About Me


MySpace Graphics at GlitterBell.com
/>I have been married to my wonderful husband, Robert, since 1994. My step son, Alex, was born in 1990. My son, Austin, was born in 1995. My daughter, Skye Marie, was born in 1997. My boys are very busy with their athletic endeavors. Austin plays football, basketball (AAU and recreation), and baseball. Alex is a swimmer and basketball player. Skye is in gymnastics and acting classes. She has competed in pageants since she was 6 months old. Skye is the reigning Pre-teen Indiana Galaxy!
I became interested in surrogacy in 1998. I gave birth to my first surrogate baby in 2001. I was blessed to be chosen again and gave birth again in 2003. Finally, I gave birth to my last surrogate baby in 2007. I have gained a whole group of friends and family through these adventures!
I am now directing the Montgomery County Strawberry Festival Queen pageant. I LOVE THIS JOB! I get to meet so many neat people and help contestants gain poise and confidence. I am the reigning 2006 Ms. Plus Universal. Now THAT was an experience!
In my (not so frequent) spare time, I like to read, and watch my kids participate in their activities.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I hope to find friends that I haven't heard from in a LONG time - or even a short time! Heck, even if I've NEVER heard from you, drop me a line!
