About Me

Hi! I'm Melanie and welcome to my page. I am a single mom living with my 7 yr old son, Christian, and my great boyfriend, Dustin. We live in a small house in the little town of Dupo Il. I am a outgoing fun loving woman with a big heart. I love my life and everything that has come along with it. I have made alot mistakes in my life but I have no regrets. I have learned alot from the challenges I have faced so far.
I currently manage a currency exchange in Cahokia IL. I love my job but it's not what I plan to always do. I have no clue what I want to do with the rest of my life. The only plans I have right now is to enjoy the time I have here, love my family and not to stop dreaming big.

My Interests

I have a wide variety of interests and things I find interesting. I have a collection of M&M figures and Marilyn Monroe memoribla. I like snowmen and iceskaters. Music and TV. Swimming and camping. Spring and Summer. Family and Friends. Festivals and small get togethers. My Lover and my Best Friend. The Sky and Trees. Rivers and oceans. Photography and People.

I'd like to meet:

I like all people. I have a big heart and alot of room to fill it with new friends.

Movies:

We watch alot of movies thanks to Blockbuster online. But some my favorites include Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Gone with the Wind, We are Marshall, all Disney movies, The Notebook, Evan Almighty and The Pathfinder.

Television:

I watch quite of bit TV. House is my favorite show. To name a few, I also enjoy all the CSI's, Big Love, Cold Case, Flip this House, The Simpson's, Family Guy, Futurama, The Contender, American Idol and 24.

Books:

Reading is my favorite pastime. It's in my heritage~ my father is an avid reader. Some of my favorite authors include Nicholas Sparks, Jodi Picoult and Kristen Hannah. I read mostly female fiction~ stories about life, love and struggle.

Heroes:

My mother is my hero. Because against all odds she done a wonderful job of raising my brother and I. At different times while I was growing up she struggled against drug addiction, poverty and spousal abuse yet she never gave up. She always had a smile and a cute snorting laugh. She taught me to be a strong independent woman with morals. I only hope I am at least half woman she is.
