I like anything to do with the outdoors. I like big trucks, fire engines, 4x4s, motorcycles, four-wheelers and horses. I love my friends and my family is important to me, too. I like using my hands to accomplish things. And I like helping others to better themselves. Maybe that's why I can't seem to give up being a fire instructor. But mostly, I like to be able to make people smile about themselves.

Music
Mainly it's country but I'm really open minded and will listen to just about anything. I get bored with one type of music all the time so I just listen to what fits my mood. I'm easy to please. I'll bounce between Jimmy Buffet, to Garth Brooks, to Third Day, to Cross Canadian Ragweed...and sometimes even a little Mozart thrown in to mix things up a bit.

Movies
I really don't care what kind of movie I watch, just as long as I'm surrounded by great friends and family. Add buttered popcorn with extra salt and I'm there!
Ahhh, now we're talking but where do I start? I've read so many incredibly powerful and moving books by so many different authors. My favorite is the one I can't put down, and that can be either a classic or a New York Time's Best Seller.
I believe-
That heroes are the people who do what
has to be done when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.
And I have GREAT admiration for policemen. How you guys do it I don't know. If given the choice, I'd pick out smarting a fire any day compared to facing someone who wants to do me harm. You guys are definitely my heroes!!!
" The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face
is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and
comes up short time and time again; who knows the great enthusiasms; the great
devotions, and spends himself in a worthwhile cause; who, at best, knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I love coloring outside the lines. Even in a serious situation, there is always room to have a little fun. I've been in the fire service for many years, both in suppression and prevention. My Dad is a retired Captain on the Space Shuttle Rescue Team at Edwards AFB. So yeah, it's a family thing. I've chosen to live in the country after having lived the first 25+ years of my life in Southern California. I was born in Orange, California so I'm a genuine OC Gal. But my heart lies in the country. Awhile back I jumped at the chance to make a permanent move to the country and now I'd never trade my small town living for concrete sidewalks ever again.
When I get to take my Chief's helmet off, you'll find me riding my horses, soaking up the sunshine and hanging out with my family and friends. I love homemade music and I'm in heaven if an acoustic guitar is involved, especially a purring 12-string.
My perfect day would be spent outdoors in the warm sunshine, enjoying a bottle of fine red wine, going barefoot wearing jeans and a tank top all the while making memories with those that matter most to me.
I love to entertain, my door is always open and you're welcome to stop on in anytime. I don't believe in strangers, I see them as friends I've yet to meet!
Who I'd like to meet: Absolutely everyone. Everyone has something to give to this world and I'd like to know what makes you special.
