About Me



Check out more Myspace layouts at pYzam .

I married Craig on October 25th in an absolutely beautiful ceremony at a ballroom in NE Portland. We both had a wonderful time - but it flew by way too fast. I would totally get married all over again (only to my lovely hubby Craig of course). I love, love, love my amazing family and all of my beautiful, loyal friends! I could not ask for a better life. And I could not ask for a better husband. Last year we lost one of Craig's best friends, Bryan when he died suddenly in our back yard. But through all of the tough times the last year I have come to realize that I need to cherish ever day and be thankful for everything that I have ever been given... my family, Craig, friends, wonderful pets, sad times, happy times, tough times, beautiful times, embarassing times etc... Everything I have ever experienced and everyone I have ever met has helped to make me the person I am today and I am extremely thankful for everthing. Life is great right now and will continue to be so as long as I can help it ;O) I now live to honor amazing people like Bryan Bernasconi, and people who passed on long before we thought they should. We are all lucky enough to make the most of every single precious day, and we should try our best to live life to the fullest and help those around us as best we can.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My first nephew little Tyler Jay Bethscheider, born Friday February 13th, 2009!!!! He is going to get tons of snuggles this Christmas when Craig and I fly to Australia to meet him for the first time :) Jonathan Davis (I still have that crush even after all these years), Tokio Hotel (doing Germany proud), my next pug... a lady friend for Mr. Kong. We are going to let him pick her out when the time comes. I don't like "arranged relationships". He should definently choose his life partner himself :O)

It’s dark here in the future

Jeeze, what happened to summer? I'm in Toronto this week and it's crazy dark already at 6 pm. And it's cold and raining. Don't get me wrong it beats the hell out of SoCal (which was in the high 90's w...

The story of Craig and Melanie

It was a cold day in hell, I mean, it was a cold November day back in 2003 when Craig and I met at the trash hole known as Baracuda's. Craig saw me from across the room and thought to himself "Ni...

Vegas Part Deux

16. It was very hard for me to resist the purchase of a $22 large plastic flamingo for my back yard. Truly difficult. I wasn't sure Southwest airlines would appreciate me lugging a 5 foot ta...

A month later

Bryan passed away about a month ago and it is still very hard to believe that whole night ever even happened. The funeral was the Friday after he died. It was probably the most beautiful and peaceful ...

In memory of Craig's best friend Bryan, we planted a beautiful Japanese Maple in the spot where he passed away in our back yard. I think it will be a beautiful spot where people can come to honor a gr...
