I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Blondish brown hair, green eyes, like to talk to friends, listen to music, photography, and chill. I try to make my first priority God, and I try to be active in church activities and whatnot. Lately that is harder than I'd like. I have a Jesus Fish tattoo on my foot, a cross that says 'grace' on my ankle and I love them. Kris and I got married a few months ago, and we're loving married life. We're in Issaquah until May so I can finish school, and who knows where after that!I think I am a pretty down-to-earth person, who, at the core loves people and loves to help people. My favorite time is spent with friends and family, or taking pictures. I work as a nanny for a family with three kids.

My Interests

God and church, photography, Kristopher, the beach, rain, spending time with family and friends. Also good books, mysteries or Christian fiction, and crocheting.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet friendly, outgoing, humorous people, who like to have good, clean fun, and Christians who live in Seattle. I think tattoos and some piercings are HOT!

Music:

All kinds. Well, almost. I love country and punk, rap and R&B, not so much into classical, or heavy metal. Love Good Charlotte, Something Corporate, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Ten Shekel Shirt, Third Day and Lost and Found.

Movies:

Dirty Dancing, The Wood, Varsity Blues, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Monsoon Wedding, Good Will Hunting.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, ER, The Apprentice, America's Next Top Model, Las Vegas...good shows.

Books:

I'm really into a series by Dee Henderson, so far I've read the Healer and one other. Also love trashy beach reads; currently I'm half way through Confessions of a Shopaholic. My absolute addiction is REALLY good muder mysteries...The Stone Barrington series, to be exact.

Heroes:

Kris, for his strength and humor. Dionne for her crazy ability to make me laugh, to keep me sane, and to be my bestest friend.

We're engaged! Last night Kris proposed. It was really sweet and he was really nervous, which made it that much more sincere and precious! I am so excited! The ring is GORGEOUS, exactly what I wanted!...
