So...ya clicked on this tab, eh? Interested in knowing a bit more about me? ...Thanks! It makes me feel special that you care :)
My Bio :) -CONNECTICUT! Born and raised in Connecticut...yep, I'm proud to be called a "Yankee" ;) -PUERTO RICO! Lived in Puerto Rico for 2 years as a young girl...I only knew the terms "hola" & "pan" when we moved from CT to PR..."hello" & "bread" are not much of a help when a 9yr old is trying to make friends, lol :)...although my family is Puerto Rican on both sides, I only learned to speak fluent conversational Spanish within the first year of living on the island! -FLORIDA! Moved to Florida as a pre-teen and sadly figured out that my family would NOT be able to go to Disney World every weekend...boo :(...(ha!). I was enrolled in the Clay County school system (yay!) and attended Orange Park Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary, Ridgeview Jr. High (yes...RHS USED TO BE RJHS!), and Orange Park High! (so yes...part of me will ALWAYS be a Raider because I am an alum!) :) -COLLEGE! Decided to attend a 4 yr private Christian university called Oral Roberts University (ORU) in Tulsa, OK. I absolutely loved it and learned so much about life. It was an incredible experience. I was enrolled in the Pre-Med Program and graduated with a Bachelors in Biology and a double-minor in Chemistry and Spanish :). -JESUS! I've been on 3 mission trips between the ages 16-21 yrs old...(teen missionary to Ecuador and El Salvador; team leader of 25 teen missionaries to Costa Rica). I've always been active in my local church. I have a very strong faith in God and desire to live my life to honor Him in all that I do! I am full of love, joy, peace, and hope because Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. :) -FAMILY! My parents are my rock...they love me and have set a tremendous example for me. I have two brothers, three nieces, and one nephew. My family suffered a tragedy about 11 years ago when my younger bro died in a car accident. We miss him every day but we've learned to lean on our faith and eachother! I've got TONS of relatives scattered everywhere in CT, NY, SC, TX, PR, & FL...over 27 1st cousins...(yes, our typical family gathering usually involves about 30 people MINIMUM, lol!) It's awesome!!! -TRAVELING! I LOVE TO TRAVEL! I decided that life is too short. I want to see the world! This past summer I stayed in the USA and visited Asheville, North Carolina to see my best friend in the mountains. My niece, nephew, and I went white water rafting for the first time and loved it! We also toured the Vanderbuilt Mansion...just gorgeous! Last summer I cruised for 4 days to see Key West, FL and Cozumel, Mexico...it was wonderful :). And in 2014, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of vacationing in HAWAII! I spent 2 weeks in Oahu and 3 days in San Francisco. It was totally epic. I've been on a cruise to the Bahamas in '06, 2 wk trip to London in '04, and all over various places in mainland U.S.A. and Puerto Rico. My next big trip? GREECE in June of 2017...WOOT WOOT!!! :D
