About Me

I'm so in love with Dean; he lights up every day for me; he is the puzzle piece that fits me.
I'm addicted to shoes. I fall over in flat shoes and run into things all the time. I believe in making your own traditions. I actually like public transport. I am as fiercly loyal as I am independant. I don't have regrets. Am always up for trying new things. I have neither time nor the energy for jealousy. I love the lifestyle of "No Worries". I'm a chatterbox. I want to be inspired daily. I haven't seen or experienced enough yet - I will always want to see more of the world. I am curious. I want to immerse myself n people, places and things I don't know about. I like to question what is taken for granted. I like to question everything. I want to be a perfectionist, but I can't be bothered to take the time. I'm finally getting into politics. Sometimes, I believe conspiracy theories.
I'd like to think I'm compassionate, intelligent, fun, talented, ambitious, kind, insightful and determined. But, I know I can be impatient, over-competitive, a complete nerd, too inquisitive and slightly obssessive-compulsive.
I'm an American living in Australia. Chucked in the hourly job back in the States to pursue a career in public relations / sports administration. Just missing the old college degree. So, I came to Oz to get it. Am I out of my mind. No. I'm meant to be here. It's the first time in my life I've had my sh*t together and a clear plan in mind. I've found what I'm meant to be doing. That's a feeling I don't want to lose.

My Interests

My Husband - Dean. Experiencing firsts with him, discovering everything about him, spending time with him, getting cuddles and massages from him, looking forward to the future with him, being so into him it's not funny.

Sav Blanc from New Zealand. Meeting new people. Sleep. Getting caught off-gaurd, even if it pains me. Late night cups of tea. Laughing so hard your stomach hurts and you can't breathe. Long conversations with good friends. Rediscovering past pleasures. Putting in the effort to do a good job the first time. Good tequila. Road trips with my best mate. Walks around The 'Tan. Sunshine so bright it makes my eyes squint. Skinny Latte's with Equal. Kikki K and Philosophy products. Learning that we're all not that different from each other. Trying to be different despite it.

Love Motorsports. Love it. Seriously. Do Not underestimate my love of the sport. The smell of high-octane petrol, burning rubber and and hearing a rumbling race engine is an emotional experience for me. My love for it has become a passionate career pursuit.

Yoga and dance. Not that I'm good at either of them. But, I can say with joy that I've done belly dancing and pole dancing. Time to tame it down a bit. Dean's ready to tackle Ballroom with me. (Isn't he just the best ever?)

I love travelling. I have been to Rome, Naples, Crete, Santorini, Athens, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Istanbul, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico... I love Vegas! I have to get to Tasmania, New Zealand and Bora Bora with Dean while I'm on this side of the planet

I'm a bit of a car nut. Okokokokokok - I'm a REVHEAD. I admit it. I enjoy going to car shows - specifically the Mini-Truck shows, especially when the guys from Wicked Customs are featured.

I'd like to meet:

I wasn't looking for him, but I met him. Or he met me. Either way, I'm spending my life with him, experiencing a happiness I've never known before. We have so much to look forward to. And that makes me the luckiest woman on the planet.

Otherwise....
Those who have my dream job. I am studying PR and Sports Administration with a research focus on motorsports to one day make it my career field. I am putting myself on a path towards team management. I'd like to meet people who are already in the industy, in any capacity.

Music:

Sometimes you're in the mood for rap. The next moment you want country. Feel like mellowing out after that? Try a little Jazz. Want to thrash about in a mosh pit next? ...Welcome to the soundtrack of my life.

Movies:

I love classic movies. I just can't help it. Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn & Humphrey Bogart is my favourite. Followed closely by The Sound of Music and Like Water for Chocolate. Yes, I'm a dag.

But... that doesn't mean I don't love a good action flick...

Books:

I love to read. Always have. There was period of time I didn't have a television. You couldn't keep me out of the bookstore.

I read myself to sleep every night. Sometimes, I read myself to sleep when I'm studying. I hate that.

Heroes:

The US Military. My sisters.
