What I love most about being a girl: Being able to how others that girls are able to do almost anything, INCLUDING their traditional roles.  Women have been given the wonderful gift of nuturing the FUTURE, but their talents aren't necessarily limited to that.
What I hate the most about being a girl: Those who think that a woman's ONLY place is in the kitchen, and those who think that a woman's ONLY place is in the workplace.  Plus the fact that I see other girls around me wasting themselves.   Here's a quote for you: "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion" - Proverbs 22
Favorite Season: Winter...its so cozy.
Favorite trip taken: France, summer of 1998.  Absolutely amazing...the art and pure beauty there still gives me goosebumps.
My favorite place to go to relax: The mountains.  How better to relax than to place yourself in the splendor of God's creation:  nature completely surrounding you, everything serene...the true way to ease the soul.

Favorite Poems and Verses
What is Success?

What is success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3: 5-8
   If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.  Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.  But where there are prophecies, they will cease;  where there are tongues, they will be stilled;  where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.  Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain:  faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13
