I am a lover of all things CCM... and I live in Australia! I love cricket, catching up with friends, going to the movies and watching TV shows. Favourite shows: Monk, Psych, One Tree Hill, Once Upon a Time, Chuck, Parenthood, Being Erica, Eureka and Life on Mars (BBC). I also love to cook and read.
