making sick babies better, living a healthy lifestyle, laughing, kicking soccer balls, improving myself, sweating through the last burpee, learning, exploring, enjoying time with my family and friends, eating avocados, fitting in fun wherever i can, trying to appreciate the small things

pushing myself (athletically and academically), tackling mud runs, being a dedicated member of the clean plate club, arriving fashionably late, solving problems, acing exams, changing diapers (at work! you can let your breath out now), science, math, words with friends, acting silly when it's called for

probably that i'm a tall gal (it wouldn't hurt if you were in the 6'2"+ ballpark so i can wear my heels) ;)... also, people often tell me i'm really easy to talk to and they feel like they've known me forever

1) my family & best buds
2) new learning opportunities
3) sunny summer days by the ocean
4) my nikes and somewhere to use 'em
5) good funnies, laughing, sarcasm, and wit
6) good health to run around & explore the outdoors

nerdy science stuff (the human body, health & disease, the universe), short-term and long-term future goals, my next vacation, why and how things work the way they do, when i'll have the time to get a puppy, and the details and countdown to my next meal, right down to the condiments and beverage selection

-out having dinner & drinks with the ladies
-relaxing at home with a good movie and a glass of wine or a good book and a cup of tea
-at work saving lives and/or listening to the smooth tunes of david allen boucher and snuggling 2 pound preemies :)
