The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the countenance.

About Me

I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. However, I am currently in the Army, stationed at Ft. Stewart, GA and deployed to Iraq for a second time. I am looking forward to finishing the deployment, discharging from the Army, and beginning a new chapter of life with Luke. I am carefree...I am a true blonde :D ... I love adventure...I appreciate the small things in life...I love to laugh...and my family and close friends are very important to me!Myspace Backgrounds

My Interests

Luke and I on a Dolphin TourJust Showing Some Love!In ArizonaGet Your Own! | View SlideshowI love Basketball and softball (really any sport), spending time with friends and family, and anything that includes adventure (what can I say, I am an adrenaline junkee)! I cherish the time I spend with my family and good friends. I also enjoy traveling and discovering new things. I would really like to obtain an open water diving certificate...hopefully in the near future.

Music:

Really, I will listen to just about anything. Luke even has me singing rap songs. However, I tend to listen to rock and alternative the most.

Movies:

I like all types of movies. I do have one minor issue with movies though... staying awake through their duration. My closest friends can attest to this!

Television:

I don't watch much tv. However, I do love 24 and Alias. I also seem to be watching a lot of Comedy Central.

Books:

I admit, I really don't read much. How I got through college without reading any of the materials assigned is beyond me. When I do read the book must capture me from the 1st page or forget it. Props to Dan Brown. I have thoroughly enjoyed 4 of his books thus far, and I look forward to a new release from him.

Heroes:

I really can't think of anyone specific that I consider to be a hero. I admire all those who follow their dreams regardless of how out of reach they may seem.

My Blog

Why us?

Well, for those of you that have read my previous blogs, you will know that my roommates and I ran into a little mouse issue.  This issue has since grown... Not too long after the incident with t...

I'm doing well!

Well, it's been a while so I wanted to let everyone know I am doing good.  I have just been working ridiculous hours so I have had little time for corresponding.  Truthfully, the only reason...

You should get a laugh out of this one!

I am going to vent one frustration and then i have a few funny deployment stories to share.  These such things only happen to me...I don't know why.  Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy. First, the...

Furry Little Friend

So the other day I come home from work to find this note on the desk: Dearest Roomies,      We officially have a mouse problem!  I flicked on your light tonight as I saw a mo...

And so it goes

Iraq continues to, well, be Iraq.  Life here could always be better, but we are making the best out of what we have.  I have gotten myself into a daily routine now so hopefully time will go...

Time is limited on the computer so I will keep this short.  I have finally made it to the camp which my unit will be stationed at.  Conditions aren't the greatest, but I am doing all that I ...

What a fun year 2007 will be...

Well, I just got the news from my company commander that my team will be deployed to a little base right in the middle of Ramadi.  I can't say as though I am really surprised due to the fact that...

Undelivered Promises

I am simply going to take a brief moment to vent.  One of my pet peeves in life is that of a someone close promising something and not following through with it.  Don't get me wrong, I know...
