A little about me...I am 34 and I have been married for 9 1/2 years. My husband works in the IT field and is a Lay Speaker for our district. We have 4 children. The oldest is 18 and in college, two are juniors in high school and the youngest is a freshman. We have 2 dogs and a cat. I am also someone who has Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Both are invisible illnesses. I was diagnosed in 2000 after experiencing symptoms pretty much all my life. All these fancy word to say I pass out unexpectedly and I can have an extremely fast heart beat 120 to over 200 beats per min. in some cases. My heart rate has been clocked at 195 beats per min. In 2000, I was a newly wed, just a year away from graduating with my law enforcement degree and I had just finished up my social work degree. I had plans to obtain my Forensic Psychology degree, but God had other plans for me. I went through the stages of grief. I lost the life I knew and gained a totally new life. It totally redefined who I was. Everyone experience's something they didn't plan for in life and #1 thing has gotten me through it has bee God. He's been there at every twist, turn, and straightaway I have in life, but something else I find is laughter, music, and family/friends. God created us with joy, laughter, song & love so we can praise him in good & in times of trial. Don't shut yourself into a hole if you are going through a rough patch. You need a support system around you. Satan will try to work at you until you are at your wits end.

Anyway, some other things about me....I am planning on working on my tourism degree here soon. I have 2 siblings younger than I am. My sister is married with 3 children and a golden retriever who I am trying to get semi-trained. She is a bit hyper. =-)My sister will be a nurse in 2 years. She just started her clinical's. My brother is single with an 8 year old golden retriever. My brother drives a semi. My father is also a semi driver and my mom is a social worker.
