About Me

"You always have a choice, even if it is only a choice of your attitude."
~ Lucy MacDonald
Our adoption journey continues. We completed our home study at the end of March and are waiting for the right match! We know we will be parents soon! XOX

We are partners in a successful transportation logistics company (moving high end medical & electronic equipment) - you can see one of our trucks below! The boys have also done a great job of expanding the business into the relocation of data centers (from small businesses to large corporate moves)! You boys ROCK!

"I know not with what weapons WW III will be fought - but WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Albert Einstein

I moved to Charlotte from San Diego in '95 and met my husband Jeff 7 months later. We moved to Toronto a few months after that (had fun) and then moved back to NC in September '96. I married my best friend and lover in October of 1997 - 10 yrs and counting!I have some medical issues - I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1998 and am hypothyroid - these have wreaked havoc on my body, fertility, mind & spirit...BUT I'M FIGHTING BACK AND I HOPE MY SOULCYSTERS (get it?) WILL JOIN ME!
So it probably isn't surprising that we've been working on having children for years now...WE'RE NEVER GIVING UP. We pray and hope to add to our family before the end of this year. The thought of this makes my heart skip a beat. :D
MY HUSBAND IS THE MOST AMAZING, SUPPORTIVE, UNDERSTANDING, MAN IN THE WORLD! F.U.F. BABY!
We are living life and have our hands full with our 2 dogs, cat, home, families, friends & BUSINESS!
Keep on dancing and laughing
and nothing is too much to handle...
Always be considerate...

You are the Empress card. The Empress is the archetype of the Mother. She creates and nurtures life. She represents the abundance of Mother Earth. The Empress is capable of using nature in a productive way. She espouses art for art's sake. Her planet is Venus, and she embodies love of beauty and a strong value system. Here is also found initial sensation. This is the first really physical experience of the world that The Fool has entered. The Empress has a rich understanding of the world based on her five senses. In a reading, The Empress represents pregnancy, actual or metaphorical. She indicates an act of creation and a sensual experience of beauty. The Empress is a nurturing force that wishes to see the product of her experiences reach the next stage of development.
