A little about Me (no pun intended)

I am someone who…
- would rather walk or bike than drive all summer
- loves to be creative, but needs to be creative on her own terms, in her own time
- hoped that she would have 2 or 3 kids by now…and one on the way
- loves to read, write and doesn’t mind public speaking…pretty much anything to do with words is great
- enjoyed math and science and English in high school MUCH more than history
- loves to smell good…like Bath & Body Works soap and lotion…mmm…
- enjoys colourful clothing…in a tasteful, moderate way
- is not sure that she remembers how to just sit and waste a day in front of the tv…
- loves rivers and nature
- used to tell stories to her friends and brother, just to see if they would believe her…they usually would
- loves a clean house
- can’t imagine life without my husband
- isn’t sure how excitement and nervousness is supposed to mix
- likes to think about big questions…and talk about them once they’re thought through
