I'm Lauren - a wife, a baby on the way, wants to be a part of something larger than myself.

I have a husband, a cat named Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Anastasia Nickolaevna Romanova of Russia and a mini Aussie shepherd named Molly, who we call Stinky Puppy.

I play the trumpet and guitar. I love reading, psychology, philosophy, media, libertarianism and Catholicism.

My favorite is a good bluesy-rock.

Chicago, Eric Clapton, Kings of Leon, The Weepies, The Shins, The Black Keys, Gotye, Fun, Macklemore, Imagine Dragons

I like literary fiction, YA books, chick-lit, and non-fiction in the areas of self-help, psychology, memoirs, Catholicism and libertarian politics.
