Some things NEVER change!!

About Me

My home town is Poway, CA. I loved living there and miss it lots. I spent 90% of my growing up years there. But I guess if I really think about it, it is not so much the town I miss, as it is my family!! I have 1 brother (and his wife) and 2 "adopted" sisters who between the 2 of them I have 5 nieces and 2 nephews!! I moved (waaay out of my comfort zone) to Texas in Aug of 2002 to attend Christ for the Nations Inst. in Dallas Texas. Graduated from the 2 year May of 2004 and liked graduating so much, I decided to do it again the following year. May 2005 I graduated from the Advanced School of Youth Ministry. I am still in the Dallas area. . .not 100% sure WHY?? (GOD DOES HOWEVER)AND. . .I am trusting in HIM because HE sees the full picture that I only see part of!! *I work about8.5 hours a day as a nanny (to pay bills)But my heart lies with the Youth that I work with at my church! I have been a Youth Leader at my Chruch here in Dallas for almost 4 years. Since April, I have been given more and more responsibility with the youth. I am over the Wednesday night Youth service and also teach Sunday morning Sunday school!! It's been crazy as I try and figure out how to balance it all!!! I am still learning.myspace-layout-name: Strawberry_Banana; myspace-layout-site: url(''); }

My Interests

Interests huh? I am interested in people . . youth. . young people. . .getting to know them. . .and sharing Christ with them! I am interested in seeing the youth that God has put in my classes grow in him!! I desire to see them reach out to their lost and dying friends with boldness and share the love of Christ that they have found!*I am interested in spending time with my friends. Pasados is always fun Sunday afterenoons!! Going to the movies, bowling, frisbee or just hanging out with my friends at home. *I also love being outside!! I love taking Winnie, my 9 year old lab/border collie mix, to a park and going for a long walk (or run). *Winnie's interests lie only in squirrels (chasing them) and any type of water(lying in mud puddles or anything that is cool and wet).

Movies:

I love lots of movies, and new ones are added to the list all the time. My two top favorites are Princess Bride and Top Gun!! (Top Gun also has the best sound track) I also love Benny and June, anything Winnie the Pooh, Fools rush in, Conspiiracy Theory, What women want. . .and lots others. Although I love action/comedy over gushy love stories!

Television:

Don't really like most new tv shows that are on. . .and don't really have a lot of time to watch much T.V. But my two favorites are CSI and House. I also like to watch the old re-run shows, like Friends, Little House on the Prairie, MASH. I have also recently discovered MythBusters! Thats a fun one to watch!
