I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, simply put, I'm twenty-seven years old and trying to figure out this "being a grown-up" business in a big hurry with the help of great friends, supportive family, and an amazing boyfriend. Took my sweet time figuring out what to do with my life, and have experimented with a lot of possibilities... To hit the high points, went to UC Davis for roughly six years, have been a nanny, a flight attendant, a cook, a bartender... Am now well on my way to finishing culinary school, with the hope of starting a catering company sooner rather than later. (Looks like later is more realistic... Am realizing another life-long dream, and just became a mom to an adorable baby boy, Sam. Am very anxious and frankly terrified, but of course, unbelievably excited! He's an amazing little boy, and I'm completely in love with him.) stripes layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com love / music / movies / frazy

My Interests

Not so much trying to meet anyone. I really just want to touch base with folks I've lost touch with and don't see often enough. Seems like a good way to do it!
