Chris and I married on November 6, 2004 in Winter Park. We have been together for nine years now and sometimes it still feels like we just met!!

I attended nursing school and obtained my nursing license in 1993. I worked in many different specialties but my favorite was the ER at Winter Park hospital. I met Chris in 1999 and we have been together since. Two months after our wedding he was offered a job in Virginia. We moved to Chesterfield Virginia outside of Richmond in March 2005. We have a beautiful home in a small "Norman Rockwell" type neighborhood with tons of kids. This is great now since we have a little girl named Alanna. She is 17 months old and is the best thing that has ever happened to me outside of my husband. I have been accepted into the LPN to RN transition program here in Virginia and started the program last semester. I have been an LPN for 16 years but having a child has inspired me to further my education. It is going to be a long 18 months but will be well worth it in the end. After I graduate we plan on having another baby and possibly moving back to New Smyrna Beach where my parents reside now. We really miss all of our friends and families back home and of course the beach! I also have a small photography business that I have just started. After I graduate I will be trying to make that a success since that is my true passion!! Overall I would say Life is Good! I definitely had my years of fun but now love the journey of motherhood!! I hope to make it to the reunion and if not I hope you all have an absolute blast reuniting!!!

The biggest thing that stands out in my memories personally was being on the Boys Varsity soccer team. Most of the guys embraced it. What was really funny was the reaction on the faces of one of our opposing teams when "they let a girl" score on them!! It was a great moment!!
