About Me


I believe that people are innately good. I believe in second chances, just not fifty. I believe that we can make the same mistakes repeatedly and never learn from them. I believe that God never gives us more than we can handle. I believe that you can be in love with two people at once. I believe in hugs and forehead kisses. I believe that the stars are our glimpse into Heaven. I believe in forever. I believe that giving up on a dream is sometimes mandatory. I believe that our prayers are always answered, even though they may have a different outcome than expected. I believe that everything happens for a reason, though I am curious about what the reason is. I believe that I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I believe that sometimes love just isn't enough. I believe that broken hearts do mend. I believe that you can return but never go back. I believe that memories are sometimes too strong to face. I believe that distance makes the heart grow fonder. I believe that sometimes you lose yourself by loving another too much. I believe in best friends. I believe that words can hurt more than fists. I believe in starting over. I believe in forgiveness, even though it hurts like hell. I believe that you need to know when to walk away. I believe that the ocean soothes my soul. I believe that some people are in our lives only for a season. I believe in others, even to my own detriment. I believe that God Himself calls the good ones home because He cannot stand to be apart from them any longer. I believe in trust. I believe that driving all night with the windows down is the best kind of therapy there is. I believe that love is always worth it. I believe that you can become unaffected when you hear the words "I am sorry" one too many times. I believe in fairytales and happy endings. I believe that there is something better for me out there than this. I believe in promises. I believe that those beautiful boys of ours are in Heaven, and that they check in on us from time to time. I believe that sometimes there is too much pain to try again. I believe that we create our own happiness. I believe that sometimes love has to be conditional. I believe that Jack, Jim, and Jose can numb your pain, at least for a little while. I believe that there is a great number of people in this world that love you, even if you are not aware of them all. I believe that people can change, you just can't make them. I believe that the sun will always rise. I believe that all you need is a Uhaul truck and a hitch. I believe that beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most.

My Interests



My interests are, but not limited to: Finding any means of transportation...car, bus, plane, boat, my own two feet...anything to get me the hell outta Dodge! I enjoy laughing with Em whenever possible, and driving 14 hours with her 3 year old in my backseat. I enjoy laughing at stupid people. I like to use the word ridiculous. I spend most days clicking my heels together trying to GET OUT of Kansas and my nights wide awake chain smoking, chugging Diet Coke.

I'd like to meet:



I just want to see the ones that I love, the ones that had to go before me, the ones that I miss every single day... when I get where I'm going.

Music:

Whatever is on my iPod will do. Singing Angry American, shaking my fist in the air, while driving down Kapahulu is a personal fave. Man To Man is second to none. Mendocino County Line sounds great screamed down the highway. Pictures (with my own words) is a must have. I basically just like country...damn.

Movies:

Anything that has to do with love and war :)

Television:

I'll watch mostly anything as long as it can be DVR'd. I abhor commercials and will not watch anything that involves them.

Books:

Trash magazines are always nice. DO NOT read "Dear John" I cried through the whole damn thing. In order to read anything remotely creepy I have to have sunlight.

Heroes:

My heroes are the boys who are fighting or have fought overseas, especially the ones that did not make it home to us. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and for that I am eternally grateful.

I will miss you always... January 26, 2005

Damn Coozy

I searched all night for my damn coozy.  I needed it.  I needed something tangible to hold in my hands.  Dreams and memories don't stay there long.  The coozy to me was thoughts of...
