About Me

Hmmm.....well- I'm not the same girl I was back in Port Orchard, WA-that is for sure. I've grown up and am enjoying my life. I'm happily married to a man who surprises me everyday in how kind, tough and remarkable he is- he can put up with me so he has to be tough. We have been married for over two years now and we just sold our starter home and bought a brand new construction house on 1.2 acres here in Jacksonville, NC. We closed on 8/1/08. We don't have any kids yet- we're waiting until we've been married a little longer. I will graduate from college in December with my Bachelors in Legal Studies and then he is going to go back to school. Maybe after he gets at least an Associates we'll talk about having kids. He works on base right now as a civilian and I work at a local law firm here in Jacksonville- Brumbaugh, Mu and King. We both recently got out of the Marine Corps after four year enslistments in 2007 as Sergeants and while we learned a lot in the Marine Corps we are enjoying our lives as normal civilians. So basically I am a married, full time student, and full time worker- life is a little bit crazy at the moment.

My Interests
