I love Cubs baseball, watersports, snowskiing, snowboarding, sleeping in, leaving the windows open, cooking, traveling, spending time with my friends, swimming in the ocean, funny commercials, and the color blue.

I grew up on a farm and loved it. I've traveled to a lot of places and loved it. There are still a lot of places I want to see, but I'll always come back home, eventually.

I sleep in the middle of the bed, squeeze the toothpaste from the center of the tube, constantly wonder where my keys are, and drive too fast - but no one's perfect.

I like to laugh and like to make others laugh too (note the Halloween costume). I'm pretty good at seeing the humor in every situation, even when maybe I shouldn't. I'm a roll with the punches sort of girl. I don't see much point in sweating the small stuff. I can also be pretty blunt... so brace yourself.

I believe people should be equals in a relationship, but I still get a kick out of it when a guy opens the door for me or sends me flowers.

As far as music goes, I will listen to just about anything. Except the screaming stuff, that I do not like. Lately some of my favorites have been the Ducky Boys, Zac Brown Band, Raconteurs, and the Format.
