I'm a minivan drivin' soccer mom...with a bit of an edge. My daughter, Zoe, is my world!!! My friends and family are very important to me! I have a big nutty family and love them all! I'm a single mother, I work from home, and am going to the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy. I am absolutely obsessed/consumed with Massage Therapy right now!!! I will graduate in December then will be able to take the licensing exam in February...seems like so far away!!! I can't wait! Then-I plan to complete the Fitness Therapist program next year. School is a lot of fun and very challenging...hope I can make it! I have some pretty cool people in my class which makes going to class enjoyable-and it just feels good to be doing something I've always wanted to do. I love it!!! I think I have found my 'calling'...pretty sure this time. I LOVE the mountains and living in Colorado!!! I'll probably never move away from here. I like to hike, backpack, camp, and just be up there. "When in doubt-go higher!!!" There is nothing like sitting on top of a mountain... especially when you know most of the world will never get the opportunity to see what you are seeing or feel what you are feeling. I live near some cool hiking trails. I hope to get some good hikes in this year and bag some more 14ers. ...the mountains are calling...and calling...and calling... I love music and most forms of artistic expression. Concerts are a favorite pastime. I have some great 'memories' from shows at Red Rocks. I also like to go to museums and galleries, and love live theater. I don't drink-so don't go to bars much...but I do like to hang out in coffee shops. I'm sort of addicted to good coffee and real milk chocolate. Thrift Stores and Garage Sales are hard for me to pass up...I hate shopping at supercenters and malls. I guess I just don't want what everyone else has. I try to lead a fairly healthy lifestyle...I work-out at the gym 3X/week and practice yoga when I can. I try to eat organic whole foods...but damn that's hard!!! I like most animals-but not so much to eat!!! I don't have a pet right now-Zoe has a turtle named Sally-I'm not real fond...I think I'm a dog person. I really miss our old dogs...Crystal & Cheyenne. Miss Jane-the 100 year old cat-is still kickin' and living with Jeff right now, as is Ringo-the newest addition. I keep pretty busy with my life. I mostly just love being Zoe's mom and hanging out with her!!! She is a pretty cool kid. Check out this video of her playing soccer...I really am a soccer mom...lol!!! ~peace~love~happiness~
