About Me

Living back in Idaho after a few years in Maryland, and am so glad to be home! I work at Schweitzer Engineering in Pullman, Washington and will be moving to Pullman very soon.

My heart is here in the Northwest. I adore anything to do with the outdoors. More info below in the interests section.

My Interests

I enjoy stamping and scrapbooking with my girlfriends, as well as going out to dinner, movies - anything social. I also love traveling. My favorite outdoor activities include camping, fourwheeling, boating, snowshoeing, swimming, kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, parasailing, and riding my bike. I also love working out at the gym. I work out, on average, five days a week. My poison is huckleberry ice cream from Huckleberry Heaven in Elk River, Idaho (if you haven't had it then you are truly deprived). I like to sing. My car is my biggest fan, followed closely by my dog. I enjoy reading mostly historial novels, biographies, and true stories of any kind.

I'd like to meet:

I do NOT want to meet controlling people. Jealous people. Mean people. Judgemental people. I want to surround my self with positive things. I'm meeting the most wonderful friends at this point in my life and I hope to keep meeting more. I believe a person can never have too many friends and I love that they get me out of the house and out being social again.

ADVENTURES:

..

Rest in Peace Grandma, we'll continue to fight cancer!

Music:

80's music!! and these artists in no particular order: Tom Petty, Garth Brooks, Violent Femmes, Diamond Rio, Vince Gill, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Matchbox Twenty, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Mindy McCready, Patsy Cline, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, OAR, Buckcherry, Guns n' Roses, Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley, Stone Sour, Breaking Benjamin, Alicia Keys, 50 Cent, Alan Jackson, Alanis Morrissette, Alice in Chains, the list is almost endless.

Movies:

I truly prefer comedies and dramas mostly. I like Napoleon Dynamite, all the Kevin Smith movies (Chasing Amy, Clerks, Mallrats, etc), the classic Disney cartoons, Top Gun, Overboard, 13 Going On 30, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Breakfast Club, Office Space (I live this movie), The Princess Bride, Closer, The mask of Zorro, I like all the Pixar animated films. I love classic Marilyn Monroe movies.

Television:

My Name Is Earl, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, American Idol, Coupling (BBC), Absolutely Fabulous, Mind of Mencia, Scrubs, Army Wives, Side Order Of Life, 20/20, House, Big Bang Theory (my new favorite sitcom), 2 1/2 Men, Biggest Loser, How I Met Your Mother, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, South Park, Family Guy, Lil' Bush, House Hunters. I like almost anything on the Discovery Channel and TLC.

Books:

Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" series, Augusten Burroughs, biographies, historical novels and, cheesy as it sounds, I have a lot of books from Oprah's book club.

Heroes:

All the soldiers who sacrifice for a country who doesn't really seem to care and understand just how much they give up on a daily basis for them. My grandmother, for fighting ovarian cancer so hard for almost three years. And anyone who fights for what they believe in, and live their own truth. Standing up for what you want, and creating your own destiny is the hardest thing a person will ever have to do.
