I am married and living in a small farming community outside of Phoenix, AZ.  I have worked mainly in hi-tech the majority of my adult life.  Currently I am also a college student studying Computer Science which has proven to be very challenging but rewarding at the same time. 

My husband and I are owned by a dog, Abby, and a ferret, Monsoon.  They are our "kids." 

We got a camper last fall and it has been incredibly fun exploring different areas of Arizona.  I love the lifestyle here.  It is very different from where I grew up in the Northeast.  I learn new things all the time about this wonderful place called home in the Sonoran Desert.

"I've got money in my pocket,

I like the color of my hair. 

I've got a friend who loves me.

I've got a house.  I've got a car.

You can say I'm hard to hold,

but if you knew me you'd know

I've got a Good Mother.  And her voice is

what keeps me here.

Feet on ground, heart in hand, facing forward,

just be yourself."

-Jann Arden
