About Me

Click the link http://web.mac.com/mycortez if you really want to learn more about me. I am 26 years old and love to travel. My wife and I are expecting our first child in June and we hope to be able to finish our tour of the Seven Wonders of the World and all seven continents by the time he is 2 years old. If you haven't seen me in a while I might look a little different than you remember considering I lost 125 pounds last year. But don't get me wrong, I LOVE food. After visiting Paris I gained a real appreciation for the culinary arts. Check out my website to read more about me. You can find links to videos, pics and blogs there too. If you want to find out more then IM me. AIM screenname: Lawrencemcortez
