Married: Martin Villegas in July 2003 barefoot and on the WindnSea Beach, LaJolla Ca. (I know it's so Californian) He's a native Californian and a wonderful man, we've been together for 8 happy years. I highly recommend marriage!

No children: I've only had the furry kind. 2 dogs - Mischa a boxer and Savanna a red nosed pit bull (don't tell her she's a pit bull - she doesn't know!) and 1 cat- Rusty.

I've had a great time I have had the opportunity to travel extensively -Europe for 3 months, Fiji, Cook Islands, Tahiti, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Cozumel,Cancun, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Ensenada, Rosarito, Caribbean Islands, Hawaiian Islands- Maui, Ohau, Kauai , most of the USA - loved the Florida Key's. You probably see a pattern here - I love the tropical warm weather.

Tried so many things: rockclimbing, para gliding, hot air ballooning, surfing, skiing and the list goes on.

I am so glad I took an interesting route thru my life and didn't wait to do the things I wanted to do. You just never know what your life will bring.

Newest chapter in my life -
In 2005 I was diagnosed with severe Psoriatic Arthritis. I just don't move the way I used to, fatigue, and pain are a constant, and I just can't do many of things I once could. It has forced me to slow down and smell the roses.

Favorite quote and words to live by: Dwell in possibility- Emily Dickenson.

There is soooo much I still want to do and I look forward to the next 20-30 years.

I wish I could be there for the reunion, but due to the financial and physical impact this disease has had on our lives it just isn't possible.

I wish you all the happiness, love, fun, and adventure in your lives that I have so enjoyed.
