    • About Me

      I am 24 years old and live here in southern New Mexico. I love the white sands and the mountains. I am an army brat and basically just fell in love with this place and stayed. I met my hubby at New Mexico state. was funny he thought I was beautiful when I had pneumonia. odd. wish he could think that way now. :S Anyways I have one sheltie named Duncan he is really old and has maybe 3 teeth but he is my baby. We also have an evil cat which is totally my husbands. His name is garfield and my neighbors keep saying he is going to the pound. lol Im going for my degree in Early Childhood education. I love being around kids. they can be so funny and amaze you at the same time. I hope that someday I may be blessed with that gift. I lost my mom at 15. We are still not sure why she got so sick but she was only 35. I still do not talk about it much but I find that writing helps. Im really just a big kid at heart. I love anything Disney. For our honeymoon I had my first trip to disney world. hubby would need a drink by the end of the night. Me you would think i was drunk. I was skipping around with no shoes on singing on the top of my lungs. lol

I also well not this year i missed it but I enjoy doing the Bataan Death March. it is a 26.2 mile marathon through the desert here, to honor the veterans and those lost or missing in WWII. I have made it 4 times so far. Hopefully next year I will be up to it. My hobbies include reading, knitting, talking on the phone with friends, playing with my dog duncan who is my baby, and spending time with family.

    • Little Love

      From Dezna April 24

      Hi Megan, It is great to hear from you my friend. Thanks you for the hugs. O dear that is nice that your laptop is still on the broken side. I went to hosptial and had a few tests done for my neuropathy. I found out that my neuropathy has gone to my bladder which is not nice, because it is very painful. The doctor said he can give me medication but it does not always help. So you have got lots of babysitting. How old are the children that you are babysitting? Same so you are not feeling well. I hope you feel a better soon, I will be thinking about you. Can't wait to see the pic's of the new guest room. Hugs Dezna
