About Me I was born in Spencer, IA on September 29 th, 1984.

About Me That’s me on the left! Santa Clause was actually our neighbor. How nice of him!

Growing Up I started out as a fashion girl. I played Barbies, put on make-up, and wanted to be a princess. I thought I was going to be a model after winning a state junior beauty pageant.

Moving to Kentucky Around high school, my family moved to Louisville, KY. This is a picture of me in front of the house we moved into. I was still into modeling and fashion at this time.

Two Years Ago… Then, sometime during high school I decided that glamour and looks were worthless. Instead of concentrating on that stuff, I learned to be spontaneous and have fun!

This is me today. I am 5’7”, blonde hair, blue eyes, and wouldn’t you like to know lbs.

Hobbies It may sound kind of odd, but one of my hobbies includes gravestone visiting. I have been to Marie Lavue’s grave in New Orleans. I once ripped a pair of jeans sneaking into a cemetery at night.

More Hobbies I am fascinated by life under the sea. I recently got certified in SCUBA. My parents both scuba dive. I took this picture of a jelly fish.

More than a Hobby… Once upon a time, I fell in love with Hamlet. I have been obsessed with writing and reading ever since. I write poetry of my own. However, it usually is angry, sad, or about death.

Defining free time I am also a fan of fantasy. That pretty much covers my favorite movies and books. I love Magic the Gathering and Final Fantasy too.
