A faithful friend is the medicine of life!

About Me

table table table table td {Incase you're confused: I live in the Phoenix Metropolitan area, but it says Fountain Valley, CA because that's where I grew up. I work at a High School, and too many of the students were finding me on here when my location was Phoenix, which is why I put FV instead.Well, here's a quick overview for those who care to actually read and not just look at pictures: After High School I went to Vanguard University for 4 yrs and got a degree in Digital Media Production and Cinematography. 3 months after graduation, I married my college sweetheart, Kevin Anderson. We've been married now for 3 1/2 years! He was the youth pastor at our church since June, 2003, but recently quit in January to pursue his Masters Degree to teach at the collegiate level-- yep, he's really SMART!! I was a High School teacher for the first 2 years, and just recently accepted a job as an Executive Assistant for a High School Principal/ Office Supervisor, and LOVE IT! :)Kev and I don't have any kids yet- and yes, it's by choice. We're waiting for Kev to finish school, since I'm the suga mama right now, and decide where we'd like to settle down for good before we have any bambinos! We're also planning on traveling some before we start a family. We have a 3yr old dog named Macy Gray who's lab/ Australian Shephard mix, and her claim to fame is that she had her picture published in a photography book at Barnes and Noble. Although Kev and my's claim to Fame is that our Wedding was featured in MARTHA STEWART WEDDING MAGAZINE WINTER 2004, and our new house was featured in New York based magazine: THE NEST Spring of 2007!! :)We are blessed to have such awesome friends and family, and thank God everyday for his blessings in our life!

My Interests

I love my husband! I love God! I absolutely love my job! Not everyone can say that, but it's TRUE FOR ME! I also love photography, incase you didn't already catch the fact that I have about a 10 minute slide show!! I love anything that has to do with design/ interior design etc... I love date nights with Kev, renting movies, playing hostess at our house, spending time with our family, road trips, traveling, knitting random stuff, and reading tabloid magazines. :) Hey, I'll admit to it.

I'd like to meet:

Ryan Gossling, Rachel McAdams, Tatum Channing, Patrick Dempsey and Oprah. :)

Books:

Anything by Nicholas Sparks-- "Bend in the Road" is probably my favortie. I've been dying to move to North Carolina ever since I read it. "New Kind of Christian" by Brian McLaren is also top on my list! Made me look at God in a whole NEW light!

Heroes:

I don't have 1 particular hero... but there are quite a few people who I admire: My sister who is one of the most talented and driven people I've ever know. My friend Lynzi who is my rock, and someone who is incredibly humble and generous about everything. My friend Sarah who was: my VERY FIRST friend at Vanguard, then my roomate, and now my neighbor, and co-worker at the high school. wherever I go- she goes and vice versa! Also, my college friend Christine R. who is someone who I have admired since day one and aspire to be like... Neil, who was Kevin's old youth pastor growing up-- this guy has the best relational skills of anyone I know, and makes people feel like a million bucks! And of course, last but not least, my awesome husband Kev, who I LOVE LOVE LOVE! If you knew him you would know all my reasons! :)

My Blog

Kev's writing a paper, and I'm on myspace... TYPICAL!!
