About Me

Hummmm, let's see. I grew up in Greenwood, Indiana. I went to Purdue for a short stent of one whole semester, worked in downtown Indy for a couple of years as a manager at the Embassy Suites then moved to CO in 1998. Got into headhunting IT professionals, then recruiting environmental professionals and engineers. Met my husband there in 2000, lived together for two years, ran off and got married in Hawaii - didn't invite anyone. Studied natural medicine at The School of Natural Medicine in Boulder, CO. Volunteered as a Reiki therapist at a cancer center for before and after chemo/radiation treatments. Went to Puerto Rico for a two week intensive on Natural Foods. Broke my wrist trying to learn how to snowboard (some people just aren't cut out for snow sports). Moved to NC, worked for an environmental drilling company for a while, got pregnant with my first son Sammy. Quit work to stay at home and just had our second son, Owen in Sept. In the meantime, we traveled to Mons, Belgium, Brussels and Amsterdam in Nov. 2004. Love taking pictures and entering contests. I've had two pictures chosen as finalists but no winners yet at betterphoto.com,I still go back to Indy about 1-2 times a year to visit my family. Charlotte is nice but I miss Colorado and can't wait to move back someday. ^^^^^ ************************************************************ ***************************************************My business website = ******************www.cesphotography.com++++++++++++++++++++ +++ Link for pictures: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/free/gallery.asp?memberID =108726 ************************************************************ ********************************************************** Old WEBSITE: http://forgetmenot.photoworkshop.com _________________________________________________I'm very clutsy, I've broken both arms (seperate incidents) when I was a kid, then I broke my wrist the first time I went roller blading (I'm sure it didn't help that I was wearing my brother's roller blades.... didn't exactly fit), then, a bit buzzed, I dove head first in to a little over 3 feet of water on geist (yeah, that one was bad) then (nope, I"m not done yet.....) I broke my other wrist when I tried snowboarding for the first time - 20 min. into my lesson, on the bunny hill. I had to wear this HUGE metal contraption on my wrist for months that had a twisty thing on it that helped me turn my wrist a little further each day (or it was suppose to - never really worked). So I was unable to turn my hand palm up for about six months until I moved to Charlotte and people drive like idiots here so I was mad and in my driving rage, flipped someone off and pop.... my wrist was all better. How bout that? I've decided that I just should NOT try anthing that moves, makes me move or requires and coordination. My husband was trying to get me to learn how to ski over the 4th and my family was like "hell no! we don't want to go to the hospital this trip!" Ha, ha, ha..... I guess I'm going to have to get use to being a spectator. Oh yeah, I forgot one.... I got my foot ran over by a car too!
