About Me

I am a quote person. I have so many feelings and emotions that flood my being on a daily basis, but I can never seem to find the right words to express myself, so I turn to the words of others.Who am I? That's a very good question, one that I'm actually still trying to figure out. Until I find the words to describe who I am, I will leave you some quotes...People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. -Salma HayekOne's life is not as fixed as one believes. Surprises may lie in store for you, the unexpected often tends to happen, sometimes bringing in its train the most delightful change in one's life or circumstances. -Elizabeth AstonTo imagine the unimaginable is the highest use of the imagination. -Cynthia OzickI love the light because it shows me the way, but I will endure the darkness because it shows the stars... -Unknown

My Interests

Photography, dancing, working out (though I don't do it nearly enough), drawing, reading, watching movies, hanging out with Rodney and his family, playing with my dogs.

I'd like to meet:

At this point, it's not about who I want to meet so much as building the relationships I currently have. I couldn't ask for a stronger base of people who love me, and I am eternally grateful for that!View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

Music:

I love music! There is little in this world that can comfort me, make me cry, and move me to my very soul the way that music can. I have been very blessed in my life that I know and love so many people who have mastered the art of music in a way that I was never able to.

I love...
Jessi Riese
Mickey Dougherty
Adam Cohen
Gavin DeGraw
Michael Buble
Gosh! Just way to many to think of right now!

Movies:

On of my favorite movies of all time is "Elizabethtown." I love the idea of having it be fate that you be with someone, and no matter what else is going on with your life, knowing, in the end, that you were meant to be with that person.

Television:

When I do watch TV, I usually watch "Mythbusters," "Deadliest Catch," or something on Bravo. I've become just a bit too addicted to these shows! :-P

Books:

My all-time favorites are:
"The Missing Piece" -Shel Silverstein
"The Missing Piece Meets the Big O" -Shel Silverstein
"The Giving Tree" -Shel Silverstein
"Oh! The Places You'll Go!" -Dr. Suess
"The Sneetches" -Dr. Suess

Heroes:

Rodney Miller- My best friend, my rock, and my soon-to-be husband. I am constantly in awe of how amazing he is and how he can love so unconditionally. He is how I strive to be. Dawn Borglund- The strongest, most beautiful woman ever! Father Edward J. Flanagan- He's inspired me to follow my dreams and work my mission, despite the obstacles in my way. Miracles will happen when they need to, all they need is determination and hard work. Jeff Wirth- Who taught me that being an adult has nothing to do with acting grown up and that the world would be a better place if more people would just play from time to time. Ralph Barnes- The best professor I've ever had and a man who taught me to stand up for myself when I believe in something, no matter how scary the opposition seems. Jackie Prinz- A woman who's taught me more about human anatomy than anyone else, and who has taught me that even though we're all the same in flesh and bone, that's no reason to conform.

"The more you know someone, the more you should love them."

I realize that I have been absent in the lives of a lot of my friends as of late, and I am truly sorry for that. Between work, a relationship, and the fact that I live 50 miles away from most of them,...

I think I know why I’m always sad...

I haven't seen Adam in 4 months, I never get to see Crystal and Jody, I haven't seen Dawn in ages, and I think I actually love Rodney so much that it's making him love me less. The only thing I feel l...

Crazy

Sometimes I feel like the craziest person on earth because I can't find a way to control my feelings. I hate that I let my emotions weigh so strongly on me and that they effect my life so much. I some...

I guess you could call them musings...

The more I think about it, the more unhappy I am working at Boystown. I hate the fact that I can love the work I do, and love the organization I work for, but dislike my job so much. It doens't make m...

Depressed :-(

I feel like such a failure. I remember a time when I had everything going for me: I was a good athlete, a great student, smart as all hell, and full of potential. I feel like I've wasted everything I ...

Wrapping things up...

As this year comes to a close, I can't help but think about all the ups and downs of 2007. For every event that caused me pain and sadness, there is another that caused an equal amount of joy, so, all...
