I was born in California, but moved to Northern Wisconsin when I was two. I graduated in 1997. After four years of meandering around (well there was some good stuff in there), I was set up on a blind date with Jason. We haven't been apart since.
We bought a home (in Fall of 2003) in a very small town in Illinois...only 450 people, two bars, and no gas station. The home we bought is a "Sears" home with almost all original wood...its an awesome house...but needs A LOT of repairs.
I married Jason, in September of 2004. We had a themed "Renaissance" wedding, complete with scrolls, "Lord of the Rings" music, and Hazzah! And our getway vehicle was a 1976 Harley Sportster.
Our beautiful son, Alexander, was born on Veteran's Day in 2005. It amazes me, every time I look at him, how much he is learning in such a short time.
We have a pure breed Weimaraner...Hunter. He drives me NUTS!!!
Currently I'm working as a part-time secretary, so that I can spent a lot of time with my son and still get a break. I'd like to go back to school...but haven't since my son was born.
That's it for now! I'm pretty boring!
Historical Fiction and Non-Fiction, Books made into movies, and Harry Potter.
I recently got into fiction novels...I never thought I'd like them...but as long was they aren't too "Romance" like I'll give it a try.
