I am a wife and mother of 2 beautiful daughters. We are currently undergoing our 4th deployment to the Persian Gulf while married. Originally, I was born and raised in San Diego where I worked as a Government Contractor for 10 years. That life was interrupted when I met and married my husband, so we now move where ever and when ever the government decides to send us. This usually occurs just before they get word that the dust is settling on our household goods or I finally get that last box unpacked. Back to back orders in the same place? Does that really happen?I like being outdoors- Enjoy all aspects- the water, snow, desert, mountains, and just being active and in nature.I still drive like a Californian, though I had to trade in my sports car. Let me tell you, its hard to channel my inner Steve McQueen inside a clown car full of kid related dangling objects. I have a very competitive side but usually it's just with myself (sure it is). I have a deep rooted appreciation for animals as they have always been a part of my life.I enjoy roadtrips to new destinations and visiting historical and archaelogical sites. I want to see all of the world I can see in the short time we are given! I am pretty easy going though like everyone else have my "moments". Then the irish/german mix comes out! I am a giver almost to a fault, and grumble when my house and my life are not in order. Having two kids under the age of four and a husband constantly gone have definitely put my organization skills to the test (and sadly I feel I am failing miserably)My love for my family knows no end, utter adoration and constant awe of our daughters and their accomplishments, respect and pride for my husband, our country, and all of those who serve. I will ALWAYS thank a Veteran for their service and their sacrifice.I aspire to be respected by my kids (even when they are in their teens), to make it to Egypt to see all of the ancient wonders of the Pharoahs, to frolic in Germany and Ireland in the lands of my ancestry, to Paris to fall in love again, and Greece to climb to the Acropolis . Then perhaps, once I have lived a full enough life I will allow my husband to teach me how to fly (because if its like when we canoe together one of us won't make it out alive).
