I am here for Friends

About Me

Life is good. I have a wonderful husband, adorable kitty, 4 swimmy goldfish, 6 crazy guppies (and counting) and a huge mortgage. I work at Playboy. I love to travel. I recently got back from Africa. I spent the most amazing 3 weeks volunteering at an orphanage in Tanzania. I will carry the memories with me for the rest of my life, and the children and friends that I met on my journey will always have a place in my heart. Unfortunately, I am no closer to deciding on what I want to do for the rest of my life!
