About Me

My name is Tara Lou...and yes, that is my real name. I have finally embraced it's nerdiness! :) I am from Idaho Falls but am going to school in the big city of Seattle! I love both of my "worlds" and am just blessed with great friends and family in both places. My life is like the quote in "Sweet Home Alabama"...when Reese Witherspoon says, "I love it up there, but then I come back here, and this fits too." However, now I am in another "world." I am studying abroad in Uganda until December 19. I am really excited to live in another culture and experience a completely different way of living! -Share and Get Free Layouts @ LayoutShare.com - ..

Music:

Oh I am definitely a country girl!! And, I LOVE Keith Urban. He is just incredibly gorgeous! Ahhh.... I also like Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, and Sugarland. But, I will pretty much listen to anything besides rap and scary screaming music.

Movies:

I love to laugh...so just give me a good comedy! Oh and can't forget the chick flicks of course.

Television:

Well t.v. is a good excuse not to study, right? I love "Grey's Anatomy." Predictable, I know. But, oh so good. I also like to watch VH1 shows and CMT videos. Whatev.

Books:

I love to read...I definitely don't read for fun enough though. Damn college! Who invented text books!?

Heroes:

I seriously love my parents!! My mom is easily my best friend...and my dad means everything to me. I am thankful for them and honestly don't know where I would be without their love, support, and laughter!
