About Me.
I'm from a lakeside town in Sheboygan Wisconsin. My favorite physical activities are running and weight lifting. I ran track and cross country in high school, a weight lifting class also in high school even breaking a record for girls. In college I took a class on rock climbing and it was one of the best things I ever did. I aspire to run a half marathon one day.
In my down time I visit the kids I used to babysit, hang out with my boyfriend and my cat, and experiment with cooking. I like to believe I've perfected the medium rare steak.
