I like star gazing while talking w/Jesus, watching God make clouds, deep and fun friendships, rock climbing, horses, philosophy, back-packing, hiking, DREAMING WITH MY EYES OPEN, going ice skating, roller blading, concerts, soccer, playing football, ultimate frisbee, trail running, decaf green tea, going to Starbucks w/friends, old school stuff like capture the flag, DANCING: swing, hip-hop, salsa (and to my own surprise, ballet)
