I was born in Arizona and have lived here my entire life. I live with my husband and two dogs. My dogs are called Duke and Bonnie. I love to read, write, go out with friends, ride horses, and do many outdoor activities. Since it is summer I am looking forward to swimming, camping, fishing, and bike rides. I will soon be returning to college. I am going to finish my major in Journalism. I want to improve my skills in Japanese as well. After college, I want to travel to Nipon and teach English while I learn about the beauty and culture there. I am very excited to make friends while learning Japanese and teaching English. I am just a self taught beginner so far. I have been building my vocabulary, working with Rosetta Stone and some other programs and have just begun learning kanji.
