About Me

About me...hmmm? After high school,I moved to Gainesville, FL for fear that I might get the "keys disease" & to go to school. I have been going to school ever since- I think they call those people doctors- but I never knew what I wanted to do until now. So mean while, I have been gaining knowledge and having fun. Life's too short- I learned that from my dad who just recently survived a heart attack. I have left a couple of times I moved to NC & have come back because I missed the ocean & got sick of starring at mountains. Besides, if it weren't for Gainesville I would never have met my husband Matt. We tied the knot or nuse whichever on April Fool's Day 2006. He owns a local business here in Gainesville & we travel a lot which is nice. Our baby girl Arwyn Jenna was born on July 27. Check out her pictures.
