About Me

I just moved back to the States after 2 1/2 years of living in Thailand. I'm adjusting but so far it is nice to be home. I've been busy but am looking forward to what's next!

I'm sometimes stubborn, sometimes hard headed, consistently driven to accomplish things and LOVE to correct grammatical errors when people speak English incorrectly (I blame my dad for this).

I have many conflicting life dreams and am currently trying to figure out what to do with my life. I'm 28 and am consistently challenged by a question a friend I made this past year asked me (he was only reflecting my own life thoughts and I know he didn't mean anything by it); "You're 28! What have you done with your life?"

Other than that, I'm just me; weird quirks and all!

My Interests

I enjoy learning new things, reading, traveling, watching t.v., hanging out with friends, drinking hot chocolate or hot tea while watching the Christmas lights on the tree, sitting by warm fires and being with loved ones.

Music:

I like most stuff, although I couldn't tell you what it was I was listening to...ask my brother for details :-)

Movies:

I LOVE psychological thrillers and chick flicks. A good drama and/or war movie is always enjoyed too. I basically like anything except horror movies...and even those are starting to grow on me.

I'm starting to look forward to Christmas films...my favorite is White Christmas...I know its an old movie, but its a definite keeper!

Television:

I'll pretty much try anything. My favorites right now are Grey's Anatomy, House, Criminal Minds, and Bones.

Books:

I love reading! My favorites are: Pride & Prejudice and the Mark of the Lion Series...I re-read these at least once a year. I just finished Three Cups of Tea about a guy who builds schools throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan (primarily). It was very inspiring!

Heroes:

Anyone that impacts the world in a positive way
