Favorites
| Favorite Activities | I love watching drama, paranormal and trashy reality series on TV. I practice yoga and love hiking in the woods or at the beach. I read for pleasure for as long as I can stay awake before bed. Music is a passion of mine and I can amateurishly play the saxophone, keyboard and am about to learn to play the flute. Going to concerts is a favorite activity. Above all, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. |
