People watching, working out, being in the sunshine, going for long walks, going to the lake, boating, playing with puppies, going to movies, shopping, trying new things, going to church, exploring the Twin Cities, traveling, palm trees, taking pictures, and blogging.  I also just love talking to other people, hearing their stories and trying to build perspective and gain wisdom-- meeting new people is one of my favorite things to do.


What is the most adventurous thing you've done?
I studied fashion in the UK at the London College of Fashion for a semester and lived in a hotel type of thing on my own.  I survived on about 7 shirts, 2 skirts, 5 dresses, and 1 pair of jeans for the entire 4 months-- that was an adventure in itself.
