about

Hello, I'm Alma. Most of you know me as Crystal (my birth name). But for those of you who don't know, Alma is my middle name (a gift from my great grandmother - bless her heart). I've always been a bit bashful about it, but it has really started to grow on me. And, I don't know anyone else named Alma, which is kind of nice.

A little bit about myself: I have somewhat of a disposition (perhaps obsession) of living my life unconventionally (ask any one of my friends or family members). I used to think this was a shortcoming of mine, but I've learned to embrace it. I'm 29 years old. I'm not married (not even close); I don't have any kids (yet); and I don't particularly fancy living in any one place for very long. I love traveling and meeting new people. I love exploring and discovering new places, ideas, and more about myself (maybe someday I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up); always a learning process. But right now I am content with my freedom and feel blessed to have had so many wonderful opportunities thrown my way, which, thankfully I have been able to take advantage of. Life should be an adventure, and I find that living in different places and (gasp) not always having a plan affords me this wonderful luxury. I am an optimistic at heart and always seek to find the good in most situations.

Of course someday I would like to "settle down" and have a family of my own - a rug-rat or two, if you will - but until then, I am captivated by the idea of living a somewhat bohemian lifestyle and am loving every minute of it. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you. Thanks for stopping by.
