Ok...so now a little about me. Let's see here. I am 29 yrs. old now. I have one daughter who is a very smart 8yrs. old. I have been married, and I am now currently seriously in love with the person who I really hope to spend the rest of my life with. We have been living together for several months now and we are planning on getting married on April 26th. I get to do the planning and I am really looking forward to it. He is absolutely awesome!!! I do have a new job now. Much more physical than sitting behind a computer and talking on the phone. I also make more money which is a bonus.

Some of my interests include computers, music, ceramics, candles and candle making, and web-page research. I love movies...LOL Fav of the year so far is Hannibal. I like to visit newsgroups and gather information that would help me in my job. I am a firm believer in doing it right the first time...in things NOT related to marriage. LOL I like to rollerblade, workout at the Y and work with people who have had a specific surgery like mine. More on that later.

Previous occupations include: county government, restaurant management, and teaching. Occupations that I would like to do in the future are: teaching again, writing a program and maybe a used car dealer!!! LOL Just kidding on that last one. Although, a new car dealer could be kewl. *S*

When I am not at work, online, or trying to keep the house clean, I enjoy reading. I have not been finding time for that lately but one day I hope to resume that hobbie. Favorite authors include: Robin Cook, Jean Auel, Jackie Collins, and Ann Rice. Favorite music would be Godsmack, Static X and Linkin Park.

I have three brothers. Although I am the oldest of the children, sometimes I feel like the youngest as my brothers always think they know everything better than me...I guess thats what brothers are for...*S* The oldest of the boys, Johnny, is one year younger than me. He is almost married with children..(no pun intended) He has two boys and a little girl. The second brother is 25 now? I think? Robert runs a video game business in Las Cruces, NM . He is now dating a childhood friend who knows what she got herself into. He likes to buy his toys instead, and does not want to get caught up in the kids and wife thing yet. Now for the youngest. Kenny...he is the BEST. Since our mother died in February, he has been working fulltime and also going to school. He graduated from HS last year, and plans on going to either UNM, or ENMU-Roswell. He has been working hard so he can keep our mothers house and still go to school. I am very proud of him. We talk about once a week just to make sure that we are all doing ok. Since he was only 17 when all of this took place, we thought we would have a problem with him living alone...but he proved to the judge and other officials that he is able to take care of himself. He is now doing really well on his own and I am very very proud of him just as I now our mother is proud of him as well. I love you Kenny.

I had my surgery on September 7th, 2000. At the time, I weighed 250 pounds and could not buy clothes anywhere. I now weigh 143 and wear a size 8/9 depending on who makes the clothing...LOL Unless I were to tell you, you would really never know that I did at one time have a weight problem. You can learn more about it at this site. If you live in North Dakota and would like to check into this, you can talk to others who have had it here.
