About Me

When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
~Dr. Wayne Dyer
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons. Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible.
~Cherie Carter-Scott
If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?
~Sydney J. Harris
Holding a grudge is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
~Malachy McCourt
I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
~Author Unknown
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
~Buddha
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
~H. Jackson Browne
I really have to say that I am the luckiest woman on the planet!! I married my best friend! A man that makes my heart smile, and makes me a better person! I ADORE my husband!!!!

For anyone who hasn't seen me in a while, I'll give you a quick recap... I'm currently living in Kingsville Texas (near Corpus Christi and Padre Island). Sean and I got married on October 28th, 2006 and we moved down here for Sean's flight training with the Navy. We're keeping busy with our two dogs and we just bought a house... it's a 1945 King Ranch home, and we're in the process of gutting it and renovating! I've got more details in my blogs...
Our skiing trip to Breckenridge Colorado

My Interests

Our photographer: David Baxter... he ROCKS!!!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I really love to stay active and be outdoors... I love horseback riding, mountainbiking, hiking, camping, fishing, walking on the beach, picnics, and hanging out with friends... and anyone who knows me knows that it's all about food... show me a good meal and I'll show you a happy Michaela!!

I'd like to meet:



Movies:



Television:

I love Will and Grace, Friends, Law and Order SVU, Nip Tuck, CSI Las Vegas, and other shows like that... I don't usually get to watch too much tv between full time school and full time work... so I rent the series on DVD!
And of course, Star Trek TNG because that's really what brough me and Sean together... Chili's and Star Trek... good times!!!

Books:

Anything by Joseph Wambaugh!!

Heroes:

My husband!
