About Me

I grew up in a little town outside of Dayton, Ohio and then quickly got my ass out. I moved to Florida and had been there until October when I moved back home to be closer to my family. Sort of close anyhow... I am living in Columbus because this makes me close but not too close. I have a great guy, Mark and we are adjusting to life without palm trees. I am thirty-one years old and love being out and enjoying life. Also looking for friends to hang with and have a blast! a href="http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/
