Love God. Love Others. Take time to Listen.

About Me

My name is Sammi. You can call me Sam, Sammi Jo or even Samantha. I was born and raised in Orange County, California and now I live in the 757, Virginia. I work for a living at the Law Offices of Steve C. Taylor and I'm a full-time student that still doesn't know what to major in. My current options are as follows: Art Education, Criminal Justice, Photography...(subject to change and I'm sure it will) Laughter is my favorite pass-time, art and singing are a close second, and athletics and sports fill the rest of my time. I'm a huge Ohio State fan (Go Buckeyes!) as well as Dallas Cowboys! I like to play football, but I really love to play softball and soccer! I'm super competitive but I know how to laugh at myself. My passion is people; I love helping people and I love to share love with people. I am follower of Christ and through grace alone am I saved. I make friends everywhere I go and I have no problem admitting I'm a social butterfly.

My Interests

I Love to laugh. "Laughter is the shortest distance between friends." -Victor Borge. I laugh to Love. "The more I think about it the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others." - Vincent van Gogh. I Love to live. "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." -Audrey Hepburn

I'd like to meet:
