My name is April. I am 27 years old. I have been married to my husband Ron for just over 6 years. I am a dialysis technician. I would say that some days I love my job and some days it makes me want to pull my hair out. It took me a long time to get used to being around death all the time. And yes, some people do get transplants, but I have only seen a hand full of people receive a kidney and dozens of my patients have passed on. We currently live in an apartment, but we are planning to move soon.

I enjoy cooking and baking. I am still learning my way around the kitchen, but I'd say I'm doing pretty good. I also love to shop. Any kind of shopping. I am one of the only people who I know that actually enjoys grocery shopping. I love thrift stores and yard sales and walmart. I rarely pay full price for anything for myself and my husband likes to tease me about it. I also like video games. Wii bowling is the game that I currently can't get enough of. My husband used to lead his own ghost hunting group, but was invited to be the technical manager of another group. He decided to go for it, and I'm hoping to join them on a hunt really soon.

As far as children go, we have no living children. Our son Zell Vandamark was still born at 20w on May 19,2002. We found out we were pregnant for a second time in August 2004. Our son Cloud Brian ended up being born at 24w on January 1,2005. He contracted an infection from some donated blood that was not caught in time and he passed away on January 15, 2005.

 We have not given up hope that one day we will be parents. We plan to try again in a few more years. As of right now we plan to go through the whole pregnancy thing again which will mean I will be on some form of bed rest from day one. During that time I'm sure my computer will be my best friend. We haven't closed our hearts to the idea of adoption. Either way we will certainly have an only child.

Update: I am going back to school. I start in September and I will be majoring in accounting. I know it's a big departure from what I'm doing now, but I think it will suit me a little better. Unfortunately that will put any plans for future babies on hold a little longer than we had planned, but I think I'm okay with that.
