About me

Location	Parker, Colorado
Introduction	Sean and I met 9 1/2 years ago, on a 5-day backpacking trip in the Wallowa Mntns. We were both 'extras' on the trip and neither were part of the initial group! We caught eyes immediately, and what ultimately sealed the deal, was that I threw him down and kissed him first! To jump ahead, we were married in 02, spent the next few years finishing school, working, and traveling while Sean played Pro-Basketball. In 2004 we had our first son, Connor, and also had the option to move to Germany for Sean to continue ball, but he changed direction to attend medical school, which is what ultimately led us to St. Louis in 2005. This later led us to the West Indies for Sean's Master's Degree on 2007, and in 08, it led us to Denver. We have been in Colorado ever since! We had our second son, Kade, in March 2009, and our 3rd, Tyce, on March 3rd 2010. Sean is busy with Medical School at RVUCOM and is the Young Men's Athletic Director and is a ward missionary. I am the VP of the SAA Organiz. and am also a ward missionary. Connor is in school, plays basketball and is in swimming lessons. Kade likes to organize drawers, get into the dishwasher, and play with Connor. Tyce just eats and sleeps.
Interests	I love the outdoors and like to get dirty, but I'm still a girly-girl and save time for pampering. I like to play in piles of leaves and go mud sliding. I like white chocolate way more than dark, and I like egg nog and cider way more than hot chocolate. Tulips are my favorite flower and Pakistani food is my favorite food. I love Diet Coke, protein bars, and cookie dough without chocolate chips. I LOVE rolling down hills in the summer with Connor. I like to climb trees, build forts, and ride rollercoasters. I would rather swim in a river or a lake instead of a pool. I like to fish, but usually throw the fish back because I end up feeling bad for hurting them. I am a registered republican but don't vote a straight ticket. I'm politically conservative, but don't believe we should be bound by tradition. I don't believe in fear, only obstacles that make us stronger. I would rather look at a full moon than a sunset. Mountains aren't to look at, they're to climb. And, ultimately, I believe that if I've improved at least one life in my lifetime, then this small span of time I've lived will all be worthwhile! As for Sean, I'll let him fill this out when he gets a chance between classes:) As for Connor, he loves Iron Man, Thomas the Train, books, hockey, his cousins, and french fries.
Favorite movies	Dumb and Dumber, Forest Gump, The Land Before Time, Goonies, Tombstone, Iron Man, Romancing the Stone, The Indiana Jones movies, The Back to the Futures, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, and any war movies. I HATE chick flicks and love a really good action movie. Until Sean changes this, I'll say his favorites are Hoosiers and Braveheart, and a lot of the same ones that I like.
Favorite music	I love 80's (Springstein, Mellancamp, Tom Petty, etc.) and Sean will probably say classic rock (ACDC, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc.).
Favorite books	Sean LOVES to read and I absolutely hate it. Sean could stay up nights at a time reading, and I will only read if I can learn something from it. You won't catch me inside on a sunny afternoon reading a sappy novel.
