I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am truly a blessed person. I could never imagine how wonderful my life could be. I have a gorgeous husband who is everything to me. Our friendship and devotion to each other are without measure and I really don't think any other couple could possibly be happier than we are. Jorge is my first and only love and somebody whose diapers I would willingly change when we get older even though I am a year and a half older than him and will probably get to the diaper thing first. You know what I mean. Speaking of diapers, we will be elbow deep in them come this summer. We are expecting our first child and happy, excited and scared! Hopefully this baby will glean only the good attributes from Jorge and myself like excessive good looks, superior spelling skills, gifted musicianship and of course, a high IQ and not the bad ones like clumsiness, sarcasm, and gorilla-like hairiness. We'll see (and hopefully for mom's sake, the baby won't inherit Jorge's very large head.)
