About Me




Biggest new thing is my new daughter, Jessica Hailey, born July 15, 2005.
...one of her Christmas 2006 pictures
Still love going to concerts,especialy Celtic bands and festivals, but usually spending time with her whenever I can! When I am at home, I am sometimes .. at home (evenings/weekends)using Yahoo Messenger - my userid is Aloha_MU. I spend a lot of time on my many Yahoo Groups. I created my Fenians Yahoo Group first because I am a huge fan of the band, the Fenians, from Southern California. Terry Casey, the lead singer, helped my husband propose to me at the Abbey Pub in February, 2001. After that, created Yahoo Groups for The Prodigals, Brigid's Cross, Gael Force/Finn's Fury, The Larkin and Moran Brothers. Also help moderate groups for Wolfstone, Glengarry Bhoys, and Gaelic Storm.
Why Aloha_MU? I took the nickname Aloha in college because I love Hawaii (been there 5 times) and I think aloha is the most perfect word! Aloha means many things including Hello, Goodbye, Love/affection. MU for Marquette University - I graduated in 1997 with bachelors in Commuication Studies with minor in Human resources.
If I added you as a friend, probably because of one of the following interests: Celtic music, Rolling Stones or other bands I like, Hawaii, Marquette, Chicago and/or Milwaukee. Feel free to send me a message! Thanks!
