| Background (the short version!) I was born in Portsmouth, NH in 1973. I was adopted by Larry and Judy. My sisters Debbie (born 1974) and Jean (1976) are not adopted. We grew up in Northern Va. about 30 min. outside of D.C. When I was 6 my dad Larry was killed in an accident. My mom married my dad Howard P. in 1980 and he adopted my sisters and I. So I have been adopted twice! :) HP had a son from a previous marriage, my brother, Troy, who is 5 yrs older than I am. Now that I am almost 30, I know I have a pretty neat family. I met Dru in 1994 and married him in 1998. We moved to NC and we love it here! |

| I love the ocean and the beach! Over the past few years I have developed a love of lighthouses. North Carolina is a great place to be if you are interested in lighthouses! One of my favorite places on the web is the Lighthouse Depot. They have a loads of neat lighthouse stuff and info! |

| I enjoy reading, but since I am now a full time student in addition to working full time I have very little time to read for pleasure. One of my favorite authors is Steven King. Some of my favorite books by him are his Gunslinger/Dark Tower books and Hearts in Atlantis. My favorite of all time would probably be The Talisman. I recently read J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord fo the Rings series. I also had the opportunity to see the first movie, and I am looking forward to seeing the rest as they come out. I also enjoy John Irving books. I have read the Harry Potter books and re-read them if I want to escape into a book but don't have a lot of time. (I probably shouldn't admit that on a web page, but oh well!) |

| More about being adopted: When I turned 18 I decided I wanted to try to find my biological mother. With my mom's help I did and I found out from her that I had 2 half sisters. One is almost 3 years younger than me and one is almost 7 years younger. |

| Last year my younger 1/2 sister, Sarah, contacted me. I have had a wonderful time getting to know her. She has twin boys and lives with her husband in NJ right now. He is in the military and they move around a lot! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| My other 1/2 sister, Lisa, recently contacted me also. I have not had as much time to get to know her and I look forward to the chance to meet both of them in person sometime. I don't know much about my biological mother. I know almost nothing about my biological father. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
