I love to cook. I love feeding my friends. I don't have a favorite food my self. It is hard to narrow it down. I guess I am a cheese lover. The words too much cheese do not have any meaning to me.

I love having unique clothing. I sew some dresses for my self in holiday fabric. I hate sewing but I love having the finished product. I hate to clean. I am a pack rat. This is definatly a trait I inherited from my mom. Mom would definatly disagree with me, unless she heard my reasoning, which she will never do. See my mom is a neet freek. She and I had many a wars regarding the "sty" that I called my room. She however inherited her neetness from my nana who was a pack rat like me. Mom rebelled and went the opposite way. Why shouldn't I? She never understood that. She kept saying she would have given anything to live in a clean and tidy house. I would have given anything to leave my room the way I liked it.

I fancy my self an amature photographer and fiction writer. I have poems from when I was in school (ok who doesn't?!) some of them are pretty good. While in High School I won an award at the local frame shop for a black and white print of a rose. I loved the print because it was so unique, it made me think in a whole new direction. It started out as an accident. I put the paper under the enlarger upside-down to try to position it to print the rose. The light was so bright that it printed backwards. When I turned it over and printed on the front I had a double exposer that was incredible. I won third place. They said it was because it was a flower, an over used medium, that I took third. I still have it hanging in my craft room.

I love taking long walks on the beach, usally I am alone. It is a great place to be alone with my thoughts. Often when I am confused or lost, I will go to the beach to sort my thoughts out. I hate the beach in the summer though. To me the beach is not a place to meet guys or to "pose". It is a centerer. But I realize that I am probably alone in this thought.

I am a fall person. I love everything to do with Autum. The trees turn colors, the bugs disappear. The nights get cool but the days are still warm. It is sweater weather. Flannel weather! It is time for new notebooks and new beginings. I look best in the colors that Fall provide.

I am a true believer in God! God has saved my life more times than I can count and has kept me going in times I would have rather not. He brought me my husband. The summer we met, my husband had plans to work in Massachussets with his brother. After that, he had plans to attend college there. When the job with his brother fell through, he applied at the local amusement park. Right after my 16th birthday I was hired. My first day. I was asked to work a double, a twelve hour day, at which point I would be given an hour for lunch. Glenn came and gave me my break. Being young and new to the park, I went back to visit with the cute guy who gave me my break. It was on the Carousel. When the hour was over Glenn left to do other breaks. He later told me that he thought as he was leaving "That girl is weird, I am going to have to stay away from her!" Little did he know that neither God or I would let that happen. Things went on. Glenn just couldn't get away from me. Just when he decided he could live with a little weird, his college plans fell though. See he decided that this would just be a summer thing, and soon he would be of to college. Once he found out he wouldn't be attending college out of state, he took the relationship a bit more seriously. Looking back it seems so set up! I regret not having any more experience with guys. I tried on a number of occasions to break up with Glenn, just to be able to experience life more, but one thought kept hitting me in the head, "You have the man you are going to marry, Why break up with him just so you can be ignored by guys or have your heart broken by them." God decided that we would be together, who am I to argue? God has been a guiding factor in a lot of my life. I am glad He was there. He was there even before I was saved. Durring school, I suffered from depression. There were a number of times when I would be starting at a bottle of pills or a razor and think this has got to be better. God always talked me out of it.

God also gave me musical talent. I play the trumpet and the saxaphone. This kept me involved. I was in the marching band in High School. While I made no close best friend type people, I had many friends. I believe that God put us here for a reason. I had no idea what that reason was. Being on the internet I think I have an idea that I can live with. Originally I though we were here to help each other. This thought seemed kind of round. We were put here to help the people who were put here to help people who were put here... you get my point. Now I am thinking a little differntly. My friend Guidinggirl has an eating disorder. She is helping Angel. She met Angel on the web. I am starting to think that we are here to grow, by helping each other. See, Guidinggirl learned what her eating disorder did to her and can do. If she can impart that information to another, to help her stop either before she starts, or to stop before she goes to far, the information will have helped. I don't think I am making my self clear. Let me try a new example. I was forced to diet when I was young. If I can reach people so this doesn't happen again, we will have grown. Kind of like finding the cure for polio. By the spreading of information we can solve problems and over come them. When we get to the point where we are spreading all kinds of information and we know so much that things are always happy and good because we all know what to do to avoid the bad in our lives, we will have full filled our destiny.

God is such an intergal part of my life. I have such a personal relationship with Him. I do not like having a face to face conversation about my faith. When I do I feel naked. It is very difficult for me. I know that I need to go out and spread His word. I find this to be a nice alternative. God does not want you to be fancy in your faith. All He wants is for you to accept Him as your Lord and Savior. He wants you to believe that the only way to Heaven is to accept the work that Jesus did on the Cross. All the work is done. He gave the life of his only begotten Son, so that he that believeth on Him should not die but have everlasting life. I hold on to that quote with all of my might and all of my faith. Please believe that. Once of my other favorite quotes comes from a bumper sticker. I can't remember the exact quote but it was a warning that when the second comming came the car the person would be driving would be suddenly with out a driver.

I know that God, and what you believe is a personal choice. God made it that way. I am not telling you what to believe. I am telling you what I believe to be true. Please feel free to question your own beliefs and do some research to come to your own conclusions.
