About Me

MyHeritage : Look-alike Meter - Family historyI am a Big genealogy junkie! I love to walk through cemeteries, weird, but true.Let's see, we bought our 2nd home in March 2005, I've dubbed it "Van Loo Manor". I absolutely love my house!I have two very cute daughters, Shabri Zianna and Kyra Morgan...they are sooo way spoiled, to my own demise. I also have a very cute son, Aaron Montgomery Smith, oh how he lights up my world! I'm as in love with my husband, Matthew as I was on our first official date.What else? I've kind of settled into the role of being a bit domesticated, but I still like to go out and cut loose and have some fun with my friends. Actually, I wish I had more time for the later part, but it's all good, I like to multi-task.I think that's about it, if there is anything else you wanna know, guess you'll just have to ask. I love email from friends and family!*Layout* Layout made by

My Interests

*Music Player
Genealogy research, Reading the obituaries, Walking through cemeteries and taking digital stills of headstones, emailing, Playing The Sims & Sims 2 and also playing the Myst PC Games, listening to music, Reading, Gardening, Painting, I'm a huge Mary Engelbriet Fan, so much so, that a good chunk of my basement is hand painted by moi, with ME motifs, Sewing, Quilting, Crocheting, Volunteering when I can, Cooking (When I can, the hubby likes to cook and is an adamant critic on the subject), Being a Mommy, Talking with friends, Doing random acts of kindness. :)LEAST FAVORITES: Talking on the phone (don't like long uncomfortable silences when on the phone), picking up after my children, cleaning all three toilets in my house, sweeping almost 1,000 sq ft of pergo, and getting up before 9am.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet my biological father and get in touch with friends and people I knew from way back, I've lost track of....you never realize how much your friends mean to you until you grow up and build a family and get so busy with life that it seems there is no time left for anything else. Friends help you get through life. They are a constant constant.

Music:

I Love Rock n' Roll, Country, 70's & 80's Rock, Occassional Rap (old School) and occassional Heavy Metal, I'm pretty good with most generes, but the beat has to move me, I have to feel it in my bones.

Movies:

I stopped going to the theaters when the cost exceeded $6.50, I think that was Toy Story 2. Sad, I know. All the movies I see these days are on DVD. The hubby and I try and catch a flick at the Theaters when we can, but we are always so dang busy!Still, MY ALL TIME FAVS: Grease, Annie, Goonies, The Original Vacation, & Shrek*Celebrity look a like

Television:

Big Brother, Survivor, The Apprentice, Amazing Race, 7th Heaven, Everwood, Smallville, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Brother's and Sisters, One Tree Hill, Jericho, Hell's Kitchen, The Pirate Master, Men in Trees, American Idol, Dexter, CSI, Cold Case, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Medium, The View, and to make me cry every now and then, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with Ty Pennington

Books:

Anything Historical!

Heroes:

My Husband Matthew, My baby brother Ron, and GOD.
