Grew up in IL and graduated from Willowbrook HS in 1995. Did some time at College of DuPage and in beauty school before realizing my addiction to a steady paycheck and health insurance. I got a job in an engineering firm where I met my husband, Bill. Bill and I have been married 9 years as of September 5th. We moved to NWI when I was pregnant with our first and he got a job that enabled us to move back to the area he grew up near. In other words, it was easier for my Mom and I to move rather than move his parents and sister and her family. It works because I get to stay home with our two kids. Our oldest son, Lance, was 7 in June and is a moderate autistic. We are very excited to say that we are seeing him grow by leaps and bounds lately! Everyday a new word and a little more interaction. His younger brother, Christian, turned 4 on March 10. He is a smaller version of me and was bribed into potty training with an audition. He made his stage debut last August! As if life with 2 boys isn't fun enough, I do a little local theatre. I have been in a several local productions, been nominated for a couple of awards for it, and I am starting a small business making new clothes from vintage patterns with vintage buttons and such. Basically, I follow my bliss and will do just about anything thrown my way.
