About Me

I am with a wonderful man who is the love of my life.. Patrick. He has helped me become the person I am today and since the day I have met him he has been my "cheerleader" in life. He is a nurse at the Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland but now working as a civi in the ICU. We had our dream wedding on 11/10/07 and it was definitely the best day in my entire life. We purchased our first house together a little over a year ago in Clarksburg, MD and are finally starting to decorate it now that the wedding is over. We have a dog named Parker who we are absolutely obessed with. Hes a puggle which is a pug and a beagle.. NOT a pug and a poodle. I call him "my son" and I like to put collared shirts on him. He wears a puffy vest when its cold out, he sits up like a human, goes to a doggy spa when we go away and he sleeps fully under the covers in bed with us at night... People who aren't dog lovers just wouldn't understand. I am a Jersey girl at heart and I miss spending my summers on the Jersey Shore where all I cared about was how tan I was and when the next time I was eating mack and mancos pizza. I was a swimmer for pretty much most of my life and miss being in that kind of shape more than words can explain. I ran a marathon which I can say I am pretty proud of. I swam across the chesapeake bay.... three times. Some people think I am crazy but I hope to eventually train to compete in the Iron Man. I have anxiety about being late.. even if its only 5 minutes. I am an animal lover.. right down to saving a toad hopping across the road. I am obessed with peanut butter but I hate chocolate syrup. The only tv shows I watch have to either do with medicine or murder. Sometimes I stress out about the smallest of things(dishes in the sink). I also care too much about what people think of me. I hate change of plans because I always plan ahead. I absolutely HATE a messy house, but my house is always messy. I am a strong believer in "everyone makes mistakes" so I am a very forgiving person. I love shoes and handbags. I should be a spokeswoman for Target because I buy EVERYTHING there... right down to my underwear. I have learned to enjoy life and not take anything for granted. I don't know what I would do without my family. I have only lived alone once in my life and it was only for 3 months... but I never want to do it again. I recently got accepted back into nursing school- the fun begins in January!! After that, we look forward to moving back towards our families and starting a family of our own!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on valentines, and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true,and the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favorite memories, and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, and a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all--one known only by those who love."
