    About Me

    I am 22 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

    Interests

    I love not only working with children, but movies. Oh the movies Hubby and I have over 170 movies. We go to the theater often too. Not lately since i have a hard time sitting too long. but i love them all the same. 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.

      From tom2687 Yesterday

      Thoughts and Prayers to you. I have Neuropathy and don't know what to do about it, I'm also BiPolar and have Pulmonary Fibrosis all not pleasant. Plus a number of other ailments. I know it's not pleasant ,but I live one day at a time and do the best that I can. Most of my family have passed away so, that's unfortunate. I wish you well in your future have a good week. Hugs, Tom

      I actually started counseling after a drs visit last year where a dr decided that i was having a hard time with my moms death from 2001 I was 15. silly her to realize it was around christmas a big holiday for my family that she always made special. Then just after getting so sick in January and the pain still here 8 months later, hubby trying to help at least i think he does somedays he can just be mean. Its hard for me to deal with this new path in my life.
