ABOUT ME

I live in Seattle, WA with my husband and pet turtle. Living a life that reflects my values is important to me-- buying local, living simply, and nurturing community.

I enjoy getting to know new people and hanging out with old friends. I love seeing and doing new things, but I'm also happy falling into a comfortable routine. I'm equally happy to go out dancing or stay home to play games (favorites are Settlers of Catan and Euchre.) I love to have fun, but I tend toward the serious side, especially when I don't know people that well. Eternal optimist.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live each day with gratitude.
