About Me

A lot has changed since good old LHS. Who would have thought I would become a soccer mom? Ok, so I'm a punk rock soccer mom. My husband is a Naval officer, so I spend most of my time moving. I've lived all over the country and will be moving again very soon. What else....I have a degree in interior design, another in business admin and I don't use either. I am a volunteer case worker for the Navy/Marine Corp. Relief Society. I've been married for 9 years and have a 7 year old daughter. I love my life and have never been happier. My daughter is the source of my inspiration and my husband is my rock and best friend...I know it sounds cheesy but it's true! I've have been really fortunate and I am very thankful. I do miss my friends from LG...and Edmonds. If I don't know you please don't waste my time.

My Interests

cooking, reading, sailing, traveling, spending time with my friends and family.

I'm not here to meet anyone, reconnect with lost friends is more like it. But, famous people...let's see...do they all have to be alive? Jesus, Bono, Pope John Paul II, The Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King, Mike Patton, Daniel O'Connell, James Joyce, Shakespeare, Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Johnny Depp or Keanu Reeves would be just fine too.

My baby is growing up

Yesterday was Gracie's 7th birthday. 7!!! For some reason, 7 hit me harder than the rest. Maybe it's because 7 seems less "little girl" and more "pre-teen." Whatever the reason it just seems weir...

Policemen are our friends. I think.

So I have waited to write about the events of my weekend until I could organize my thoughts into something intelligible. Unfortunately for me, that hasn't happened yet so I decided what the heck I'll ...

Fall

It's that time of year again. The leaves turn every color in the rainbow and everywhere you look the trees look like they are on fire with color. The air is crisp and cool. The birds head south. ...

What not to do when you have company coming

If cleanliness is next to godliness, and children are a gift from God....why are they so messy? My very dear friend Stacy and her boys are coming for a visit tomorrow. This morning I cleaned my house....

It doesn't make sense

Why do some people skate through life...without a care in the world. Never having to remove the rose colored glasses? Really, it doesn't make sense to me. These twits are out there, unaware what real ...
