Normal is what people are...until you get to know them.

Why this page exists:

Why, you may ask, do I put all this time and energy into a site dedicated soley to me and mine? In part, this page is for my friends and family who want to know what's going on in my life. And to tell the truth, it's a self-esteem thing...it's a real ego boost to know that all my pictures are hanging out here in cyberspace. Like most American girls, I have a really hard time coming out and saying good stuff about myself, but here I'm making an effort. Think of it as therapy. I will be adding new things on occasion, so please come back as often as you like.

Addition: This is all very out of date. I had it removed, but my fiancee wanted me to put it back up, so he could show me off. Someday I may even do an update.

A deeper insight:
Granted, this is mostly waaay out of date, but some of it still holds true.
