For my mom and dad ~ I love you both and miss you guys very much :(

I’m a down-to-eart​h girl, who loves to help people.  My sense of humour can best be described as quirky and sometimes risqué.  I am a very social person who loves spending quality time with family and friends.  I have a positive outlook on life and believe that the best moments are just around the corner.  I’m good at listening to people, and I’m the type of person who’s always there for people when they need me.

I like to keep busy with work, but I don’t usually have much trouble finding time to relax and having a good time.  I generally like to keep in shape by exercising—I​ go to the gym at least a few times a week, I love to go biking, and I love being outdoors.

I love to travel--ther​e's nothing I like better than visiting new places and seeing new sites but the one place I love best is here where I get to be with people I know and places that look familiar.  I also love being outdoors, and whenever I have free time I spend it outside (even though the luck we've been having with these winters weren't the best), there's no other place I'd rather be.

I am a little shy at first, not trying to throw you off, but that’s the truth.  I know what I want out of life and I’m definitely a stickler for getting things done, so I hope ambition is a good trait.  I tend to have a serious side, but I know how to just let nature take its course.

First and foremost, GUYS: Please do not send me messages looking for a gf or whatever--I have found someone and he's the most special person and he means the world to me.  So, men, once again--I am only looking for friends: no more messages looking for something more because I will block and delete you.

Just looking for good friends from everywhere, male or female.  Looking for honest and good-hearted​ people.

Please DO NOT add me as a friend if we've never spoken before--I would like to know the person first.  Take the time to look at my profile first--I will NOT accept your friend requests if we have NEVER spoken.

And no more messages requesting my msn--especia​lly on a first message.  Geez, you think you're honestly gonna get a response from me??  I'm just gonna block you, so no chat requests and solicitation​s of any kind--you will be blocked.  So, save your time and move along to the next one.  There has to be some decent people not looking for a quick fix.

My interests include:
Spending time with family and friends
Hiking
Reading
Travellling
Going for long walks
Watching the sunset
Listening to music
Staying inside and watching a good movie
Horse-back riding
Writing poetry and short stories
Curling up with a good book (especially whenever the weather is uncooperativ​e)
Playing tennis
Being outdoors
Learning new languages
Going for long bike rides
Going out on the town and checking what's out there

You name it and there's a good chance I like it. Just love all types of music in general--cla​ssical, 80's music and pop/rock have been staples throughout my life.

There are too many to list, but the top ones:

Miss Congeniality​
Shall We Dance
Pretty Woman

House

Private Practice

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass ~ it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Always be yourself, because the people who mind don't matter, and the people that matter don't mind.

You may close your eyes to things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to what you feel.

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments that took your breath away.

Live for today, because yesterday is over and tomorrow may never come.

The best things in life are unseen, that's why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry and dream.
