I am a lover, a fighter, an aunt, a daughter, a friend, a counselor, made in glory, an artist, a clutz, a dreamer, a romantic, and sometimes a complete disaster. I have had a broken heart, been knocked down, challenged to grow, dealt with disaster, and been humbled before the thrown. However, I have also traveled, loved others to my fullest capacity, taken risks, and followed in blind faith. I am passionate and very talkative. I gain my energy from being around people and desire to make a difference in the lives of youth. I was designed to love children that the world has given up on and believe fully that God will use me to make a radical change in the life of at least one teen. I am impatient and love immediate gratification...but have learned to wait for things worth waiting for. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and never believe its ok to lie. I love bon-fires, rain, the water, photography, painting, traveling, laughing, music, movies, the smell of spring, hoodies and jeans, playing volleyball, and trying new things. I have realized more and more that life is too short to wonder "what if" so I try to live my life to the fullest - tomorrow is NOT promised to me.

I love to do volunteer work and travel on short term missions trips. I enjoy learning about other cultures and experiencing them first hand! I love people! I am a writer at heart! When my mouth can't spit out how I am feeling.. I grab paper and a pen and write it down! I also very much enjoy painting, scrapbooking, listening to music, and photography. I enjoy shooting weddings, family pictures, and freelance nature/abstract shots. I like spending time with friends and staying busy! Bascially I enjoy hanging out and doing whatever. I am a big movie buff and love to rent in or go to the theater. I also enjoy live sporting events, shopping, concerts, camp fires, camping, hiking, the beach, riding my bike, and broadway. And anyone who knows me... knows that I LOVE Disney. I collect Mickey Mouse and Disney stuff! (always a child at heart).

I'd like to meet:

The person who invented the snooze button... so I can sue for pain and suffering!

Music:

Country, Rock, 80's, and Jazz, ( a little of everything I suppose ).I love music. I love to find songs that fit whatever mood I am in and just get lost in the story that the artist is telling me. It can be very inspirational and empowering. I respect artists that write their own music and aren't afraid to be unique. A new edition to my favorites is This Beautiful Republic ~ I am proud of you Ben!!! If you haven't heard them... check them out!

Movies:

LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some classic favorites: The Goonies, Patch Adams, Love and Basketball, Napoleon Dynamite, The Notebook, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, The Princess Bride, The Neverending Story, Dead Poets Society, Labyrinth, Spaceballs, Pretty Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Beauty and the Beast.......man the list is too long. I enjoy a wide range of movies.. and from time to time I love to sit down and watch a good chick flick. -- A few additions that I almost forgot to mention that make list of favorites are: Finding Neverland, Big Fish, Toy Story, What about Bob, Rudy, Good Will Hunting, Dangerous Minds, and 10 Things I Hate about you. (I am sure I will think of more again later).

Television:

I don't really have much time to watch t.v. But I enjoy Extreme Home makeover, Friday night lights, trading spaces, Brothers and Sisters, Amercian Idol, and my guilty pleasure is MTV. img src="http://www.yourspacenow.com/img/animated238.gif"

Books:

The Bible, any self-help/spirituality book, mental health/teen issues, and I love a good mystery.

Heroes:

Jesus proves to be the only Hero I can count on unconditionally!!!!! My mother. She is a strong woman and has led by example throughout my lifetime. I thank God everyday for her.And the armed forces.... I can't thank them enough for giving us the freedom that doesn't come FREE.

So many things to think about....but, nothing to worry about!
