Living a fulfilled life in the mountains with my beautiful family...music, photography, outdoors, movies, cooking & grilling, good summer evening talks on the back deck, spending time with my kids and husband doing the things that we love, learning as much as I can from others and their experiences, traveling, and meeting new people. People are hugely important to me.
Music
I'm constantly reminded of how music is infinitely important and vital to my well being. These are some of my reminders....Elliot Smith, Waterdeep, Barry & Michelle Patterson, Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, Patti Griffin, Indigo Girls, Radiohead, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, Wilco, Ron Sexsmith, Beth Orten, Kevin Rhoads, Ben Harper, Counting Crows, Shawn Colvin, Rufus Wainwright, Gileah and the Ghost Train, David Bazan, The Swell Season, Fleet Foxes and way too many more that I have not enough room for...
Movies
Crash, The Notebook(yes, I got sucked in, too!),Snatch, Love Actually, High Fidelity, The Lord of the Rings, Fight Club, Spanglish, Big Fish, 300, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Life Aquatic, documentaries, anything Wes Anderson, anything that's not too predictable...
Television
is mind rape, in general. Discovery Health or the history channel. Or football.
Books
My husband's book, Son of the Sword! Buy it at Amazon.com! It's awesome! Dean Koontz and Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series.
About me: I have an amazing family of whom I am completely undeserving. They are my everything. All that I do is to try to better life for them and to seek out the peace that I know we are destined to discover and live in. I consider myself no more than a traveler on this journey, seeking my Maker in any way possible, just hanging in there the best I can. Hopefully, from time to time, I will have the opportunity to give someone else a much needed lift as so many have done for me.
well we are thinking either 04/24/2010 or 05/01/2010 that will give me a year to plan once i get back from moldova...i am so excited!!! i miss you, tell everyone hi for me.
tam and eli are coming to see us tomorrow. can't wait to see that little sucker again! i'll take some pictures and send them to you after they leave. miss you guys!
hey there! don't worry, we'll be there, sooner or later! and... OMG your hair! did someone cut it off while you were sleeping?! i'm sure you donated it, right? ok, i feel about this big [obviously holding my fingers about two and a half inches apart] for not calling you! you just wait, you'll be shocked as ever when you see a texas number show up on your phone within the next day... just wait!
Wes needs to branch out. I made Mark read Twilight (and you know how he is with fiction) I'm glad you liked it! Those books are so freaking addictive. I'll warn ya- New Moon is my least favorite but make sure you finish it-it ends better than it begins. When you finish Eclipse, we'll talk ;)
erin, of course...she's the only model i work with! we did a shoot with her for our upcoming website when we were in TN...i'll send you some more of the shots when i get the chance. some of them turned out really nice. on another note...i saw tamara the other day. i run into her in the most random places--this time in DFS at the bank drive-thru the day mom and i were there visiting our accountant.
