Are you married? If so, when is your anniversary?

No

How did you meet your spouse/partner?

before attending high school in Japan I went to school in Arizona and my best friend at the time had a cousin in Flagstaff who went to high school with Matthew. Well the cousin and I became really great friend and then I met him through her 3years later after returning to the states.

What colleges have you attended? What degrees have you earned?

Arizona State

Do you own a business? If so, what is the nature of the business?

No

Do you have any pets? If so, how many and what kind?

Yes 4cats 1 dog and a fresh water fish tank

If you have served (or are currently serving), how many years have you served?

no not yet I plan on finishing College then after I get my DVM. I hope to join the army and be a Veterinarian for them for at least 20 years.

What do you miss most about Okinawa?

everything

Where have you lived since high school?

Utah, and Arizona

Tell us about yourself; what have you been up to since graduation? (Regardless of how famous you are please keep this to 200 words or less!)

Well I moved to Logan, Utah where I attended Utah State University wearing nothing but sandals and flip flops all fall long. So naturally when the snow started falling, I high tailed it back to Arizona. Oh how I love the valley of the sun.
So I transferred to ASU and got a job at the Emergency Animal Clinic (EAC). I've been paying my way through college and trying to feed myself all at the same time. That I realized taking a step back and enjoying life might be wise choice. Thats when I quit my job took a break from school. And, made the best friend ever. It was the greatest summer ever,"The Summer of Lucinda."
I have this 1966 Chevy Corvair; and my girl friend, Lily, and I drove up and down Arizona's little highway towns. It was a summer of no rules and no worries. (it's so great we wrote a screenplay and soon it will be an ind movie.)
Well as time moves so fast that you lose track of reality. I jolted back to the real world and got a job with Caremark, met Matthew (the man of my dreams). Got laid off in a mass layoff of 600+ people. then went back to working at an Animal Clinic.
I've been with Matt for 3 years plus, no kids, no major bill and just continuing with school.
I still have my classic car, plus a titan truck that I just enjoy so much. We go camping every chance we get. Can't wait til I buy a House.

Well thats about it hope it wasn't to long.
