About Me

Molly & I both love giraffes!
Our lil princess
I AM RIGHT WHERE I WAS MEANT TO BE IN LIFE
I am 27 years old. I am married to Trever (my prince charming) who is coincidentally just six hours older than me. I guess you would say we are high-school sweethearts. We have ALWAYS been attached-at-the-hip, even after being married for five years and together for nine. He is my match.
I am a stay-at-home Mommy. We have the most precious and beautiful (nearly five year old) daughter named Molly. She is pure sunshine in our lives. Trever and I feel so absolutely fortunate to have such an amazing daughter. She is in Preschool, swimming, Sunday school (same church TC grew up in), soccer & now dance. She does tap, ballet & jazz. She’s an angel!! Molly is very outgoing, sweet & hilarious. She's also learning how to skateboard & play guitar. She is miss popular at her school (as the other moms tell us)... she is just a precious little girl. We want to have more children & are trying really hard, but we figure when its meant to happen - it will.
We live in Shoreview in a cute 4-bedroom home. It is adorable. We really love it. TC and I have always had our hearts set on raising a family here cause this is where Trev grew up. I was raised in St.Anthony Village so most of our friends and family live nearby. My Mother-in-law lives about 2 miles away and she’s cool so it’s all good. I love love love having our friends over for grilling and outside parties!! I am passionate about decorating so I like my home to be comfy and beautiful. Also, we have two (tubby) cats named Carmen & Skyler who are nine years old now.
Trev and I like to keep things mellow like going out for dinner/movie, ACME, or out with our friends. I have to keep things short and sweet because my health is still an issue but its all good. TC has gotten really tight with my brother (Jeff) and sister (Sammy). Jeff and I have always been extremely close and we share the same friends so it’s perfect. Trev plays on a bowling league with my two knucklehead siblings. And then during the summer he goes paint-balling with my brother and all our friends. ;o)
I am a country girl at heart. My greatest joys are being with my family and friends...my daughter and husband are on the top of my list. I love spontaneity. I don’t like routine. I get bored easily so it’s
like I have ADD or something (lol). I enjoy reading, traveling (especially to my cabin), & drawing.
But mostly just being with my friends. I am a social butterfly.
I love to learn about anything & everything. I live in the moment.
I try hard not to have regrets. But I naturally still do.
I can be passionate & sometimes stubborn person. Okay, I’m
REALLY stubborn (as my fam says) but only when it comes
to wanting to do things MY way. HAHA. But I’m also laid back.
I like to think that I can hang with almost anyone. I mean most of my
friends are polar opposites so that’s gotta mean something?!
I love hanging w/ people who are able to laugh at themselves
and have a good time. Nothing ticks me off more than a person
who is judgmental. I'm crazy open-minded about any subject because
I feel it is ignorant NOT to be. How do we learn & grow if the only
perception we have is thru our own looking glass?
I embrace change because I feel it's an important tool in
helping us grow stronger and wiser. I freakin LOVE movies!!
My fave flicks are…
Apocalypto. Cold Mountain. Gangs of New York. Raising Helen.
and can't forget my...Alfie.
My fave artists are Billie Holiday, Incubus, John Legend. sorta random but LOVE them!!
I consider myself very spiritual. I believe in angels, reincarnation, and karma. I am one of those people who believe that ever region of the world needs a "religious" figure based on their cultures so I'm very open-minded about that stuff. In my opinion, as long as your a good person - that's all that matters.
Forgiveness for me is a way of life.
FORGIVENESS is about "letting go of the fact that you can not
change the past”. Mistakes are there for a reason
and that reason is to prosper spiritually and intellectually as a person.

Hobbies:

INTERIOR DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY
ARE MY PASSIONS!!
I'm obsessed with capturing
memories!
I think photography is so
important especially as
as mother. Molly's birth
inspired me to
photograph her journey.
Along the way I just fell in love
with it so now I'm addicted.
My interest is growing in
finding more ways of capturing
the moments in nature.
I love scenic.

This is it kids! The Ford Mustang I have been fantasizing about FOREVER!

LUVVVV JULIAN MCMAHON!!!

Milo Ventimiglia - oh baby!! LUV the way he talks. OBSESSED w/ HIM & Heroes.



YOU BOTH ARE MY TOUCH-STONES....
You both are the reason I kept hope alive during
the struggles w/ my health. I am unbelievably
PROUD that you are my husband & best friend.
You have always put us first for everything! I am grateful & blessed.
You both have always been my inspiration.
I couldn't have asked for a better person to grow old with
or a more loving father for our daughter.
You have always been HOME to me.
We may have had struggles with my health but
we couldn't have gotten thru it without eachother.
The day she was born, was the day
our worlds changed. Just like they say it does but
even better. Sweet pea is the love of our lives.
Everyone that knows her knows that HER
precious smile lights up every room she walks into.
She is simply beautiful. The most precious child.

Heroes:

The heroes in my life are my daughter and husband. Also, my precious family and friends have all been there for me. In many ways everyone that I love is a hero to me. I feel that by just being the most awsome person you can be - even with struggles makes you beautiful. I THANK GOD for my family and close friends!!
WORLD HEROES.... When considering what is a hero, I don't necessarily believe that we should only catagorize it for those who would/have face death to save another because we meet heroes every day of our lives. They are our neighbors, friends, or family. Sometimes "heroes" are suttle in their efforts, but over time you see the impact they've made. In personal lives we all cross paths, at one point, with someone who was able to overcome extreme challenges in their lives and the heroism in the way they delt with that struggle can be inspirational. I find myself most often viewing heroes as being selfless contributers to our communities & the world that in effect create change for the good of everyone.
Some of my heroes are - Oprah. Dahlia Lama. Gandhi. Holocaust victims. Bill O-Reilly. Angelina Jolie. Martin Luther King, jr. Marilyn Monroe. Nelson Mandela. US Soldiers.Mattie Stepanek
