MerlyBird is a nickname I got like in 1994, it's fun and it stuck! ("early bird" and my name is Merly, so "Merly Bird"... get it?). Married since March 2001 to a man who makes me laugh everyday, Russell. Russell, Vinny (our feline son), and I moved to Gainesville, FL from the Ft. Lauderdale area (from Weston, to be exact) in May 2005. I work for a wonderful team of two Orthodontists & I LOVE MY JOB! Since moving to Gainesville I have made some great friends who I hope are in my life for ever. I also have my own little side business... Chocolate Fountain Rentals! Yum! Call me.
