The Larissa Monologues

http://www.larissalmarks.com

Hello, I'm Larissa. I was born and raised on Maui, Hawaii and now live in the majestic City of Angels with my husband. I work as a pastor for college students. My fabulous life is consumed with cooking, laughing too loudly, shopping in thrift stores, gardening, drinking wine, playing a mean game of poker, and exploring new places.

Welcome to my world.
