About Me

We'll be moving from the UK to Florida on the first of May. We were really disappointed at first, but we're getting more excited about it now. We're actively looking for a house in Navarre. Bring on the boat and the sunshine. Crab Island's calling!
Shawn and I moved to the UK in 2005 and we have loved it. We bought a house in East Anglia (near Norwich) with a great garden for BBQing. We're in the heart of renovation now, with our house being taken over by the builders. We've done a lot of traveling in the last three years which is the best of what we'll take back to the states with us.
I've been a designer and marketing consultant for 16 years and still love it. I've been freelance consulting for the past three years, mainly so I can go downstairs and play with the boys when I take a break from my Mac.Shawn and I both started our Master's programme at the Norwich School of Art and Design in October in Managing Creative Enterprises. It's been so beneficial to us. We'll be working on our dissertations over the summer but will be done by the end of August! Hooray!!
Shawn and I love to go out, have a drink, play darts, dance, listen to bands, dine out. We have three boys - 17, 3, and 2 - who are a lot of fun. We love traveling and cooking, and finding new places to visit and enjoy. We also love the outdoors - going camping and riding our motorcycle to the coast.

I'd like to meet:

We're here to make a few new friends, mix in some of our old ones and have a few laughs along the way.

Music:

We love all kinds of music. Shawn prefers rap and R&B. I'm listening to a lot of Amy Winehouse, Elliott Yamin, Daughtry, KT Tunstall and Sarah McLachlan right now. We both love oldies and 70's classic rock. Jacob keeps us current on the more pregressive, alternative stuff. Pretty much if it's a song I can dance to, I'll listen to it.

Movies:

Cheesy chick movies, Grease, Grease 2, Singing in the Rain, Sleepless in Seattle, anything with Cary Grant, an Affair to Remember, and it wouldn't be Christmas without It's a Wonderful Life, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. With two little ones I also get a lot of Barney, Bear in the Blue House and the Wiggles.

Television:

Reality TV is my quilty pleasure. Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Cold Case, E-Ring, American Idol, X Factor, DIY, Places in the Sun and cooking shows.

Books:

I love to read just about anything. Really love mystery and suspense.
