about me...
I am a mother, wife, friend, idealist and eccentic.
I live in central Pennsylvania in a village named Lanse. I live directly across the street from my parents, which makes holiday travel about a two minute walk if you move slowly.
My life has taken many unexpected turns along the way, some of them have been choices I have made and some were due to things that have happened to me. Unless you know me well, I don't make a point of sharing the specifics of my life's trials and tribulations, but because of each of these experiences, I am certain there is nothing that I cannot accomplish no matter how difficult it may be. I try to be thankful for my life everyday because l know from personal experience what it is like to get up in the morning as one person and then go to bed as someone completely and irrevocably different.
My next goal is to return to school in more ways than one. I had thought I wanted to go to law school, but I do not want to do that, for many reasons. I would rather become a teacher like everyone else in my family. I hope to get Elementary Education Certification and also my Master's Degree at some point shortly after that.
My life is not what I imagined it might be; which is not to say that I'm unhappy with my circumstances, rather that my ideas and goals did not happen as I originally thought they would. I still spend a good part of my time day-dreaming about the future, but I try not to worry too much about how it might actually turn out.
I believe wholeheartedly in the concept of some Things Happen for a Reason. And, I have come to accept and understand that my path in life will be a challenging one -- thus, the Robert Frost poem referenced within this site.
I met my future husband within ten minutes of logging onto the Internet for the very first time, and we've been together for just over seventeen years now. We've been married for almost fourteen of them.
I am a mother who will passionately tell you that giving birth to and raising her daughter is the absolute best thing she's ever done in this life, bar none.
I have so much left in my life I want to accomplish and experience.
