About Me


FINALLY I am done school and have my degree in Early Childhood Education!! I never dreamed of the anticipation graduation would bring me, but I finally feel successful (in terms of a career) now that I'm working full-time with kids.
The last 3 years have been the most amazing years of my life!! Dating AND marrying the man of my dreams....my best friend, my partner in crime, my dream come true, my reason for waking up each day....Chris is my true meaning of love. His unending support has kept me sane, and for this I am so so so greatful!! Right next to me or deployed to the other side of the world, Chris is always there for me and with me in everything I do. I cannot express in words how proud and so incredibly happy I was on January 6, 2006, when I became Kate Parente!!
Aside from my intense love of early childhood education, I am always surrounded with music, friends, and my writing. I've been through a lot, made mistakes, but learn from it all and keep moving forward.

Your Inner Child Is Happy
You see life as simple, and simple is a very good thing.
You're cheerful and upbeat, taking everything as it comes.
And you decide not to worry, even when things look bad.
You figure there's just so many great things to look forward to. How Is Your Inner Child?

You Are Most Like Charlotte!

You are the ultimate romantic idealist
You've been hurt before, but that hasn't caused you to give up on love.
If anything, your resolve to fall in love is stronger than ever.
And it's this feminine optimism that men find most appealing about you.
