I live in Madison, Wisconsin but I was born and raised in KY. Tried going back to college for a degree in Social work (I already have one in criminal justice) but that will have to wait for awhile as we settle into our new home. I currently run an in-home day care.

I have loved Transformers all my life, and yes, I still watch them whenever I get the chance. Optimus Prime is my favorite (right up there with my obession with chocolate!) I cried like none other when he was killed in the cartoon movie (hey I was only 6) and this past summer I went to see the new movie in theaters three times. My sister thinks I'm a werido because I still like Transformers after all these years but that's part of being a fan of something really good (and its therapy!!)

I have a wonderful husband who is a computer programmer and two kids. Life is currently working out the way its suppost to! I enjoy reading fantasy novels in my spare time along with camping, hiking, swimming, quilting and bike riding. I also write poetry on occassion.
