About Me

Current Location: Close to Modesto, Ca. Home of a pretty awesome mall and a super awesome Forever 21. (2 stories!) But my obsession with online shopping continues.

Current Occupation: A second year agriculture teacher. This means I work a lot. I should also add WEDDING PLANNER because I'm trying to plan my wedding, but I'm not motivated enough and I don't have the time. (Yes, I know the clock is ticking.)

Pet Peeves: I hate when people wear hats indoors. I hate when people smack their lips when eating or slurp their soup. I hate TV's that are on really loud. I hate sagging pants. I hate frumpy shoes. I have to do the dishes right after dinner or I get really grossed out. Dirty laundry skeeves me out. I'm insanely jealous of women who don't have to work to be slender. (I wish I fell in that category- I have a personal trainer and I use Weight Watchers!!!)

Favorite Things: My horse (RIP Tareana :( ). My handsome fiance`. My friends, whom I miss very, very much. Shoes (obviously.) French bulldogs, especially my French bulldog- his name is Kermit. Hunter/jumper horses. Big, fabulous purses. Comfy (yet cute) sweaters with leggings. Tall Uggs on cold days, especially after skiing. (Get over it and don't judge, they keep your feet warm. Don't fight it- just admit that you have them too.)

What I Can't Live Without:  Sunscreen. Perrier water. Benefit Dandelion powder. Sushi. Indian Food. Pad Thai. Beach days. Horses and horseback riding. Fashion and fitness magazines- I have at least 10 subscriptions last time I counted. Online shopping. Hot shoes. Running shoes. Self-tanner. Facebook,

What I Like About Me: This list isn't as long as it should be. I'm working on that. I work my ass off. I try really, really hard- I'm guilty of beating a dead horse. I care a lot about people- almost all people, except for those who refuse to help themselves when they have the resources. I have legs that can tone up really easily if I put in a little bit of work.  I have high standards- for myself and everyone else I meet.

Little known facts: 
-When I go on my honeymoon someday, it had better be to the French Riviera. Just saying. 
-When I was little, I was obsessed with shoes. I still am. My grandfather made me this way, and my grandmother has contributed. 
-I am proud to be a Tri Delta alumnae. I'm a member of the local alumna chapter. The sisters I graduated with are some of my closest friends, and we take trips together at least once a year.
-I used to want to be a marine biologist. I was obsessed with whales and dolphins. I realized I wasn't smart enough to do this when I failed my junior high math class. 
-I am terrified of two things: heights and failure. I do whatever I can to avoid both.
-My favorite meal is my grandfather's chicken and dumplings.
-I have never broken a single bone. But I have been dragged for about 40 feet by my horse. I'm not a wimp (about some things.)
