: About Me

I'm a 25 year old stay at home mom. I'm married to the love of my life, the guy I grew up with who lived down the street. He's my best friend and supporter.

I have a beautiful baby boy. He is my only child, and I'm learning how to be both a wife and a mom. So far, I think mom is the hardest! But I love my son; he keeps things interesting with all his mischief already!

I've always wanted to be a writer. I have an agent in poetry and an interested publisher for my fantasy novel. I read whatever I can get my hands on but King and Tolkein are my favorites. I like writing both as an outlet for me and because if one person reads what I write and it helps them in any way, then I have accomplished something.

I worked in a veterinary clinic off and on for several years and know a lot about animals. I also am a certified nursing assistant, trained in both terminal cases and dementia cases. I loved both jobs. But now I stay home with my son and it's the best job I could have.

My passion is ...

my family.

I know too much about ...

what it's like to suffer from bipolar disorder.

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a writer.

My favorite memory ...

is the day my husband asked me to date him.

Why I write ...

to share with others and to make people dream.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

was running the kennel at a vet office.

My best moment ...

was when I said "I Do".

My inspiration ...

is my son's innocence and my husband's love.

Would I wear a pre-owned wedding gown? Of course! And I did - I wore my mother's. There is nothing wrong with wearing a wedding gown that someone else had owned. I have friends who think it's a terrible idea; they believe that if the bride who owned the gown before had bad luck in her marriage, that bad luck will spread to whoever owns the dress. And I've also heard that if you wear a pre-owned gown, the wedding is no longer entirely yours. I don't see how that could be true. It isn't the dress that makes the wedding. The bride and everyone and thing there, the whole show, is what makes a ...
