I work hard and play harder.
I thrive on learning. I enjoy travel, reading, the outdoors. I'm constantly looking for something new to try and learn.
I love my quiet time - those few moments out of the day where I'm lost in my own thoughts.
I love challenging my mind. Give me a good discussion - talk life, love, politics, sports or religion. The more I learn, the more I want to know. I'm just one small speck in a very big world. I won't even attempt to prove that I know everything.
I love music and dancing.
I love cosmos and sushi.
I love running outdoors.
I love getting off the ski lift without falling - and riding my snowboard SLOWLY down a trail.
I drink my coffee with hot cocoa mix.
I'm a romantic through and through. Give me Tuscan countrysides and island sunsets. I love kisses on the forehead and long walks.
I don't run with a big social circle. I love quality time with close friends and family - and try my best to make time for them.
I'm independent. Im where I am today because its where I want to be. Ive made my choices in life and am proud of what life has given me.
My to do list:
Learn Italian
Get a tattoo
Attend an Olympic event
Skydive DONE!
Hike Halfdome -again
Run a marathon DONE!
Find my signature dish
Return to Italy
Own a first edition copy of Anne of Green Gables
Plant a garden
Go to Washington DC and see the cherry blossoms
Ride a mule down the Grand Canyon
At the end of my days, I want to reflect on my life and know that I lived it. Not just sat around watching it all go by. If there's anything I want to leave the future generations of my family, it's to not seek contentment but to find inspiration.
Life is only as good as you make it - so take the journey and enjoy the ride.
"What you do in life echoes through eternity" - Gladiator

My Interests

I love broadway shows and musicals especially Phantom of the Opera!

I absolutely LOVE sports - especially football. Gimme a good game instead of reality TV. Niner television, niner radio, niner anything. GO NINERS!

Shemar Moore, Morris Chestnut, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Kate Hudson

Oh - and Apolo Anton Ohno! He's so cool!

Old friends, new friends - anyone....Friends have come and gone - some even come back - but they all have left their imprints on my life. I love meeting new people and making new friends.My travels have introduced me to amazing people around the world. I enjoy the company of those who have a thirst for life, can laugh and be laughed at - and dance like no one is watching.

Heroes:

My mom - we may not agree on a lot of things, but she has a strength of spirit that I will never be able to touch. My sister - for reminding me to live life and enjoy the moments. My dad - for his own sacrifices in life that gave me the opportunities to get what I have today. Mike - for inspiring me every day to be a better person - for holding my hand throughout the journey.
