About Me

Well, let's see I am now 33 and loving my 30's. I thought I would dread them but I'm not. I am married to the love of my life. We have been together 18 yrs now and we have three children: Kyle, Matthew, and Makenna.I am mainly a stay at home mom but I earned a teaching degree, FINALLY, in December of 2005. I hope to get a job teaching K-2 in the next couple of years. Michigan's job market pretty much sucks right now.

Ok now to who I really am. Most people like me; if they don't then there is something wrong with them ;) I am a spiritual and passionate person. Passionate in the things I believe in. I can be stubborn and lazy at times and I am definitely the Queen of Too Much Information. I always say if you are going to do or be something then be the best you can be. If you are a bitch then do it all the way! If you really want to know more about me then drop me a line...Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com

My Interests

Reading, gardening, and traveling, and talking on the phone. I really am boring.

I'd like to meet:

No one really ha ha. New friends are always cool! But please at least email me first before sending a friend request. Do this especially if you are a total stranger. Let me know why you want to add me b/c I am not all about who has the most friends!

Music:

I am into almost any kind of music. Pop, hip hop, rap, alternative - you name it I like it. I love love love 80's music - drives the husband crazy!

Movies:

Anything. I like romance, comedy, action, horror, artsy.

Television:

I am loving many shows right now but I can't stand most reality TV. I love Bones, Conviction, Ghost Whisperer, Close to Home, and Medium. I was a huge Buffy and Angel fan and still am.

Books:

It would be easier to ask what I don't like. I am a huge fan of children's literature. I love Harry Potter, Frog and Toad and many others. I am into sci fi, fantasy, horror, romance, history, mystery.... almost anything.

Heroes:

I don't really have heroes but there are people that I look up to and admire. Ironically most of the people I have always admired are strong women. One of them was my grandma Marks. I miss her everyday of my life!
