I enjoy one-on-one swaps, so if you read my profile and are interested, feel free to send me a message! :D

I always rate upon receiving a card/package, so if you sent yours and I haven't rated, please let me know to make sure I did receive it! Also, I will always send swaps! So please, if you don't receive one from me, let me know before rating!

Warning..I edit my profile often to change it up and add things..it's an always changing project!

I'm a 23 year old girl in a wonderful relationship­, very happy with my husband. We got engaged August of 2008, and got married on February 28, 2009 in Las­ Vegas, Nevada­! My biggest passion is bowling. My husband and I own a business at the bowling alley, we run the Pro Shop where people buy their bowling balls and bowling equipment. Bowling takes up almost all of our life! Haha. My husband and I started our own business in August '08 and purchased our first home in September '08, so needless to say we are VERY busy people! :)

I love cooking, cleaning (yes, that's weird but I do), playing the Wii and XBox 360, texting, listening to my iPod (HUGE Lex & Terry fan), and playing cards (Blackjack and Three Card Poker are my specialties, but I use to rock at Texas Hold 'Em). My husband and I play Halo 3 LIVE on the XBox like it's going out of style! If you want to be friends on there, send me a message! My DVR is probably my favorite thing I own, although my iPod is a VERY close second.

I'm not as crafty as I wish I was, but I do enjoy working on certain crafts! I enjoy crocheting, love paper crafts such as making cards, envelopes, gift tags and stickers.

In May of 2007, I had weightloss surgery. Since then I've lost over 120 pounds and feel much better about life. :) I've lost alot of weight, but I've gained many insecurities along with it, I'm learning to work to overcome those. And like most people, I continue to diet to keep the weight off...trying to eat healthy and exercise!

♥ My Loves ♥ include my husband, he's my best friend...and the 2 kittens we adopted from the SPCA on June 13, 2009. We adopted a female calico cat named Halo and a male grey cat named Haven. We are new pet owners and enjoy spending time with them! But no worries for people with pet allergies (I'm even one of those people! I'm allergic to cat dander, but take medicine), all my swapping is done at my work office, where is it most definitely free of any pets and smoke!

The reason I joined Swap-Bot was to meet people I would never meet. I stay super busy with working and owning a business, but I have free time during the day at my administrative assistant job, and I thought it would be a good way to have relationships (friendship ones ;)) outside of my small town. I'm very open minded and I've been told that I'm a really good friend. I'm loyal and I'm always there for support and friendship.

• I love, love, love to bowl. But not as much as my bowling addicted husband.

• I hate chocolate, ketchup, seafood and hotdogs

• Even though I'm usually blush on the inside, I don't believe many compliments I get.

• I can't stand being nagged.

• I'm one of the nicest people you could ever meet. (Hehe, not to sound conceited, but I'm just a genuinely nice person and love meeting new people.)

• I use exclamations (!!) and parenthesis () way too much! I'm sure it tends to annoy people, but I don't mean for it to!
