Instead of giving you a chronological account of the various deeds and misdeeds of my ecclectic life, or listing my questionable accomplishments, I prefer to share with you some of my favorite quotes. For those of you who would like some real details about me, stay tuned to the end, I might just go all chronological on you after all, but be careful what you wish for!

Ok, here goes. About me, I am definitely a foodie - I graduated from the Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 2001 and I worked at some glamorous restaurants in Phoenix and on the Las Vegas Strip before opening the slightly-less-glamorous yet popular Broken Arrow Restaurant in Mt. Carmel, Utah. BAR is open only during the warmer months, so in past winters I returned to university and finished a philosophy and english degree. This winter I'm focusing on writing and also attending EMT classes.
I train and ride pleasure horses and play cowgirl now and then. I come from a rodeo family - my dad was a bullrider and my mom was a rodeo queen, now they own and operate the Arrowhead Country Inn in Mt. Carmel.
Aside from that, I studied for a semester in Bristol, UK, one of the best adventures of my life so far - tied for first with the 10 day, 400 mile, 800 cow, Heaton family cattle drive I worked this fall. Looking forward to some more adventures!
