About Me

Welcome to our family site. Tim and I met swing dancing and still love to dance. Our daughter, Kambria loves to dance as well and we hope she'll join us out on the town as soon as she learns to triple step. :) Our family grew from 3 to 4 this summer, with the addition of our 2nd daughter Skylar on July 18th. We are very excited that Kami will have a playmate soon, and in the meantime she greatly enjoys loving up her sister. Oh...and we have a cute little..err..big yellow lab named Cody. :)

My Interests

Dancing (primarily swing, but I love ballroom too); Cooking (REAL cooking; European cuisines...just not much time for it these days. :( ); Baking; Reading (not leisure books, but informational); Traveling; Anything with my family. Oh...and chocolate.

I'd like to meet:

Are you kidding? I don't get to see the people I know already. No time for new ones. j/k. There's really no one special I'd like to meet, just keep updated with friends and family. There are always moments in the day when I say, "Hey, I'd like to ask that person a question. If only I could meet them right now." But then the moment passes and a new person comes to mind. Now beyond all reality, I'd like to meet anyone from the Bible....SOOOO many questions. :)

Music:

Wow - this varies so much it's embarassing. Swing (40's), to Reggae, to Oldies, and everything in between. However, I haven't listened to much outside of Laurie Berkner in quite a while. :)

Movies:

Well, I can just sum it up and say Romantic Comedies. I don't venture far outside that. Fools Rush In, Serendipity, My Best Friends Wedding, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Valley Girl, Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Get the idea? Outside of that in my "it was good, but not my beloved Romantic Comedy" is; Meet The Parents, Home Alone (1 and 2...silly, I know. Christmas time only.), The Notebook, Rat Race...You know, i just can't think of anymore at the moment.

Television:

7th Heaven; Gilmore Girls (number 1 show for me); LOST ; Reba on Occassion. Funny enough...Endurance ranks on both Tim and I's list. lol...if you don't know what it is, basically it's kid Survivor on Saturday mornings. :) Oh, and of course syndicated episodes of Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Seinfeld.

Books:

Wow - this could go on for a while. lol Our Babies Ourselves; Vaccinations, a Thoughtful Parents Guide; Immunity Foods for Healthy Kids; The Makers Diet; A woman After God's Own Heart; A Woman's High Calling; Raising Your Spirited Child; My Bible

LOST

Ok...So who watches LOST?  The theories were flying like crazy in season 1, but now things seem to have slowed a bit even though we continue to get new info.  I love to hear new thoughts so ...
