I was born October 30th 1973, (that's right the day before Halloween) in North Dakota and from there moved to Germany while I was there I saw just about all that Europe has to offer I highly recommend a trip to Europe. From Germany we moved back to North Dakota and from there we moved to toasty warm Oklahoma(for about 11 months). From there we moved to legendary Iceland where I lived for almost 5 years!! From Iceland we moved to steamy Georgia (no happy medium with the Air Force).

From Georgia we moved to exotic Japan where I graduated from high school. A High School diploma is very impressive to anyone that doesn't know that I got it at an American school in Japan....Let them think I'm smart it don't bother me at all!! I met my very best friend and hermana in Japan and we graduated together ( I graduated about one minute before she did so I say I graduated before her in my class) I still keep in touch with her and she honored me by asking me to be her maid of honor this past summer it was just about the proudest day of my life to stand next to her while she pledged to spend forever with the man she loved. Anyway it was a beautiful wedding and we danced all night.photos here

I also learned to drive in Japan pretty interesting because you see they drive on the left side of the road there. My friend Randy taught me how to drive and boy did he have allot of patients!!! Randy was in the Marine Corps in Japan but now he is no longer in the service and lives in Alabama and is studying to be a CPA. (Hey I'll never have to do my own taxes again)

Anyways.....I definitely recommend a trip to Japan the people are very friendly and every meal is an adventure!!! From there I moved to Florida where I began my college education and prepared to once again move. This would be my final move courtesey the Air Force to Minnesota where I finished my education.

Most people want to know what my life was like as a military brat. I usualy say it sucked but you know I really don't mean that. I mean some things about being a Military Brat I could have very well done without such as moving every two years and having to leave all my friends behind. Though without my past as a brat I wouldn't be the person I am today. I am now a well rounded adult who has had the great privilage of seeing many different cultures. I have learned to be much more tollerant of others and the way they live.

Many of my friends have never been out of Minnasota, I think that is sad we should all be adventurous and do our best to see the world around us their is much more to this world than what is in our own backyard.

I belive that your life is what you make it and if you want to be unhappy you will be. But if you look at your situation as an opertunity to grow and learn you will be a much happier person.

Just bloom where your planted!!!!!

My Most Embarrassing Moment!!!

When I was in high school I had to walk everywhere I went because I had no car. One day I was walking to the Post Office by myself and was walking through the parking lot of one of the military dorms. I stepped on an icy spot and down I fell flat on my back (boy did it hurt!!). Well, falling was bad enough but when I fell there was this Marine guy walking back from his car and he saw me fall. So being the kindly man that he was he walked over to me (still lying on the ground) and bent over asking me if I was OK. Well I said I'm fine but I think I dropped my dignity somewhere. This man was drop dead gorgeous and I just fell on the ice and looked like a total dork. Well he helped me up and introduced himself ( I don't remember his name) but I was way too embarrassed to tell him my name and I thanked him and walked on to the post office walking very carefully!!! Well as embarrassing moments go it wasn't too bad but it was bad enough. (what did you think I was going to say something like I went to prom with my dress tucked into my panty hose or something yea like i would actualy tell you something like that, I don't even know you!!)
