About Me


Myspace Layouts
I'm a 40 year old easy-going person with a very laid back charisma. I grew up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and still have the beach in my blood!! I love to garden. I have several flower beds, an herb garden, and a vegtable garden. I am a great cook and I like to have my family and friends over for cook outs. I collect fish magnets and sea glass. I love listening to music and going to concerts. I just got married to the love of my life--his name is Johnny. We have been together for 12 years. I am a breast cancer survivior. My three year anniversary was April 1st 2007--(and so far I haven't been fooled.) I have a wonderful family and friends along with my incredible Johnny who helped me keep my chin up and always look for something positive during all of my treatment. It has changed me though, it has made me appreciate every day of my life and live for the moment!! I don't sweat the petty stuff anymore. I love my job as a nurse in the Pediatric ICU, and I love the children even more!! Unfortunatly, I have none of my own. I spoil the heck out of my almost 4 year old chocolate lab though. His name is Buxton, (named after a town on Hatteras Island). He rules the roost around here. I love to travel to new places and meet new people. You learn so much from just listening to others. .

Heroes:


My mom for always being there for her children, my dog Buxton for giving me the unconditional love when I was going through chemo and for making me laugh, Johnny for always being my rock with more unconditional love, all the children I take care of for giving me strength-they are so brave, my family for all of their love, my co-workers for all the encouragement they give me, and everyone that has ever had to endure the fight of Breast Cancer--may we someday find a cure!
