Hello. I am Amanda :) I am 25 years old and a graduate of Northern Arizona University. I majored in Environmental Engineering with a minor in Chemistry. I am not working as an engineer, but that is okay. All things come in good time. I got married last year and have so far been loving my life here in Colorado. There is so much in this world that I would like to experience, I only hope that I can find the time. I suppose there are many more facets to my life but who is to determine what is important and what is not. I'm sure I will find out much more about me soon. I have decided that I should stop worrying about the things I cannot control and learn to accept the beauty in all things.
