I TIMOTHY 4:12

About Me

Well, the first thing you should know about me is that I love Jesus, and everyone He loves - which includes you! I am happily married to the best man I have ever known, and have two of the cutest and sweetest babies ever (My boy, Diego - 3 yrs. in May '07; My chica, Diella - a year Jan. '07). I am confident, sometimes funny, sometimes just dorky, smart, opinionated, caring, loyal, adventurous, a little bit messy and undisciplined, can be serious, but rarely take myself too seriously, like to try new things, but won't usually stick with it unless I'm good at it, and I am nothing without Jesus. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, helping young people know Jesus better, singing worship to God, painting and drawing, keeping up with politics, reading historical fiction, hiking, biking, being out in nature (as long as I get a nice soft bed at the end of the day), making jewelry, interior design, and cooking, (but not baking, cuz I sorta suck at that).

Music:

Christian music of pretty much all styles, and classic jazz. Third Day, Jeremy Camp, John Reuben, Toby Mac, Hyper Static Union, Bethany Dillon, Diana Krawl, Nora Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Mercy Me, The Swift, etc.

Movies:

Far and Away; Lord of the Rings (all 3); Maverick; Oh Brother, Where Art Thou; Men in Black; Gladiator; Pride and Prejudice (the 5 hour version)

Television:

American Idol; House; What Not to Wear; Trading Spaces; Overhaulin; Biker Buildoff; Lost

Books:

Bible; This Present Darkness; Piercing the Darkness; Mark of the Lion Trilogy; Out of India Trilogy

Heroes:

Hero isn't a strong enough term for my Jesus, but if I'm going to name them, he has to go first. He's the most compassionate, amazing, loving, fascinating, (this list could literally go on forever), perfect One ever. ................................... Next is my wonderful husband, Dave. He's my hero for lots of reasons, not the least of which is loving me despite knowing me so well.:) Dave is everything I asked for in a husband and more. He's fun, funny, hard working, sweet, suave, sexy, an amazing father, and he has real integrity and character. He also happens to be THE freaking genius.;) I love you Baby!! ............................... I also have to say that my friend Alyssa and her husband Chris are two of my personal heroes. Their integrity can not be questioned. Even in the middle of their deepest sorrow their unyielding faith is a beautiful thing to witness.

So... what is real to you?  I could try to tell you what I think is real, or you can walk through my thought process with me and decide for yourself... Is it what you can see?  I suppose you...

Disappointed?

Disappointment.  It sucks, right?  When you've trusted someone, and they've let you down, or you think life should go one way, and it goes another instead. Believe it or not, I've dealt with...
