About Me

My name is Tayia. I'm a wife and soon to be mommy. I was born in the same town I live in now; Toledo, Oregon. It's a nice little town, but I'd prefer a little more country living. I am the oldest of 3 girls. My sisters are Stephanie and Samantha. Aaaannnd I live a pretty boring life. I like it that way. I'm not a people person. People get on my nerves and I panic if I'm in a place with lots of them. Even one or two I'm not a fan of. I don't like small talk or the emotions that often come along with others.

Let's talk about what I do love. I love: reading, snow, rain, water, the color of ice tea, Harry Potter stuff, All things Twilight, anything mystical and magical. I like to escape to fantasy worlds. I've recently tried my hand at sewing and I'm loving where that's going. I enjoy craft projects. They help me to relax. I used to coach cheerleading and although I still like it and get excited when it's brought up, the High School drama is too much for me to handle. I'm a much happier and stress free person without it.

Let's see, what else do I like? I love sitting outside and watching nature, just as long as no person can see me. I don't like people. I love fall. It is my absolute favorite season. The crunchy leaves and the smell of the air. Mmm I can smell it now. I am a huge fan of camping and all things that go with it. Campfires, crawdadding, the hotdogs, marshmallows (even though they make me sick) swimming and freezing. Ahh that's the good stuff.

Hrmm, I like poetry, I like to sing, I love photography, I played the flute all through my school years. I was pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I heart to cuddle with my husband. Anything Christmas makes me smile and cheers me up. I think penguins are really cute. Wolves are by far my favorite animal. Not to mention my favorite sci-fi subject, werewolves. The hot ones! :)

I married the man of my dreams on October 18, 2008. It was a small, very personal wedding and I basked in every second of it. My sister, Samantha, and Justin's brother, Josh, officiated the wedding. While my other sister, Stephanie and Justin's best friend Ira were the People of Honor. The weather was awesome. The place was beautiful. And there were maple leaves and pumpkins everywhere. Simply amazing.

I have an absolutely wonderful husband, Justin, but I like to call him my Snuggle Bean, Nuggy and Nuggs. He is the best thing that has happened to me and I love him more than I can describe.

There is soon to be another man in my life. We've decided to call him Jasper Nolan-Lee Perkins. Our little man! We are so excited for him to get here!
