Random fact: I've gone against everything you are ever taught about the internet and flew out to Florida last year to meet Jessie and her husband, and stay at their house with their dogs. Was probably a stupid risk to take, but I'm still alive and going back this year.

Obviously not taken by me:
Rosey and I


My <3 Rascal (passed away Feb. 4th) and I. SO glad I went ahead and got these done last year. Never thought I'd be this glad.

Interests: DISNEY!!!!!!
Favorite music: Country. I really like a bit of everything... if anyone ever looked at my ipod they would have me committed thinking I had multiple personalities lol.
Favorite book: Gosh I don't know. I'm the kind of person that reads a book once and then move on to the next one but I've always had a soft spot for Charlotte's Web... yes I know that's a kids book
Favorite quote: Just about any Walt Disney quote. there are so many good ones. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible"

Random fact: I am a 5 year old trapped in a 30 year old body lol. I love to play with toys, play games, play on playground equipment etc etc. That's why I like Disney so much... it's the one place I can act like a child and no one notices. In the real world I get a lot of strange looks lol





I can't find a photo of the dogs at the moment lol I need a better system for organizing all my photos
