I am passionate about a lot of things. The culinary arts and baking, history, books, family, friends, people, animals, children, and nature. I love to read and research history. I also love to be outside. Spending time with the people I love is very important to me and I love to share myself with people. I am a very easy going person and enjoy trying new things. I go to renaissance faires and other historical events... its an escape for me. I like to go places and just people watch. You can learn a lot by watching people. Every person has a story and I like to try and figure them out. One of my greatest joys in life is to make people laugh. I love those 15 min laugh sessions were you are basically rolling on the floor and by the time you are done you cant even remember why you were laughing.

Im taking it one day at a time. I am trying to enjoy my life and experience new things. I love to throw parties and plan day trips. I make wedding and special occasion cakes through my own little company. Its not really a company but some day it will be! I like to stop and smell the roses and take joy in the little things. I love Oregon and couldn't see myself living anywhere else right now. I have also fallen in love with the clouds over the last few months.... they have been so beautiful!

How about things I love to do that people say im good at.
Cooking
Baking
Making people laugh
Finding new music
Making friends
Taking care of the people I care about
Doing and saying random things
Telling you useless pieces of information
Reading people

My smile, I smile a lot... I was serving in a cafe a few years ago and this older gentleman told me that I had the most beautiful smile he had ever seen... I was floored and didnt really know what to say... it was very sweet.
