Waterfalls, green trees and wildlife are my passion. Many years ago I was traveling across country with a friend who brought me to Oregon, to Multnomah Falls. I knew then I had found my home. It took quite a while, but I held on to the thought and while my husband and I were living in Michigan I placed my resume on monster.com. I didn't restrict the responses to Michigan. Imagine my surprise when the first employer to respond to my post, responded just two weeks later from Portland. At that moment I knew for sure it was meant to be, so 2500 miles of road we traveled and here I am.
.."arial" color="white"On my days off, you will likely find me exploring the area with my husband, Kirk and our dog, Heidie.
We also spend alot of time on the comic book convention circuit, since my husband is a published illustrator. We both are basically big kids, but we have alot of fun and are rarely bored.
A ** New ** Addition to our family arrived in July!! Heidie now has a puppy brother:
I'd like to meet:

Music:
.."arial"an eclectic mess of everything and always changing. usually something I can follow the words too or music that creates an emotion for the moment
Movies:
.."arial"horror with the right lighting and mood.
action or comedy if its an actor I particularly enjoy, like Billy Zane or Adam Sandler.
Television:
.."arial"when I watch television it is generally a DVD or channels like the History channel, HGTV or SciFi. I get alot of DVDs free from the Portland public library. It is really well stocked and they have many many first run movies, plus its *FREE* and beats waiting for netflix anyday.
my list is usually filled with series that I never got to watch, or some that were my favorites, like "that 70s show" and "king of the hill", "XFILEs", "Roswell" or "Millenium"
Books:
.."arial" wearing glasses these days, but working more than I care to admit so I rarely have time to read beyond a work manual or new training guide
Heroes:
.."arial"
Unfortunately my heroes are three people who live 2500 miles away from me. Distance or separation has never kept them out of my heart or mind though...
MY KIDS!
They are ALL intelliegent, beautiful and have good heads on their shoulders because they haven't let their peers or friends guide them to their choices or likes. They haven't let technology turn them in to brainless people without common sense to guide them.
Most children have ALL of their focus on playing video games, listening to their IPODs, chatting online with friends, but if their parents don't monitor it, they forget to keep it in moderation. My kids like those things but also enjoy other activities with their friends like going to church and fishing. They are respectful and manners are more important to them than being the center of attention.
I will always be proud of my kids, they are my heroes!
