CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to exceed all that I can think of. I want to do everything that people usually say they cant do. I am an adventurer ~I want 2 see & learn all I can. My erik and i will travel the world 2gether..

ABOUT ME

Growing up, I never thought I could love anyone as much as I loved my sisters (Jess, Sarah & Mandi) .. then my parents adopted a little boy from Russia, Kirill.. he is my heart. Then came my neices and nephews... Ayla, Gianna, and Julian. I have a weakness for kids, and the 3 of them could not be more amazing. I lived in 10 different states before I was in 4th grade, and I believe that is the reason I have the adventurous spirit that leads me on all my journeys. My parents have been most supportive in my craziness in life, and I love them more than words can explain... the hardest part about being me is .. I am extremely family-oriented, and free-spirited. I am torn b/t home and adventure, and I try my hardest to balance the 2 things that mean the most to me.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live a green life- respect the Earth and all She gives to us... recycle and Dont litter!!! Respect life and everyone around you. Be accepting of people who need help, and be willing to be the person to help. PURA VIDA!!! One of the best quotes I have ever heard is... " in the end, only kindness matters. " soooo true. What you do in kindness rings through to who you are as a person, and it is remembered more than anything else you can ever accomplish in life. Treat everyone as you would like to be treated. IRIE. peace to all!!!!!
