About Me

I just recently graduated from Lee with a BA in Political Science. Due to a series of events, I am now back in Colorado and working in Politics!I love a lot of things, including: music, laughter, watching every single Colorado sport imaginable with my dad, hiking, camping, laughter, God, windy days, riding my bike, movies, crossword puzles, 4-wheelers, photography, my dog Rudy, writing, thunderstorms, reading, and so much more.I've changed a lot in the last couple of years of my life. For example, I now dance (if you've read this About Me before, you know why this is relevant) I eat Mexican food, I enjoy hip hop music, I can go through a day without feeling self-concious, I say "ya'll", I have long hair, I've made a couple mistakes... this list could go on and on. However, some things will never change! I love my friends and I love my family. Windy days in Colorado are still the best type of weather I could image. I sitll believe in God as the most important part of life. I'm still me, just tweeked in certain areas. I'm happy. Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net
