I do have a reference! It is on my husband's CS profile though, Ian Tuten. Well, for a little more about me: I have lived a lot of places growing up and on average I started at a new school every 1.5 years for 19 years. It was tough but it shaped me into the person I am today and I do believe I'm a pretty neat gal with a lot of heart and a lot of quirk! I got my B.A. in International Affairs (with minors in German Language and Culture, Political Science, and History) but I am outdoorsy by nature. I love nature and I also love to paint!!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
ONE?! HAHAHAHHAHA you've got to be kidding me how in the world do I pick just one?!?!?! Well, OK For one year, I toured the country multiple times in a metal sort of, heavier rock band, played close to a hundred shows in front of thousands of people. and I had no hair. ONE MORE THING is I learned to play the bagpipes and did so for a handful ofyears! (but not in the metal band)
