I'm 5'7 and your typical girl next door. I love movies and music. I'm a junior at Carroll College in Waukesha majoring in music performance. Anything more you wanna know about me, just ask!.

I'm 43, on the brink of divorce, two daughters. I like to read, watch movies, check out new restaurants, I also like to cook/bake. I bowl one night a week. I like people, but I'm a little shy. I always look for the good in people, always thinking postively. Not always easy. I was in the Air Force for 13 years, got out due to cutbacks, still very patriotic, married an Air Force guy, who is now retired. I'll add more later.

I am a senior at Western Carolina University. My major is Chemistry and from there who knows,I drive a 2000 black Mercury Cougar. I have four cats, a lizard, and two fish that I absolutely adore. 80's music makes me happy. I collect dragons and at one time, beanie babies. Jewelry is the way to my heart. I like to just hang around with friends and watch movies and talk. I am a realist, but I like to dream.

I am a Christian woman who is very happily married to an amazing Christian man. Together we are serving God in Pine Bluff, AR at The Salvation Army. We are called by God to be ministers of His Word, and will begin our training to become such in August 2008. (hopefully!) I play the trumpet/cornet, cello and I sing.

I am a christian and a huge fan of James O'Barr and "The Crow".

I'm a down to earth guy. I enjoy people who are themselves and people that have a good sense of humor. I enjoy life, and I enjoy laughing. I believe you should have fun in life, and lighten up on the things you can't change or control. Life comes with hurts and pain attached. Some days you laugh, others you cry, just take them one at a time.
