I am a Leo, yet, an introvert. Mess with me or loved one, promises the lion. Proceed with caution! I am the girl who sits back in a group setting and let's the "extrovert" (aka Fred) take over the conversation. I enjoy the company of family and friends, and will add in my two cents when felt necessary.

  Friends have told me that when we first met, I am intimidating, quiet, reserved. Realistically, I'm evaluating body language, tone of voice, character, deciding whether or not I may consider you a friend within the first few seconds. I go on my gut instinct, which hasn't let me down yet. As my friend, you know that I have a morbid sense of humor, I like to be goofy, I enjoy time together, always putting effort in being supportive in times of need.. GET IN THE CAR! When you cry, I fight to hold back my tears, and hug you tight. You don't want to see me cry... I am an ugly crier!! I may not keep in contact as often as I should, but when I do, it feels like we just seen/spoke yesterday. I value your friendship, and want it to be everlasting.

  I am well known for my attention to detail. Apparently, I have OCD...always cleaning the house, making sure everything is in place. I enjoy being home, somewhat of a homebody. Spending time with Fred and the kids after a long day, is the highlight. I like a good cold beer, blaring loud music in the car and singing along, love the dance floor when there is a great tune. I play a mean game of UNO or black b$&@!. If I'm losing, I still sport a poker face. If you catch me at a good time, an indepth conversation can carry on for hours. I enjoy making people laugh, and laughing so hard it makes my face hurt. Nothing like a good water fight in the middle of a shift right?

   I am a daddy's girl, and given an opportunity, will still crawl up in his lap. I was born a "Mash" so passing gas is not uncommon. My kids are one of my biggest accomplishments, and although they are now older, I still worry about them regularly. I have a tendency to take things to heart. I am at least 10 minutes early, losing my mind if I'm going to be late! And please don't forget..... I am ALWAYS right.

  I apparently discuss disgusting things on a regular basis. Being a nurse for over 16 years, leaves me with no filter, swearing like a sailor. It is not uncommon to be sitting in front of a delicious meal, and discussing bowels, bodily fluids, or functions, unaware that you are turning green. I am proud to be a nurse, and when getting home heading straight to the bedroom for a few minutes to regroup, I still take pride in my career helping others.

 I am one hell of a lucky girl to have found Fred. It takes a special man to be with me, and he is the perfect fit. When I love someone, I love them hard. Spooning and rubbing chest hair is my safe place (thank God Fred is a Sasquatch)! I am elated to becoming Fred's wife, and having all of you there to share in our special day. I love you all!

  I like to describe myself as bursting with”awesomicity”. The majority of people don't understand that “awesomicity” isn't something that can easily be seen. It’s extremely subtle, only those that are highly attuned to the forces of nature can sense such a force of awesomeness. Ask Ang, I’m sure she would agree! I like to think that I have a good sense of humor and I am definitely an extrovert... trying to get along with everyone. I'm happy- go-lucky, loud, and at time obnoxious. I tend to open my mouth and speak my mind, sometimes, hurting people without realizing it. I always try to make people laugh…or at least smile.

  I have had great opportunities in my life to prove myself, being a soldier, a police officer and a firefighter...I consider myself courageous. I believe in helping others and doing my best for the world. I'm definitely NOT perfect!! I can be very short tempered.  At times I can be more moody then a teenage girl. Overall, I am kind, generous, caring and honest. I am impulsive, a dreamer, adventurous, and a well-travelled person. Often finding myself sun tanning with SPF 60 smeared in my 9 inches of chest hair under a palm tree on a beach somewhere…

   Known as a “masterdebater” by my friends, I like to have valuable discussions and debates about current issues. Being displaced frequently in my life due to my career, I have lacked keeping in touch with many friends that I established great connections with in different stages in my life. Although I don’t keep in touch with you regularly, please know I have great memories of you,that will stick with me until the day I die.

   Generally, I am not a good listener, as I am probably daydreaming while you speak. Accused as having a short attention span (ADHD)….SQUIRREL!  I can see where I would like to have purple in my bedroom next time we paint..orange is my favorite color..is that another SQUIRREL??

   I am rough on the outside but if you weed through all that chest hair, you will find a big heart and a kind and gentle soul. Even though I live far from my home town, I am a family man throughout. I enjoy family activities, making as much effort as I can to spend time with my son, and two step-children. I was very excited to learn Angie had 3 kids when we met, and immediately began minivan shopping.

   I am a loving partner and believe honesty and loyalty are best policy. I believe on taking on whatever life throws at us and taking it on together. I protect those I love at all costs. I am truly blessed to have met Ang. She compliments all that I am, and helps me with what I am not. I have never felt so complete, and cannot wait to make her my wife!
