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 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!)

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

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.

My Mom.....sounds cheesy I know but my dad died when I was 11 years old leaving her,at age 34 with three children to raise - 7, 8 and 11 years old. It was a tough road but she did it without anyone's help and she did a damn good job too.
My friends, family, anyone in uniform and the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who serve(d) to keep me safe and free!
