I married December 5, 1997. I have a son born April 16th, 2001, a daughter born January 26, 2004 and a daughter born November 27, 2006. Currently those relationships take up most of my time but I do plan to return to college soon, hopefully in 2009. I am almost 1/2 way to my Bachelor's Degree.
My faith in God is the most important part of my life followed by my love for my family.
I write because I can't not write but who knows whether most/any of it will ever get published.
