Be kind to me or treat me mean, I'll make the most of it Im an extraordinary machine.

About Me

I believe that life is too short to waste time wishing- time is better spent doing. I love to learn, experience new things, and make the most of every situation. I think a little perspective goes a long way in life, and I use it as often as possible.

I have the most wonderful husband/best friend in the world, and I love my family above all else. I have a genuine respect for all life. Someday, I will open an animal sanctuary in here in northern Colorado. Until then, I plan to continue learning, training, and challenging myself in the martial arts.

My Interests

I love to get outside! Camping, hiking, snake hunting (catch and release, of course), and scuba diving, are all favorite pastimes. I also have a passion for art, I enjoy sketching and writing when inspiration finds me.

I live for training in the martial arts. Ive got my black belt in Kajukenbo, blue belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and I am undefeated in Kickboxing (so far!)... I love to do it all!

My favorite activity? I love to see live MMA fights! I really look forward to these events not only for the fights, but because it is usually an opportuntiy for a date night with my man, which often involves getting dressed up and eating my favorite food- SUSHI!
