About Me

I'm originally from the Detroit area...family moved to Walloon Lake, moved to Bozeman, Montana to attend college and experience the beauty of pow pow at Bridger Bowl, moved to Boulder, Colorado to teach preschool for a year and snowboarding at Eldora, moved back to Petoskey to finish another degree.

My Interests

Snowboarding, swimming, and biking are pretty much my favorite things to do. I love the rocky mountains. I love teaching several activities...swimming, snowboarding, diving, elementary and middle school. I've been known to throw paint off buildings onto large canvases while listening to loud music. I love my nephews..Griffin and Colin. I love writing, art, Australian wine, poetry, vintage jewelry, spinning poi, snowboard boys with blue eyes, my dear friends, road trips, my paintings, my family, soaking in hotsprings, driving through the mountains, boating, camping, dancing, and vodka. I'm alllll about moving back out west....Tahoe, Vail, Mammoth, Big Sky...I dislike ignorance, narrow mindedness, racism, beer, cake, and cats.

Interesting people with clean teeth, a job, a brain, a snowboard, a bike, cooking skills, and a mohawk

It hurts so good

Today is my fifth day as a non-smoker. The patch is pumping me with 21mg of nicotine. I have nine days to go until I move down to 14mg. I'm not going nuts...not bitching at anyone...not eati...
