About Me

I am 28 and madly in love with my husband, Matt.
I go to college full-time, studying to be a Medical Assistant. Eventually, I will advance my education and skills in health care, but that is a ways off yet. Besides, I've decided to pray about it first and see where God wants to use me before I spend any more money pursuing any more degrees. What I'd really like to be, though, is a mom. And someday, maybe, when I've achieved all my other goals and dreams, I may still go after the elusive idea I had as a child to be a doctor. But I'm not willing to sacrifice a family in order to go that direction. So, if it's meant to happen, it will still happen no matter how old I am.The greatest thing of all though is that Matt supports me 100% in whatever my dreams are and whatever it means to achieve them.
In the mean time, I have two BEAUTIFUL nieces by my sister Sara and an incredible niece and fabulous nephew by my step-sister Sara J. that I can be nuts about until I have my own children.
I am addicted to chocolate and coffee, not necessarily in that order of preference. Someday, I really want to backpack around Europe for AT LEAST a few weeks. Maybe even live there for a year or so. Again, a dream my husband doesn't say is impossible.
In the next five years, we'd like to live in a house of our own. Until then, renting the house we're in now is heaven.
That's all for now, folks. I'm sure I'll change this again, eventually. =)

My Interests

I'm an avid couch potato with secret desires to actually get off my fat, lazy behind and venutre out into the great outdoors. I like hiking and swimming. I'd like to learn rock climbing. I would really like to learn yoga and pilates as well as ballet (a little thing from my childhood I have yet to let go of). I like to sing and listen to music. Basically, I just like hanging out. I also really love being an Auntie.

I'd like to meet:

IF I DON'T ALREADY KNOW YOU, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME REQUESTING TO ADD ME AS YOUR FRIEND.

Music:

I like most kinds of music with the following exceptions: rap, R&B, and country (with a few exceptions to these exceptions). I don't think there's anything wrong, per se, with any of them. They're just not my thing. Though, if CDs I own indicates anything ..... The Shins, Stavesacre, City On a Hill (box set), Third Day, Keen, Franz Ferdinand, Indigo Girls, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cold Play, and Evanescence ..... to name a few.

Television:

I'm a self-proclaimed Gilmore Girls addict (I own every season on DVD!). I also love science-oriented/law shows: Grey's Anatomy, House, ER, CSI, and Law & Orders. And let's not forget the good remaining comedy's, like Scrubs!

Books:

I'm a book-buying junkie .. and I still haven't read half the ones I've bought!! But a sampling of what I own (and have read) would include: Prozac Nation, The Bell Jar, lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobit, White Oleander, Fasting Girls, to name just a few.

Heroes:

My husband, Matt~he is the best example I know of earthly unconditional love; & God~he is giving me his GRACE on a most continuous and undeserved basis and the reason I have survived my life this long
