About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting


My name is Melissa, I am married to Rob, my college sweetie. We have a beautiful little boy, Chandler who is 2! He's such a great boy, he's so easy going, I have no idea how we got so lucky since Rob and I were the opposite. :)
I graduated from Oregon State with a BS in Psychology. I did my internship at OHSU's Children's Psychiatric Day Treatment Center, where I was taught patience. Good thing since I have a toddler! :) I now am the Promotions Director for Pacific Natural Sales, my Mom's company that my Dad and her started in 1985. It's a great job and let's me raise Chandler without daycare. I am very blessed, and thankful for everything I have.

My Interests

We love to hangout with friends and family. We used to go to the cabin a lot, but since my dad passed away it's hard to go there.
I love to shop, hang out with friends & their kiddos, knit or sew (I am learning), watch movies and listen to music, especially if it's not kid music.
I also sing in Portland's Singing Christmas Tree. It's a lot of fun but also a lot of work. We begin learning music in August! This year it's the 45th Annual, and there are going to be some great guests, come see us!

I'd like to meet:

Other moms, new & old friends

..

Music:

I love Aerosmith, U2 and Barenaked Ladies! We went and saw Aerosmith for our 2nd Anniversary. We were 8th row in the "Super Sweet Spot" at the concert! Here is a pic or two!

Brad, Steven & Joe

Steven, right in front of us!!

Hubby and I at the concert! A night without Chandler!

Movies:

Thank God for Netflix. Between that and TIVO we can see movies when the Chandler sleeps. I love the Harry Potter Series, the books are so much better, though. Rob and I love John Cusak so we watch a bunch of his movies when we have time, which isn't that often.But HBO is also a nice thing for watching movies.

Television:

All the CSI shows, Sopranos (bummer it's ending), 2 1/2 men, How I Met Your Mother, 24, Dancing with the Stars, House, Men in Trees, Brothers & Sisters, ER, Numb3rs, Desperate Housewives (Rob says I am one sometimes), Grey's Anatomy, and Extreme makeover: Home Edition. WE WATCH TOO MUCH TV!

Books:

I love Harry Potter! I love the movies but the books are so much better! I can't wait for #7 to come out.

I read a lot about parenting and how to raise Chandler.

I love magazines too (People, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone among others).

I really like to hanf out and read message boards (www.babytalkbio.com/boards).

Heroes:

My Dad, who passed away April 3, 2006 (2 days after Chandler's first birthday party)from an apparent heart attack. He taught me so much, I truly miss him. I have a hard time making big purchases without his advice! I am a dork, but oh well.

I also admire my mom. Especailly since Dad died, she has had to learn to live without him and now run a company some 15 families depend on. WOW! I don't know what I would do without her love and support. That and Chandler loves hims Grandma! pastel colors with custom contact box included
