I am 32 years old, a Navy wife and Mother of 3.. I met my Husband Jeremy when I was just 16 years old, but married when I was 19. Shortly after he decided to join the United States Navy to help provide for his family and has been in for 12 plus years now. Our daughter Taylor is now 12 years old, our son Dakota is 9 and our son Logan is 5. We have endured many challenges and obstacles in the last 13 years, but we have managed to always make it through. Life can definitely throw some curve balls!

As time had gone by I was mostly a stay at home mom and Navy wife who worked here and there and even tried home based businesses. Money has always been tight and has never been easy for us, but I managed to stay home with my kids more then anything. But once time had gone by I started to realize that I wasn't doing anything for myself. All I was, was a mother and wife. I had let part of myself hide for so long.

Growing up I was always into being creative and enjoyed drawing, so I had always taken art classes through school and really enjoyed them. All this was lost once I decided to get married and have a family. They came first, not to mention I didn't think I would do anything in the future that had anything to do with art. Times of course have changed in the last 13 years which then requires us to change with them. Two years ago I decided to go to college and this was a huge step for me. I always fear college and never thought I would need to worry about it, that I could get by with what I could. Well, that obviously is not how it has turned out. Life is unpredictable in many many ways. Since I was going to get an education and spend all this money, I'm going to do what it is I have a passion for. Otherwise I just thought it was a waste of my time, because why should I just settle? This past July I graduated with my Associates in Web Design and Multimedia. It was a long two years and boy was I so happy it was over. Well, after looking into what it would take to get my bachelors, I saw that there are only a few more classes I need so decided to return to school to receive my Bachelors in Visual Communications. I will hopefully be starting classes sometime in late 2009 if all goes as planned.
