: About Me

To define me, Ana Grimh, is to incorporate a broad spectrum of adjectives. Using only responsible, creative, outgoing, and soft-hearted would not be sufficient. Nor does it suffice to add a few more, such as humorous, determined, and witty. There is a great multitude of describing words that fit my personality.

I currently reside in Virginia, near Naval Station Norfolk, because my husband is in the Navy. I have only been living here for 3 months; I moved after our wedding in December. We had been maintaining a long distance relationship for 2 loooooong years and I felt it was best to start married life off together. I withdrew from the University of WI-Madison and will be attending a community college this summer to complete my associate's degree (& a couple certificates). After my husband finishes with the military, we will move back and I will complete my bachelor's degree at the UW.

Hobbies of mine include music (performing, writing, etc), reading (mostly fantasy but I'm a sucker for a good romance novel or mystery book), creative writing, and running. I love talking and keeping in touch with friends.
