All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here...in my arms....

About Me

Quick blurb: I'm VERY shy until I get to know you.... I'm compassionate & an extremely dedicated and caring friend...I'd do almost anything for my friends and family. I love to help others and I always root for the underdog. I'm married to my best friend of 20 years, with whom I run our business, www.soulfulcreations.net, selling his wonderful artwork (it really is! I'm not biased!). These days, we may appear pretty normal looking (back in the day, we were all about punk & goth fashion), but I assure you we're still freaks at heart & still LOVE the music. Also, my hubby and I just had our 1st child on January 30, 2007- after a long, difficult journey & being told we couldn't have children. Our little boy, London, is so amazing. We are loving being partents & we can't wait to experience life with him & see the world through his precious eyes.
