Love & marriage...

About Me

Yeah! I'm a newlywed!

When I'm not working at my crappy job I work endlessly on our house, cook and eat and don't really find time to run anymore. Darn. I drink my coffee black and eat healthy. If I don't have coffee each morning, I get a headache. Is that dependency, addiction or both?
I have a happy little ranch home and I'm also in the process of getting my MBA; which means, I can finally be a college student again!
Griffin takes up a lot of our time. He's so damn cute.

Your Ideal Pet is a Big Dog
You're both energetic, affectionate, and a bit goofy.
And neither of you seem to mind very slobbery kisses! What's Your Ideal Pet?Good thing we are getting Griffin and Zoe on March 1! Stay tuned for pictures of the cute new additions to the family. I know we are excited. :O)

I'd like to meet:

I would really like to meet God (preferably before I die so that I can share my experience with everybody else). Other than that, I think I'd like to meet Grandpa Horst. I might begin understanding my Dad a lot more.

Movies:

Moulin Rouge, Goonies, STAR WARS, The Lord of the Rings, Sex and the City.

Television:

Sex and the City FREAK here. (Grey's Anatomy also.)

Books:

When you read everyday, you cover a lot of text. Here is a short list I can only recall off the top of my head: The Devil in the White City, Catcher in the Rye, Jane Eyre, As I Lay Dying, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, The Lord of the Rings, Will in the Word, Anna Karenina, Midnight in the Palace of Reason, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Freakonomics, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Widow for a Year, Red Tent.

Clearly not a city girl

I've always aspired to be a true city girl. The thought of truly living downtown with no car. More specifically, Manhattan. So, I'm sure that SATC had a little something to do with this fantasy, but I...

Music, the soul, the flow

At least in the past year, up until last night, I've almost forgotten how important and moving music actually is. I can't say the same thing for all genres of music, but there is something about, what...
