For those that know me, you know the story. For those that don't, here you go... I’m an Arizona girl through and through. I was born and raised in Mesa/Chandler, Arizona and moved to Huntington Beach, CA in July of 1998. Unlike most CA people, I am a country girl, I don’t have fake anything or wear a lot of make-up, I don’t have to be all dressed up to run to the store, I’m not really into designer fashion, I’m drama free for the most part, I HATE rude and/or snobby people, and will tell you straight up how it is and what I’m feeling. I don’t hide much of anything, I’m not ashamed of who I am, what I’ve done or what I’ve become; I am proud of where I come from...
I am a very simple person, yet complicated at times. Let’s just say I am “simply complicatedâ€. I enjoy the simple things in life like flowers picked from the neighbor’s garden rather than a dozen roses from an expensive flower shop, home cooked meals over an overpriced fancy restaurant, and laying on the couch talking for hours about nothing instead of going out to a crowded “place to be†type of club. But I also enjoy flowers sent to my office for no reason, a nice night out at a five star restaurant, a day at the spa, and I love a great bottle of wine from time to time too. I am VERY spontaneous, outgoing, independent, mature, professional, fun, loyal, upbeat and am a riot when I get drunk. I know how and when to have fun, and how and when to be serious. I understand the balance between work and play, but also play as hard as I work. I have worked hard to get where I am today. I am currently a Paralegal/Legal Assistant for a partner in a multi million dollar Medical Malpractice/Personal Injury law firm in Orange County. Not sure how many 27 year olds can say they are seriously at the top of their game at such a young age?!TEAM LOCO BOYS RULE!!!
A lot has happened in the past few years to make me who I am today. My outlook on life now is much different than it was even just a few years ago. Making new friends, losing some along the way (R.I.P. Jason “Woodâ€, "Hairy" Darrin Pierson, Brian “Squeakyâ€, and Mark), family drama, heartbreak, and experiencing a lot of life’s lessons has taken me down a road I never thought I would travel. Luckily, I am still a positive person and have not become jaded like most people do when you have been burned as many times as I have. The people I used to think little of have been the most surprising and are now the ones I depend on the most. I have also learned that the people you think will always be there for you will probably be the ones that let you down over and over again. I try to make sure that everyone that is important to me knows just how I feel about them, because you never know when they might slip out of your life for good. I used to say that family was the most important thing in my life, and for my mom and my sister that still rings true, it's just the rest of the family that's not so important anymore. It's amazing how things change as you grow up and finally see the truth and reality behind alot of things. Hence, I am starting to think that just having people in your life that love and care for you is more important than anything. Whether they be family or friends, as long as they are loyal and show you support in the decisions you make, it doesn't really matter what their relation is to you. As my Team Loco boys say, "You don't have to be blood to be family". I have finally realized the true meaning of that phrase. I have to admit that I have a GREAT group of friends, they mean the world to me! They are crazy, fun, spontaneous, caring and for some reason most of them like to get naked before the night is over...
