Let me tell you about
myself:
Growing up...I grew up in
different states. I was born here in Portland then after Mt. St.
Helen blew her top we moved to Florida. We lived there for about two
years or so. All I remember was that it was a long bus ride to
school. After Disney we moved to Illinois and after three or so
years we moved back to Portland. I spent a few years in Idaho and
then moved back here and currently have no desire to move out of
Portland.
Work Life...I'm being a Mom. I've taken sometime off to be with
the kids.
Blessing in my Life...In 1994, I was blessed with a baby girl,
Samantha, on February 1, 1994. This year we celebrated her birthday
at Chuck E Cheese's, she was so excited. She started first grade at
Echo Shaw Elementary; she was so excited she could hardly wait.
Everyday she would ask if it's time to go to school. It's so cute!

March 27, 1998, I a met a wonderful man!! We met through
Z100's web page it was a
chance I took and it turned out really well. On July 4th, 1998 we
got engaged, even though I beat him to the question he still
accepted, happily.
March 4, 2000, Jason and I had are wedding at St. Mary's Cathedral.
It was a beautiful wedding with lots of music and family to share
the day with us. (to see pictures go to
photo album).
February 2000, we found out that we will be expecting our second
child in October of 2000. On May 19, 2000 we found out by way of
technology that we will be bringing home a Jonathan Michael around
October 7, 2000. I hope he comes in September before school starts.
September 24, 2000, Jonathan decided to make an appearance. Jonathan
came in to this world at 8:47pm. He is such a joy in our lives and
Samantha loves him. (to see pictures go to
Jonathan's page).
October 19, 2001, Worst day in our lives. Jason lost his life in a
car accident and our family life has never been the same. We are
learning to live without his laughter and smile but his spirit is
close. Everyday he opens the front door to let us know that he is
still watching over us. We celebrated his 28th birthday and let
balloons go to take our messages up to him. As we come up to the
anniversary of his death, I think of how much he loved all of us and
would want up to remember how happy he was and how precious life can
be. Remember to always hold your loved ones close and always tell
them how much you love them
