2. Who Am I?
• I live in Fulton, Illinois which is just across the bridge from Clinton, Iowa where I have pretty much always lived…
• I have a daughter named Abigail, who has made me realize that I need not search for the love of my life as I
brought the love of my life into this world…she is almost 3 years old and very vibrant! I don’t even know what I
ever did with myself before she was born!
• We are lucky enough to have a wonderful man in our lives who treats Abi as she deserves…and her mommy too
I am grateful everyday that we found him and that we have a loving family to get us through it all…I am a lucky
woman!
• I am a manager/server/bartender at the Applebees in Clinton and many of my friends are also Applebuddies…in
this I am also lucky!
• Family is important to me…I keep close with my mom and sister and grandma and as close to all of my other
relatives as my busy schedule allows.
• I also attempt to remain close to my best friends whom I have been lucky enough to know and have in my life for
over 10 years now…they are like family to me
• I am messy, erratic, sarcastic, unique and love to laugh…loving life and can’t wait to finish my degree and begin my
career!
• Also, did I mention that I love to read, watch movies, listen to music and go for walks? Well I do especially when I
am doing any of those with friends or family!
• I have been to London and Paris and cannot wait to go back and see it all again and then see more of Europe…the
Eiffel tower is just one of the many beautiful architectural wonders to behold
• P.S. I am very proud of having lost 30 pounds over the last 5 months

8. How would they describe me?
• Those who know me best would probably describe me
as….a good mother, sensitive, stubborn, sort of selfish,
messy, strong, weirdo, funny, forgetful, loving,
compassionate, giggle, goofy, gives a good stank eye,
weakness for the sweets and who knows what else! Those
who know me best watch me grow and change and learn
new things about me all the time and visa versa…it’s a
beautiful thing!! I spent over 2 years unhappy and
struggling to find hope outside my beautiful little girl and I
learned a lot and it helped to shape me…my theory is
pretty cliché but true…life is short…enjoy the moments! Je
pense presque je suis…LUCKY!!! I don’t have a lot of money
but I have all that is truly valuable in this life…anything
else…just ask
