| About Me: |
| I'm 33. I originally grew up in Xenia, Ohio. I graduated from XHS in 1992 and went to Eastern Michigan University. I started out in Elementary Education, but changed my major. I had done something most of my life in music, so I did some research and discovered Music Therapy. It just happened that EMU had a Music Therapy program. And that is where I completed my Bachelor of Music Therapy degree in April of 1999. I resided in Delaware for 6 months during my internship for my degree. I'm currently working part-time as a Music Therapist in a nursing home and have been there for 8 years. I'm married to a wonderful man named Michael. We became the proud parents to Daniel Arthur on March 20, 2002. We are currently expecting #2! We tried for over 3 years and even went through IVF without success. So this is another little miracle like Daniel was. My future ambition is to become certified to be a doula! |
| Hobbies & Interests: |
| I enjoy reading and watching television. I enjoy bowling. I joined a women's bowling league in Fall 2003. I bowled my first 200 ever on December 30, 2003. I ended the league with a 144 average. I bowled my first 500 series on April 6th, 2004 - a 531. And I ended the last week with a 503. Myke and I are bowling in a mixed couples league for Summer 2004. I bowled my highest 200 - a 212 - along with my highest series - a 563! I also enjoy writing poetry, listening to music, making cards, taking pictures (of course, I'm no professional photographer!), theatre (seeing and acting in shows) and spending time with my husband and son. Recently, at a Music Therapy conference, I made a dulcimer with a cardboard soundboard. (It really does sound great!!) Now, I'm trying to learn to play more songs on it. I finally bought a real wood dulcimer! It's beautiful - made from spruce and mahogony! And it sounds terrific!! |

| Friends & Family: |
| My husband and I met on-line in 1999. We were married in September of 2000. As I mentioned previously, we now have a beautiful baby boy named Daniel. I have 1 sister who is married and has a son, Bryan. My husband and I are also the godparents to my best friend's son, Will, born in July 2000. Another special bond, Daniel was born on Brandy's birthday (my best friend and Daniel's godmother!). |
