About Me

I live in Durango, CO. I have one brother, Cameron, but he lives with my dad. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. I'am a student at Fort Lewis College. I will be majoring in American History w/ a teaching certificate. Since I like history I have often thought about working at Colonial Williamsburg as a Colonial Interpreter, but I don't know if that is what I want to do. All I know is I want to get married and have a homebirth for my children with my husband and I catching our children.
