GAME ON!

About Me

I'm a fairly nice person when you're nice to me.
Everyone starts out even but if you cross me I'll ruin you.
I love my family and friends whole-heartedly because they love me the same way.
I try to be a good person everyday and I'm often successful.
I live and breathe music and I'm happiest when I'm home singing at the top of my lungs.
I love:
books
all things I Love Lucy
Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movies
the strong mental connection I have to my siblings
and
the love and life I share with Mike.
I'm ridiculously easily amused and I love to make people happy so I'm often a big, silly dork ~ which I have NO problem with.
I try very hard to stop, look around and notice the little things.
I'm taking up photography this year and thanks to Mike, I have the most kick-ass camera ever, so I plan to do very well.
Oh and I'm married now and I was right; it is cool.
