I love getting a suprise in the mail box. I have been pen palling and swapping for many years. I participate in postcrossing from time to time and I am in a few pen pals groups in Facebook. I collect many things and have quite a few hobbies. I am interested in doing private swaps so please contact me. I truly try to send people swaps that I would be happy to receive.

My favorite music includes: 80's rock, current top 40's and country. Some of my favorites include Bryan Adams, Heart, Pink, Lady Antebellum, NKOTB, Miranda Lambert, Little BigTown, One Republic, Matchbox 20, Kelly Clarkson,etc.

My favorite books include: the Twilight series, The Host, the Hunger Games series, Dark Hunter series, Sookie Stackhouse series, Hush, Hush series, anything from Nicholas Sparks, Anne Rice, Maeve Binchy, Cecilia Ahern, etc.

My favorite movies are comedies, chick flicks and some dramas. Some of them include:27 Dresses, Sixteen Candles, A Walk to Remember, Wedding Planner, the Twilight movies, the Hunger Game movie.
