    • About Me

      I'm a 28 year old who sometimes can seem to have the emotional stability of a teenager. I am Christian and was baptised at 18 years of age. I am engaged to be married in March to my wonderful fiancee, Travis, who has seen me through many hard times. I have a beautiful 7 year old daughter and a wonderful 12 year old stepdaughter to be(once we're married). I love my girls very much. My role models have been my mom and my grandma. My grandma passed in February. I miss her.
