    About Me

    I grew up in NY and miss it like crazy sometimes. Spent 3 years in the Pocono Mountains in PA, then moved to AL where I met my husband.We were married on St Patrick's Day of 07, and he was deployed to Iraq on July 4th. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him. I don't like it here in AL, but I know it is the best place for us right now. My animals and my family are my passion, and I couldn't imagine life without them. I am a free spirit with a kind soul, and I love to help people, sometimes a little too much. I am finally a senior in college, double majoring in Sociology and Gerontology. I want to own an assisted living home one day with a pet therapy program. I would also like to run a shelter for abused women, and save the world... but isn't that the dream of every retired beauty queen? ;)

      My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 17. She is now in remission and lives with the journey every day. She had a double mastectomy, and reconstructive surgery. We have had genetic testing, and it looks like she has the carrier gene. I always knew I would get breast cancer, so I am desperately trying to do what I can to minimize my chances...
