While I am extremely grateful to my dear friend, Amy, for setting up this profile for me, I feel it is time for me to be a big girl and write my own "About Me." It must, however, be said that what she wrote about me was impressively accurate for only knowing me a couple of months at the time. I am farely certain that my version will be not be nearly as entertaining as hers, but that's ok...here goes...
I was born and raised in Arkansas. Not the pretty part. Nope...I was in the flat rice-farming land. At least they say they're farming rice. I think it's really a mass conservation effort for mosquitoes...a mosquito reserve, if you will. This infestation (NOT "the cutest infestation ever") made summer evenings to die for. Evidently, Arkansas also gave me a case of "the Burts." My symptoms are very severe. Many think that my case may even be terminal. We'll see...I'm trying to fight it, but sometimes it gets so hard I just want to give up. If you are unfamiliar with "the Burts" please look at my friend, Daniel's (AKA "Houselord") profile for a detailed explanation of the disease. BTW, Daniel, we really should start a support group or something.
OK...other random facts about me... I was home schooled K-12. I come from a large family (4 sisters and a brother). I love being a nurse. I'm short and totally ok with that. I am very competitive, but usually only in a playful way. I have been blessed with some of the most amazing friends in the world. I'm very scared of heights, but I love to rock climb. I'm two teeth shy of a full bite (Can you tell which two?). I showed horses on an international level while I was in high school and my first year of college. I loved working in the ER, but I'm still haunted by things I saw there. I've ridden a steer and a bareback bronc, I've steer wrestled and barrel raced. I think about alot of things that I never say. I say alot of things that I never think about. Apples and peanut butter are staples of my diet. Sadly, almost everything I do, I have to work my tail off to be good at. On the flip side, because so much work has gone into it, success is very rewarding....if it comes. I cry every time I visit the horse that I used to show (Corporate Credit a.k.a. "Dusty") and sometimes if I talk about him too much. I hate being cold. Sometimes when I'm cold, my fingers turn white and look dead...it's a slightly disturbing sight. Thai food is amazing! My sister was the world champion barrel racer in the 18 & under division in 2004. I love football, and pretty much any other sport. Consistency and dependability are the things I appreciate most in a friend and the things that I strive to be to my friends. I've broken fingers, ribs, and chipped my femur. I will NOT jump off of cliffs into water...ever! Most of the time, I don't like to shop. I highly value long-term friendships...and Mexican food :-). Anyone I knew from Christian Home Educators still holds a special place in my heart, so if any of you are reading this please drop me a line! I love to dance. I like coffee...especially the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. I have a weakness for anything that sparkles. I like Mitch Hedburg. I know, I know, tons of randomness. Probably more than you ever wanted to know about me, but I can't stop without speaking of my friend, my daddy, my shelter, my defender, my lover, my comforter, my teacher, my holiness, my guide, my savior, and my God....Jesus Christ. Although I often loose sight of it, bringing glory to His name is my sole purpose in life. And that is all. --phrase borrowed from Amy :-) I created my profile with Myspace Layouts+
