About Me

I can Die Happy just having grown up in Tahoe.... and that was just my start... you see... I aspire to be a crazy red headed old lady in a boat-sized cadillac driving recklessly down the road and honking at people because I'm old as dirt and I can! And I'm totally looking forward to all life has between now and then...

My Interests

Kids are my heartbeat. I desire that none should fall through the cracks of any system. The youth I'm in love with now and my future students. That is life to me. As for finer details I adore: *A good cup of tea *Gum *The smell of lake water in my hair *Playing in the Ocean *The study of Humanities *Lipstick: MUAH!

I'd like to meet:

Jesus called me out to be his when I was twelve. And since then I've committed to following him for the rest of my time here... and Oh for that face to face meeting! "As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.Even after my skin is destroyed,Yet from my flesh I shall see God; Whom I myself shall behold,And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!" Job 19:25-27

Music:

Music is some kind of beautiful! I love when Men and Women of God worship him from the heart in song... I confess Funk and 80's are my guilty pleasures but then again I am notorious for having NO SHAME when it comes to taste in music, and I love every minute of it. My life's soundtrack: "Pour Out""Take My Hand" Shawn McDonald, The entire "Collision" album by David Crowder Band. "Tequila" Daduntdadaduntdaduntda, "Bad Mama Jama" by Carl Carlton, "Cherish" Madonna, "Semi Charmed Kind of Life" Third Eye Blind, "Different People" No Doubt, "What I Got" Sublime, "Love, Peace, Happiness" Out of Eden, "Convinced" Nicole C. Mullen,"All Falls Down" Kanye West, "Unwritten" Natasha Bedingfield, "Ocean Floor" "Father's House"Audio Adrenaline, "A Sorta Fairytale" Tori Amos, "Better Together" Jack Johnson, "Under the Bridge" Red Hot Chilli Peppers, When Poodle sings "I could Sing of Your Love Forever," When Poodie sings "Oceans from the Rain," When Peanut sings "Beautiful One," "A rose is still a rose" Aretha Franklin, "Mr. Big Stuff" Jean Knight, "You Really Got a Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson, "Refuge" "Slow Dance" John Legend, "Head Over Feet" Alanis Morisette, "I Will Come to You" Hanson, "Infatuation" Christina Aguilera, "Smile" Vitamin C, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" Whitney Houston, "PYT" Michael Jackson, "On the Way Down" Ryan Cabrera, "Vienna" Billy Idol, "Your Song" Elton John "September" Earth Wind and Fire,"Soldier" Destinys child, "Different Kind of Free" Zoe Girl.

Books:

The Bible, it is pure guidance. Colossians and Ecclesiastes and Romans currently!

Heroes:
