About Me

Hi! I work in the technology division at EMU. I'm a computer geek by training and interest. I currently live in Ypsi and hope to move to Chicago, Atlanta, or Toronto, or some other cool city soon.

My life is pretty normal. I have a job, a home, a boyfriend of seven years, and three cats. I like all kinds of music and movies. I'm always looking to make new friends. So, add me if you like and if you have anything else you'd like to know about me, hit me up.

These are my girls....Frosty, Loki and Squiggy (L-R)

Here is my dog, Brutus. He was a stray that we took in and he's turned out to be just about the perfect pet even if he does weigh in at 105 lbs.
I love this tree...It was like this all during our trip to BG in Nov 2005.
