About me

I live with my husband Troy, and our two cats, Jacob and WilyKit, in the good ol' city of Worcester, MA. No kids yet, but we've got one in the making!  I'm so excited to start a family- I've wanted a baby for a long time, and I know that Troy's looking forward to being a father.  It's been a wild ride, this pregnancy!

 

I have two younger brothers, and a younger sister. The picture down there is of all of us at our wedding in July 2007. From left to right, it's Garry, Sandra, Troy, me, and then Adrian. I really like this picture a lot because it shows us all dressed up, and we just don't take pictures together much anymore. In fact, I found it very hard to find recent pictures of me just for this website...

 

 

Troy's my sweetie. He and I met online and hit it off immediately. Who says that online dating stuff doesn't work? It was your typical love story- boy winks at girl, girl emails boy, boy and girl have amazing date after amazing date... time passes, boy proposes to girl, boy and girl get married on 07/07/07.

 

I have the best car in the world. Olivia is a 2005 Toyota Prius complete with navigation. I bought her on eBay! It was scary, buying a whole car online, but it was well worth it. When I was driving an hour each way to work every day last year, she ROCKED on gas mileage. I was pulling about 50 miles per gallon, even in the winter. Livvy doesn't have to go as far now to get me to work, but that just means I'm buying gas even less often! Hybrids rule. Troy has one too, in silver, named Laurel. We have the same car, the same phone, and the same computer. It's a little sick.

Check out this ring... When Troy proposed to me, it came as a surprise (the timing was earlier than we'd discussed), but the ring was one I'd picked out myself. It's a puzzle ring, which means it's made of interlocking rings. The folks at Crystal Realm have some really great designs, some really beautiful stuff. One of the reasons I think this ring is so pretty is that it looks like a Celtic knot, and it goes fabulously with the wedding ring.

But enough about stuff. I'm starting to sound like 80s Madonna. "Cuz we are liiiiiving in a material world, and I am a material girl, you know..."
