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!
Debbie and I in 1975
Debbie was 1 1/2 and I was 2 1/2
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.
