{Updated 8/3/10} I am 28 years old & I am married to my best friend and soul mate! As cliché as that sounds, it is the honest truth. I am very blessed to stay at home with our son Alexander. I love my life and am so thankful that I have been able to watch my son grow and change everyday for the past 2 years! I love the smell of the ocean, iced white mochas, photography, music, laughing and making other people laugh!Reading (chick lit), writing short stories, shopping, pedicures, cleaning (It helps me relax!) cooking and entertaining friends and family. When I am not feeling pretty I wear big sunglasses and pretend that I am invisible! Surprises drive me crazy (I hate not being in control of things, hehe) and my husband knows this and surprises me with sweet things all the time. I think he does it one, because he loves me (duh!) and two because he loves to watch me squirm! ;) I'm lost without my Burt's Bees Chapstick! I am strong, very honest to the point sometimes I am called "rude," independent, compassionate, loving and loyal. I stand firm on what I believe and do not change my thoughts or beliefs for other people! I trust God my Lord and Savior to lead the way. I cherish the time I spend with my family and hope to be half the mother my mom was to me!
