I am here for Friends

About Me

HI!! My name is Amanda, but most of my friends call me Mandie , so whichever you prefer. I am from the heart of the Great Smoky Mtns, smack dab in the middle of God's Country. Now you can find me in Seattle, WA at my first duty station.. These past few months have been some of the most defining of my life. I just finished basic training with the US Coast Guard & am so proud to be a Coastie!! ( Juliet 181!! ) I am an EMT-Intermediate & saving lives is my calling. I have the most amazing man in my life, we have had our ups and downs over the years & its taken us 3 1/2 yrs to get to where we are today, but were finally at the same place at the same time in life & couldnt be happier. I have the love of my life & could not ask for someone more amazing. I am very straightforward about every thing, I dont believe life comes sugar coated & so I dont approach it that way. I love the small things in life & I am def a country girl at heart. Im not perfect & Im not always right, I screw up everyday & sometimes I trip over my own 2 feet. But I am who I am & I like it that way. Anything else you wanna know....just ask.....(PS..please pardon the URL, I didnt realize when I made it at 18 that I could never change it)..... real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
How I made my profile:
I used Dave & Jay's amazing myspace editor .
