I'm also going to school working my way towards my BA in Criminal Justice Administration. I enjoy arts & crafts and rubber stamping. I like antiquing and am pretty much an outdoorsy type. I enjoy camping, fishing, biking and long, scenic walks or drives. I don't even mind yard work on a nice day.


I'm into tourist attractions like the Art, Science, History and City Museums, the Zoo, Grant's Farm, Anheiser Busch, Main Street St. Charles, Grafton etc.

I like going to flea markets and yard sales and love a fair or picnic on a nice day.

I also love hot rods and classic cars...always up for a car show at Chuck A Burger. I like baseball (Cardinals World Series Champs Baby!)

Click to Visit
and hockey better than football and basketball but not against watching a game.

Click to Visit
Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter in that order. My favorite colors are blue and green. I have a dog named Rusty and a cat named Sugar...they were both strays. (I have a soft spot for cute things that follow me home ;o)



I love Mexican and Italian food and can tear up a Chinese buffet any day but am pretty much a steak and potato kinda girl. I think I'm a pretty good cook but hate to cook for just myself. It's more fun sharing.

I have a goofy side to me, kinda corny sometimes and a great sense of humor. I do have a serious side though, good morals, completely honest and trustworthy....

A little old fashioned maybe...for instance: I can't stand it when a man wears a baseball cap into a restaurant (big turn-off)or when people blow their nose at the dinner table. Ick!

Never give an excuse other than the truth and never do anything you are ashamed to admit to or will regret later.

Other than that....I'm open-minded, bold and generally a pretty laid back person.
