About Me
I can't imagine life without my husband. He is always there for me, no matter what. I love him unconditionally, and he the same with me! *I graduated college in May of 2008 with a degree in Elementary Education an emphasis in creative writing and a minor in psychology. I work at Sylvan Learning Center and I love it. Praying for a teaching position to come along soon! *I love my pets--we have 2 dogs and 2 cats; photography, reading and writing. I like long road trips; but I also love living in Maine and I wouldn't give it up for anything. *My husband and I are TTC Baby D. #1!

- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Abilify Somewhat Helpful
- Couldn't stay on the higher dose because it interrupted my sleep pattern too much. The lower dose didn't do anything.
