About Me

girls layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
Profile courtesy of Free MySpace LayoutsI am a happily married stay at home mom. I married my best friend and we have a gorgeous 2 year old son, Roan. He is my everything. I spent almost 5 years in the military. I spent 2 1/2 years in the Army and a little over 2 years in the Air Force. I am a registered nurse specializing in pediatrics. While in the Air Force, I worked with really sick kids including kids with cancer. I loved the military, but I am glad to be out. I did make some great friends and went to places I would have never gone if it wasn't for the military, so I am grateful for that. I also met my husband while on active duty....I was working as a nurse while he was rounding on one of his patients and he needed help translating to a Spanish-speaking only family.....thank God they don't make doctors learn Spanish or we would've never met! My husband is a staff anesthesiologist in the Air Force and we just moved to Maryland, just outside of Washington DC. I am an avid runner, running at least 3 times a week. I love cooking anything and everything (my husband has gained 25 pounds since we have been married) and will always try a new recipe. I love being outdoors and will pursue any activity that will allow me to absorb the sun. I am willing to try anything once and am a firm believer in second chances---but never a third. I am always up for a challenge, especially when it comes to running.
