About Me


Create your own Friend Quiz here I'm 31. Born and raised in Tacoma. Recently moved into a townhouse in Puyallup. Married Mark in July 2004 after dating him for 7 years:) He is my perfect match. My soulmate. Sounds cliche..but he does complete me. Challenges me. Loves me more than anyone. I can't imagine my life without him in it. Our daughter Grace was born May 3, 2007 after struggling to get pregnant for over a year. She's definitely a gift from God. A blessing for us. I've been an LPN since 2003. Did nursing home work for almost 4 years and got burned out on caring for 25+ residents and not feeling like I had enough time to help any of them. I now work for my in-laws. They run an adult family home. It works perfectly because Grace gets to go to work with me. My God, my family, and my friends mean everything to me. I cherish them.
