I work in commercial trucking insurance and have a passion for oil painting and drawing. Would love to make a living with art only, but for now I pay the bills with insurance - which is a great job and a stressful one. Or I would like to open a coffee house ~ but probably not here in New Mexico.

We have plans to move to Washington State within the next couple of years. Yeah I know - ANOTHER coffee house in Washington LOL. But that is where I am from originally and we have no desire to raise a child here in New Mexico. There is so much more to see! Trees for one! I miss trees and grass and rain, and so does my hubby ~ originally from England.

My husband Chris and I have been married over 5 happy years, finally decided we were ready for children last year.  Our beautiful Hannah was born 9/11/08 at 7 lbs 10 oz and 19.5 inches long.  We are on a high learning curve but starting to get the hang of it!

We have 2 VERY active indoor cats, and so far they are curious about the baby but have been good!

I paint and draw - love portraiture and color.  I haven't done much in a while though :( been too tired

I hope to continue yoga after my body is a little recovered from childbirth

I gave birth without the ever-popular epidural.  I did have Stadol which did f*ck all for the pain, but hey - at least the I thought the imaginary bugs crawling on me were cartoons!

I don't tolerate people forcing religion on me but will respect your views if you respect mine :)  I am agnostic, yet open minded.  Opinionated at the same time though LOL
