About Me

Horses have been a part of my life since I was 7 and I have never been willing to give them up. I am owned by one at this time, her name is Grace and she means the world to me. I am crazy in love with my husband Angus, we were married on August 3rd 1996. I can't imagine living life without him. He is a chef who just opened his own cafe, needless to say I am very well fed!I work for a General Contractor in Poulsbo. I was hired as an administrative assistant, and found myself bored out of my mind. After stepping up and asking for more work, I am now doing their marketing. I learn something new everyday and love to be challenged. I am my happiest at work when I look at the clock and the day has flown by. I like to go home at night with the feeling that I accomplished something and that I actually contributed to the world.I am a Thunderbird Cowgirl! The Thunderbird Cowgirls are the face of the Thunderbird Pro Rodeo 2007's PCRA Rodeo of the Year! The Thunderbird Rodeo is a benefit for Corey's Day on the Farm and the NW Burn Foundation. This years rodeo is June 28th and 29th at the Kitsap Fairgrounds.I can't stand fake people, just be yourself and I will accept you, even if you suck!

My Interests

I love being a part of the Thunderbird Cowgirls. They are the Grand Entry for the Thunderbird Rodeo, but are so much more. The Thunderbird Cowgirls are the spokeswomen for the rodeo which is a benefit for Corey's Day on the Farm and the NW Burn Foundation. These are two organizations that I love and get very excited about. Ask me about it sometime, I would love to tell you about it!!

I'd like to meet:
