I'm 38 years old. I'm a fairly new thyroid cancer survivor/patient. Learning to live a new life with out this major gland has been an adjustment. I was diagnosed and had my surgery in the summer of 2010 and was given the cancer free all clear in August 2011. I thank God every day for giving me a second chance here on this Earth. I've been married to my wonderful husband since 2001. He is my love and my best friend.
My husband and I would love to have children and pray that God will bless us someday with the gift of parenthood. It hasn't happened yet. Sometimes it is hard to stay hopeful and faithful, but I truly have to have faith in the Lord's plan for us. I love spending time with my husband, family and friends.
I'm the mommy to two adorable and mischievous house cats, sisters, Bella and Gigi. They make me smile and laugh every day, even when they are ornery.
I'm most happy when I am able to be creative. I have a graphic design degree that I don't use enough. Photography is my passion! Paper crafting is a close second. I love taking pictures as I learn how to improve my photography skills. I love anything that allows me to be creative. I enjoy baking, but have a hard time following a recipe without adding my own special touches to it. I have a passion to scrapbook the photos of my life, even if the story I leave behind is only for my niece and nephew and any future generations of nieces and nephews who have yet to be born. I don't allow myself as much time as I should to pursue my crafting passions. I need to change that. I'm a terrible procrastinator. I can easily become distracted and bored so I must always try new and creative things to keep my mind busy. I love using my talents to help others. What good are they if I keep them to myself? I get frustrated very easily when things don't go as planned. I also get distracted very easily. I think I have a touch of adult ADD, but it has yet to be officially diagnosed. I have a keen desire to have a better understanding of myself, what I was put on this Earth to do, and of God's ways and plans. I have no idea what I should do when I grow up, but I hope I figure it out soon. I think I am a tough nut to crack, yet my husband always seems to read me so well! I'm definitely a one of a kind. Just ask him.
