About Me
Who am I?
I am most recently a mom of two. My beloved son, Aiden, was born on May 19, 2005 and my adorable daughter, Alina, was born July 2, 2008. I am really enjoying being a stay at home mom, but please do not think that I am just sitting around playing with my kids (although that is the fun part of it). I am learning and teaching them sign language. I also enjoy getting together with various moms and kids for playdates. I just love being a mom!
I am a wife. I love my husband, Chris, with all my heart and feel so lucky to have met him in 1990. Our wedding was October 8, 2000 at Douglass College where we met. We love the outdoors, hiking, biking and camping. We try to go on a camping trip every year and would like to visit every state. You can read about each of our trips in the travel category.
I am a sister. I have two brothers, Joe and Jeff. Joe has given me two neices, Keirstie and Brielle, and one nephew, Joey, who Chris and I love very much and they all love Aiden and Alina too. Jeff is making me (and the rest of the family) very proud having graduated from Drexel University and working on his Masters there as well.
I am a teacher. I currently teach Web Design at Mercer County Community College. I have been teaching web design courses there since September 2001. I have also taught PreSchool and Elementary School. I guess you could say my kids are in trouble if they don’t like learning!
I am a student. In addition to attending Douglass College (as an undergraduate) and The College of New Jersey (for my Masters), I have taught myself (with the help of my brillant husband) HTML, CSS and how to create web sites. My latest endeavor is this blog and learning sign language to teach to my kids.
I am a friend. I have been able to hang onto some friends from high school, Kadri and Stephanie. We had gotten married all around the same time and we have had our first borns all within a year and a half of each other. Kadri has the 2 most adorable little girls, Kaili and Amelia, and Stephanie has a little boy, Lawson, who is the spitting image of his father.
Douglass College has been a great place for me to secure many friends (as well as a husband). Early on I met my roommate Purvi who now has 2 beautiful children, and a friend that is very special to both Chris and I, Heath. Later I befriended some wonderful women, Tara, Fiona and Liz who I still keep in contact with.
Another friend of mine, Leslie has the cutest daughter, Abigail. Interesting enough Leslie and her husband Michael both went to Rutgers University at the same time Chris and I did although we did not meet until after we all graduated. We do enjoy getting together every April to attend Cook College’s Ag Field Day and Douglass College’s Folk Festival. We enjoy taking the kids and hope the tradition lives on through the years.
