About Me

What is there to say about me? I'm 26 and have a beautiful little angel who is my world these days. Basically, I'm a free spirit, always searching for something to do at the spur of the moment. My mind changes like the wind and I can rarely settle on something when it's a big life-changing decision. I am a Christian. I have spent the longest time in my life running away from that which I know to be truth and I have finally come to rest that God knows all and there is a path He has set before me. It is just up to me to follow it holding on to the teachings he has given to me. I am always looking for something better and rarely settle on something that "just fits."
I enjoy being outside and can't stand just sitting around the house watching TV. Camping, canoeing, hiking and laying out at the beach are some of my favorite activities during the warmer months. I enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the winter- not too good at either, but I like to give it a try. I don't like being alone but know when it's time for me to take some time to myself and just reflect on life. I hate talking things out and usually like to get things straightened out on my own, in my own peace and serenity. I guess I just enjoy my own space.
When it's cold and wet outside, I like to climb in bed or in front of a fire and watch TV, snuggled close to someone I care about listening to the sound of each little rain drop fall. When it's warmer and raining, I run outside and play, stomping and jumping through each puddle like a little kid- some people just don't know how to grow up and I never will.
I have been in and out of one crazy relationship after another, but each one has taught me something new about myself. I think orchids, irises and lillies are absolutely beautiful flowers. Roses are another one of my favorites- face it I'm a girl. I am old fashioned and believe in chivalry. I think men should open doors for women just because it's a gentlemanly thing to do and girls never mind getting flowers "just because." I want to be pampered but only if I can pamper the other person as well. I love taking care of others.
I am extremely adventurous and willing to try almost anything at least once. I believe you only have one life, so why be afraid of the world. If something's meant to be it will happen, don't force it. I love hopping in the car with a friend and no specific destination in mind to discover new places. I guess I just like to explore the world that has been set before me. The world is yours for the taking!
I have been to two different colleges, working on transferring to the third right now, and have had about seven different majors. I am currently working in the medical staffing industry. My job works for now but I'm not sure if it will last for the rest of my career. It just seems like I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life, as far as my career goes. I would love to have a job that would allow me to travel the world and see everything it has to offer. Another good job would be if someone would pay me to hang out at the beach all day! That's great. Anyone looking to sponser me?!?!
I am not sure if I will ever settle down. I have yet to find the right man but I know he's somewhere out there. I just need to wait until God points him in the right direction. Patience is a virtue. Overall though, I think I'm open for when that time arrives. I believe that you should never just settle for second best- the best is out there you just have to find it first. You can't force something that's not right to become "the one." I know that when I find the right person, he will be my best friend and will know me inside and out! He will be someone I can tell anything to and he won't judge me for my thoughts and opinions even if they are off the wall and completely crazy!
I have moved to four different states and have lived in 42 places in my 25 years. My family means the absolute world to me and I have just recently started righting those relationships. I am the oldest of five children. I have two beautiful younger sisters and two handsome younger brothers. They all mean everything to me and I would die for them if that was in the plan. I have a lot of friends and would do anything for any of them unless they hurt me beyond repair. I have a very forgiving heart and want to maintain relationships at all costs. I love people. TO SUM IT ALL UP- LIFE IS MY PASSION!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Knowshon Moreno (what about that Heisman leap?), Matthew Stafford-- my boys at UGA- Colt McCoy, Peyton Manning, Matthew McConnaughy, Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts, Alicia Silverstone- to see if there is a resemblence in person- Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, JFK, Richard Nixon, Bob Woodward, Maria Shriver, JC Watts, Sarah Palin... there are lots of people. Other than famous personalities, I'd like to meet anyone who enjoys life and likes to be around others. Someone who is fun to be around but knows how to respect others. I want to meet someone who has a caring heart and puts others before them without letting the world walk all over them. I know we make mistakes and mistakes are okay as long as they are learning from them and trying day by day.
