I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Plain Jane. You know the type. I love my family, love Jesus, and my friends. I Work hard, I do what is right, go to church, always looking forward...you know just doing enough to get by. But if you catch me with my sister or at a wedding shower I have a whole new story to tell.

My Interests

I am up to doing most anything. Skiing (for fun; not sport), I will try playing B-Ball, Football (and watching UT football/SEC), I like to ice skate, taveling (I've been Mexico, Jammaica, Canada, Bahammas, England, Scotland, soon to live in Tonga, and other USA local stuff), I love hiking, biking, I do run; when I am up to it, camping, Church, summer camps, cooking, and alot more stuff.

I'd like to meet:

One day, I would like to think I could meet some Royalty. And if that does not happen then anyone else that I find of interest. Then God would also be a nice "person" to meet.

Music:

Everything but Country (to sad; though non-country can be sad to) and RAP (I just can't relate). So that leaves Jazz, Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Classical, Bluegrass, Mountain, Christian, Oldies, etc...

Movies:

Lord of the Rings, Heary Potter, I like the Hallmark films (new and old), Anne of Green Gables, Pixar films, well anything well put together, movies that support my political agenda, and I am not to fond of scary movies.

Television:

Whatever floats my boat.

Books:

Sue Harrison, Elisabeth Elliot, anything on the back of the toliet, Bible Studies, or anything of interest. Reading is not my interest, thats why so few books.

Heroes:

Elisabeth Elliot (Missionary), Mom, Sister Jennifer, And anyone who helps me in my time of need.
