I am here for Friends

About Me

I live in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle which is absolutely beautiful and full of life. I got engaged in September of 2006 in Venice, Italy (on the famous "Bridge of Sighs") to a wonderful man named Maurice who I've been great friends with for about 9 years. As he is an English citizen and still has a home about 28 miles Southwest of London we travel quite a bit abroad to visit friends, explore, and to work on the house. We travel quite well together and seem to welcome adventures. Together we have hiked the Chilkoot Trail in the Yukon with the bears, have driven all over Morrocco and rode camel-back into the Sahara desert, and taken many last minute road trips to various ski resorts in the Western half of the U.S. My favorite places that we have visited are the South of France (Nice and surrounding beach and hill towns) and Venice, Italy.I have had various jobs, mostly working with children. I worked as an assistant to a child therapist helping children with disabilities such as autism for the last couple of years but am now job hunting for a position that will pay a bit more.My fun depends on the season. In the winter I spend a lot of time skiing. I love the speed and challenges that skiing offers. For those of you who are reading this and know me, you would be amazed at how I've taken to skiing since I'm really not an outdoorsy, athletic kind of girl. In the spring and summer, I spend a lot of time playing in my garden box testing out my green thumb. I was pretty successful with last years crop...we'll see if anything grows this year. I got my motorcycle endorsement three years ago and have since been interested in fast bikes. I don't yet have one of my own, I'd like to have a little Kawasaki 250 to start on and then move up to a 600. For now, I'll just watch the guys go around the track in Seattle and in Portland. Other than that, I try to travel as often as available. My latest interest has been volunteering for Evergreen City Ballet which is located in Renton, WA. Maurice is on the Board of Directors of the company, which is how I became involved. ECB puts on very professional performances often accompanied by a full orchestra. Its great fun! Myspace Graphics

Old high school and college friends.

My Blog

Hello World

Well, for those who are reading this and who actually know me...hello to you. I am absolutely terrible at figuring out technology, and so, therefore, I try my best to avoid it.  I am free of...
