My Biography

A Little Bit About Me

Since you have decided to visit my home on the web, I have finally decided to tell you all a bit about myself. So here is my biography!!!

On a cold and frosty December day, I decided to pop into this world early. I was premature, very tiny, but a fighter! I weighed around 5 lbs, So thus I started out my life on a bad note, but I got better and stronger every day. I was born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada on December 13th in 1976.

From that day until I was about 3 I lived in a nice house in the town of Whitefish, with my mother, father and big brother. When I was 3-1/2 or 4 I lost my father to drinking and driving. He left my mother to care for two small children on her own. I never knew my father and to this day I still don't really know much about him. After my father died, sometime my mother met Dan. He loved my mother and so I guess he became a part of our family. My mother didn't remarry him though. We then moved out of that house and into a nice white bungalow, in a little town not far from Whitefish, called Lively. I lived there my entire life until I left for college.

I left for College in 1996 and moved to a town called North Bay. There I studied in a Drafting Technician course for 2 years and managed to pass most of the courses. During my last year of the program I got really sick and didn't end up getting my diploma. So I decided to work for a bit. I worked at a motel for a year and then moved back home. Back at home I was very unhappy and miserable, so I moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba and that is where I am now. I am currently working at the hospital as an Emergency Registration Clerk. It's not what I want to do for the rest of my life, but for now it's paying the bills.

During my life I was involved in many things. First and foremost, was Guiding. I loved Guiding! I was in Brownies, Girl Guides, Pathfinders and later I became a junior leader. I was a leader with a Girl Guide pack and then later a Spark group. I also took piano lessons, was in a marching band and played the soprano trumpet. I took tap dancing and always dreampt of taking ballet lessons and one day learning how to play the violin. I do play the violin/fiddle and I love it, it's one of my hidden talents that not many people know about.

My mom got married in 2001 just before the new year. I am not exactly thrilled about it, but I guess she's happy so I have to be too! I am still not married, my last fiance dumped me for my honesty how sick. I am not looking for a man, I know when the time is right God will send one to me.

Although this is kind of jumpy, it's the basic story of my life (without all the struggles). If you want to learn about some of my struggles with death, anorexia and other issues, please take a look at some of my pages. I thank you for letting me share my life with you. I hope you have learnt more about me as a person.
