About Me

I'm 37 years old and have been married since 1996 to the best guy in the world. We just had our first child in August 2005. We're California transplants originally from Georgia. We love living in San Diego because you can't beat the weather! Oh yeah, and I'm adopted and have a wonderful family. I'm so lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life!

My Interests

Raising my daughter, softball, trying to keep Costco trips to under $100, travel to foreign countries, bird watching, cooking, labrador retrievers, adoption reform/Concerned United Birthparents (CUB), organ donation awareness
Find Concerned United Birthparents (CUB) on MySpace and be their friend!

I'd like to meet:

If they were still alive, I would like to meet Katharine and Audrey Hepburn. They were two classy ladies. I would also like to meet Rachael Ray. She's so perky and makes yumm-o food! I love her 365: No Repeats 30-Minute Meals cookbook. I wish I had half the energy she had! I would also like to meet Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. They seem like really neat people.
