i am my own person – hard to define. i am a mom, i am a wife, a daughter, a friend, and a soldier. i live for finding those little moments of pure joy that make everything else totally worth it. i love many things in this world – my family, my friends, the great outdoors, good books, good music, chocolate, and this country – C A N A D A – the Maple Leaf Forever!
