Okay so who really likes talking about themselves in these intros? After spending the last 7 years in the Seattle area I've recently relocated to the Portland area. I'm independent (without being a control freak! lol) I've worked for the same company for the past seven years. I do work a lot but I'm ready to make time for myself and any worthy potentials haha :) I'm silly a lot, love to laugh and have a good time (like everyone else...) but I also have an intelligent, serious, professional side. I'm passionate about most things in life, it's kind of my thing. I've grown to learn that if you're passionate about anything you put your mind to you can't fail. In that journey I've also learned to try to live and love without expectations as sometimes those expectations are actually stumping our real potentials. Ummmm I'm not sure that came out how I meant it to but we'll go with it =) Family's really important to me, so are my friends but I'm definitely someone who keeps a few really close friends rather than having many acquaintances. I'm what I like to call "medium maintenance" lol I obviously like to wear makeup, take care of my hair, I like my manicures and to pamper myself sometimes (cause I can and I work hard!) but that doesn't mean that I can't live without those things or that I'm afraid to get dirty!
