Things I like: To eat, eat, and eat I love food!, When my daughter comes home, spending time with family and friends, how Fernando spoils me and surprises me, tea with my Mom, my Dad for all that he is, inheriting two of Fernando's children, my puppies Bebe and Gracie, girl time with family and friends, Fernando's massages, talking to my cousin Robyn, when my daughter Liz won Miss Massachusetts Teen, vacations, Friday nights, traveling, a good hard laugh, surprises, wrapped presents, the beach, dancing, all day movies (romantic girly ones), couples nights out, playing games at home, long walks, hot baths, FOOTBALL lots of it, sleeping late on Sat and Sundays, amusement parks, fairs with candy apples, candy stores and bakeries, merry go rounds, yellow tulips and pink roses, water parks, hiking, bugee boarding in the ocean, trick or treating, doo wop music, snow storms, Christmas stockings, being healthy, cooking and baking, Easter and Christmas, holidays partys and barbeques at home with the whole family, hot sunny summer days, drive ins, hot chocolate on cold days, memories of all the years of dance, and last but certainly not least is IRON BRIDES and my new FRIENDS!

Things I dislike: Not having my daughter live in MA and not be able to see her, too much work and not enough time for family and friends, being hurt or sick, Monday mornings, kids and adults having homework, lactose intolerance, my cousin Robyn living so far away, not enough money for vacations, when everyone forgets about the elderly, when people don't thank you, when I'm starving, when people do not consider your feelings and really hurt you, and most of all animal cruelty!

Favorite childhood memory: Playing outside on Rose Ave with my cousins and neighborhood kids all day 'till dark, in the pool, skateboarding, sledding, kick ball, trick or treating, or whatever and not worrying about anything, and enjoying all four seasons of New England.

Favorite Iron Brides Moment: Several ~ Meeting Fernando at the top of the mountain, meeting Sasha, and when Julia fell off the banana boat!

Additional Information: My favorite musical is Mama Mia, I am addicted to sugar, I would love to be a pastry chef and also create and design candy products for Hershey chocolates, my favorite inspirational shows are Joel Osteen, Charles Stanley, and Marriage Today with Jimmy and Karen Evans.

My advice to the whole world would be to live every minute as if it were your last and cherish cherish cherish your children for they will grow up before you even realize what happened! Love who is in your life now and not after they are gone. Strive for better in all ways, and use your money for making memories with the ones you love not materialistic things. AND BY GOD LOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR GOD!
