... about me...lets see...as far as background goes I grew up in longbeach, ca with my mom and dad(divorced) until I was 16 when my mom decided to move to rhode island. I stayed in California for about a year with my dad until extenuating circumstances led me to the decision to move to rhode island with my mother and sister. I spent the next three years in rhode island where, shortly after I arrived, I met my ex-fiancee. We graduated highschool and spent another year working in new england before we decided to move to florida to join his sister, her husband and their new son who had moved earlier in the year. We purchased a home down the street from his sister and lived in florida for a total of three years before financial troubles led us to sell our home and move to California in the hopes that work and family support would be more abundant. Unfortunately...or fortunatly depending on how u look at it, we dissolved the engagement after living in California for only a few months....that was just over 5 years ago...I am now happily residing in mission viejo, ca, where I have been living for about a year. As far as my professional back ground goes I started working right out of highschool as a florist in a small flower shop in Rhode island when I was 18. After that I was hired as a garden/landscape specialist for a large potato farm that produces potatoes for fritto lay in Rhode island where I was the head of landscape design and garden maintenance for the bed and breakfast, main and sub houses as well as being in charge of setting up produce booths at many local farmers markets. After the farm I became an assistant manager for the dollar tree company for 5 1/2 years. I then worked the late night shift for several years at big lots stocking and resetting store diplays...towards the end of two years I got a second job as an expo for chilis and worked both jobs for about 6 months until I left big lots to work exclusively for chili's where I am currently employed today! I am fun, free spirited and I love to enjoy life to the fullest!
