The People I LoveThroughout my whole life, my family and my friends have been the most wonderful, honest, caring group of people that anyone could ever hope for. They've trusted me with everything from coming home on time to their deepest, darkest secrets, and I've tried to repay their love and devotion by being the best daughter, niece, aunt, cousin, and friend that I can be. The people you see on this page are the true essence of who I am. Without each and every one of them, my world wouldn't be the happy, loving place that it is now. I love them all with everything I am, and I know they love me too.

My Family
My mom and dad are my best friends. They are kind,
generous, loving people who would, and have, given thier
world for me. They have faced some very trying times
since they were married, and have always managed to
come out of it better people than they were before. I
have learned many valuable lessons from them, both about
life, and about love. I owe them my life. This is
my mom,Doris, and my dad, Ricky.
My niece Karla, 10, and my nephew John, 8. 
This incredibly handsome fellow is my brother, Ralph. I don't get to see him as much as I'd like, as he lives with my real father and step-mother in another town, but he's still a big part of my life. He's a junior in high school this year, and of course, he's a MAJOR babe magnet! He loves drawing, dancing, music, and last semester he scored big time and brought home STRAIGHT A's! My little bro, Ralph, 17.

For the past eight years, my life has been filled with the
love and wonder of three little girls. They're constantly
pulling me in 50 different directions, wanting one thing
after another, and NEVER letting up about anything.
They're also three of the most beautiful, smart, creative
little girls you'll ever find, and I love them more
than words can express. Pictured to the right is me with
my niece Karla, and my cousins Kelsee, 5 (in front), and
Heidi, 7. Below is my other cousin Courtney, 8.
Courtney, Heidi, and Kelsee are all sisters, but they're
as different as night and day. Court, with dark blonde
curls and a MAJOR attitude, is a tomboy, while Heidi,
who's got straight-as-a-board brown hair, is a prissy,
feminine little showgirl. Kelsee's sort of a combo of
her older sisters with a dark, curly mop of hair. You'll
most likely find her rollerblading with lipstick on. *grin*
Zackary is my good friend Michelle's son. He's another one of the light's of my life. He's not TECHNICALLY family, but Zack's grandma Vickie (my Aunt Vickie) and my mom are best friends, and their daughters (Michelle and I) are friends, and we all consider each other family. I wasn't there the day Zack was born, but I plan to be around for the rest of his life, anytime he needs me. This is Zack, 3 months.

My Friends
What would life be without friends? Mine would be much
harder, and a LOT more lonely if I didn't have my friends
to count on. Kristal, who I grew up with and have even
shared a dorm room with (yikes!) is the most real, honorable,
generous friend that I've ever had. She's been there
for me when I was at my worst, and I'll be forever in
her debt. I LOVE YOU KRISIE! Ryan... OH BOY, what can
I say about this one?!? Ryan and I have been best friends
for several years now, and at one time we were even
married... *GRIN*.. Yes, you read right, we were married.
But that was a long time ago, and we've each moved on, and
we're finally where we should be. Ryan is probably the
most intelligent, focused, determined person that I know,
and he's the kind of friend that let's you know when you're
not being your best. He's honest and wise.... I love him.
Mike has been a friend since waaaaaay back. He's shy,
quiet, and soft spoken on the outside, but when he opens
up he's one of the funniest and craziest people you'll ever
meet. Pictured above is me with Kristal, Mike
(in back), and Ryan.
