About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
I'm just a regular girl who grew up in the mountains of beautiful Colorado. I work hard and play hard, but still find time to enjoy all that this amazing life has to offer.

I am very thankful for my wonderful family and all of my great friends, who make each one of my days special. I am so glad you are here:-)

I have a beautiful son named Matthew, who lives with his adoptive parents. I am blessed to know that he is doing well!

My golden retriever, Madison, brightens every one of my days. I am inspired to strive to be more like her - loving, cheerful, and always up for anything . . .

My mom and dad are my heros . . . they always worked so hard to provide for their kids. It's about time they retired - yeah for them!!!

Every day, I am thankful that I have been allowed to grow through times of shame and despair, and find peace with myself and the world.
