How do I define who I am? I don't know...I'm outgoing but love quiet and solitude. I'm enthusiastic but down to earth (not really the cheerleader type). I love my family (parents, sisters, and the whole crew), but I also love living alone. My apartment in the city suits me perfectly. Let's see...what else? I'm a cat person who also likes dogs. I love children. I like my job, but it's what I do to support myself, not what I love.

All these statements describe me, in a way, but I don't know if they actually tell you who I am. I am...Me. A daughter of God.

Reading, writing, traveling, running, practicing yoga, and anything outdoors. Well, mostly anything outdoors. I especially love camping, canoeing, kayaking, and hiking. And I rarely go anywhere without my journal, a good book, and my scriptures. Makes for a heavy backpack, but it also lets me do what I love, anywhere I go.

I also like music, and I'm learning to sew and quilt. I have to be in the mood for sewing or quilting, though. That mood comes and goes.
