| Beginning
|
To
get started, I was born in Allentown,
PA, on March 21, 1970. I really
dig my birthday because it is the vernal
equinox and the first day of the
astrological year; which makes me an
Aries. |
Family
|
| My
family, which consists of my parents who
have been married for 34 years, and my
29 year old brother, moved to California
in 1974. In August of 1998 my
parents moved to Maryland which is close
to my brother in Washington D.C. |
| Childhood
|
From age 4 to 14 I lived in Fountain Valley, CA and went to
a private elementary school in Newport Beach called Carden Hall. My neighborhood was
filled with girls my age and at school I grew very close to many people. In fact
every five years I have a reunion for my 8th grade class. The
girls in my neighborhood and I were all crazy about Duran Duran and of course at the time I thought I would grow up to
marry Simon LeBon or Jason Bateman (from the time I saw him on Silver Spoons
... I am
still holding out for that one ... it could happen!
hahahahahaaaaa) |
Teen
Years
|
| Right before high school started my family moved to Newport
Beach so I could attend Corona del Mar High School. I am one of those people who
didn't think high school was that bad. I had a big group of girl friends that I did
everything with, I knew everyone in school and was in every club possible. I went to
tennis camp every summer and eventually became a counselor at the Big Bear Tennis Ranch. I
was really big into photography and yearbook and in my senior year went to a journalism
convention in Kansas City, Kansas which leads me to college. |

After high school I attended Orange Coast College for a year
but I was still so in love with Kansas from my trip my senior year that I decided to
attend the University of Kansas, in Lawrence. I adored living there. I didn't
work too hard in school but I made some fantastic life-long friends and got very
interested in student government. I stayed there longer than I should have because
of my friends and student senate. But when I realized I just had no idea what I
wanted to peruse for the rest of my life I dropped out, traveled a bit and wound up back
in California. After working for a while I knew I had to figure out what I wanted to
do and go back to school. People had always told me I should be a party planner. So I moved to
the Inland Empire and enrolled in the School of Hotel & Restaurant Management at
California State Polytechnic University at Pomona. |
Present
|
| There came a
time in my life when I had to just grow up, which brought me to
Las Vegas, Nevada. I moved there in June of 1999 and got a
job as a web designer. When things didn't work out I packed it
all up once again and in February 2000 I moved to Maryland to
live with my family. For two months I enjoyed being close to my
family again but when a job offer to be a web designer in New
York arose I just couldn't pass it up. I enjoyed living and
working in NY for almost 2 years. I made
some great friends and met a man I have
fallen in love with, David.
Unfortunately due to the World Trade
Center disaster our jobs here were
eliminated and the job market is scarce
so in February 2002 I along with David
moved back to DC and are once again
close to my family. :) |
