CURRENT MISSION

I want to get the most out of life, and each day is a gift to unwrap and experience in full.

ABOUT ME

I basically just try to live life every day. I love to enjoy the small things. I can be spontaneous at times. I love making things, so I consider myself to be creative. I'm optimistic, yet logical. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh, even at myself...actually, mostly at myself. I like to be given challenges because I'm a very competitive person, but I'm a good sport. I like to "geek out" on occasion to certain topics. I can be very sarcastic around my good friends. Meeting new people is something I can't avoid. I can be insanely quirky. I am most likely a grammar nazi. I can curse like a sailor at any given opportunity. I will wear flip flops in the snow. I love to dress up for costume parties and always try to out-do previous attires. I like to cook, and I'll try anything once, whether it be food or some other kind of adventure. Fresh rain is my favorite smell.

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day to make yourself happy. That's all you can really ask for.

Interests

Walking, tossing around a frisbee, laughing, exploring, reading, playing trivia, travelling, talking, cooking, going to concerts, stargazing, playing board or video games... I'm content doing just about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved out to Colorado in 2008 because of the beautiful mountains. They are a sight I enjoy seeing every day, and I don't think I could ever take them for granted.
