: About Me

I am a 25 year old college graduate from Missouri, who currently cares for my Grandmother who has Alzheimers. I spend the majority of my free time writing, as it is an outlet for the daily frustrations associated with Alzheimers caregiving.

I have been married for almost 2 years and have a beautiful stepdaughter who is 9. I also co-exist with 2 cats, who teach me the outer limits of my patience nearly every day.

My passion is ...

trying to become a better person every day.

was at a movie theater, and somehow I caught the popcorn popper on fire within the first 4 hours.

My best moment ...

hasn't shown up yet.

My inspiration ...

is in the odd things that happen to me every day.
