Favorite quote:
"Because, that’s the thing about love, really. No one will love you how you want to be loved, they’ll love you in the only ways they know how. Life throws everyone down drastically different paths so how can we expect everyone to love in the same way? The person you’ll spend your lifetime with will love you in their way and you’ll love in yours, and maybe you’ll meet in the middle and it’ll last. None of us know what we’re doing, you see, we’re just fumbling for matches in the dark. If you’re lucky, you might eventually just strike the right one.â€
Me and my better half. The only thing in this world that keeps me sane, even when hes causing my insanity. (if that makes sense)

I think you thought there was no such place for you, and perhaps there was not then, and perhaps there is none now, but we will have to make it, we who want an end to suffering, who want to change the laws of history, if we are not to give ourselves away." -- Adrienne Rich

about your dog(s):
Miss Molly, a 2 year old who-knows-what-kind-of-mix (looks kind of like a black lab/spaniel to me). Good at fetching, swimming, and licking your face. Has gotten better this past year at keeping all 4 paws on the ground. Still can't take a nice, calm walk, and is still scared of people.
Hailey or "Buttons" (she's going by both these days), a 3 year old boxer/pitbull mix (supposedly. I have serious doubts). Good at being an alarm dog, cleaning up anything that falls on the floor, and snuggling. Bad at meeting new dogs and enjoys harassing the resident cat, Pita.
Pita, who's name stands for Pain In The A**, is a 10 year old American Alley Cat who often deserves to be harassed.
Interests: Adoption, animals, cooking, camping, hiking, swimming, fishing, vegetable gardening, hobby farming, anything to do with my hubby
Favorite music: I like a wide range: country, classic rock, new age, pop/top 40, some hip-hop. I'm not a hard rock or rap fan.
Favorite book: Don't have a favorite right now, but I have been reading a lot more since I'd been out of school. I recently finished "20 things adoptive parents need to succeed" by Sherrie Eldridge and am currently working my way through "Parenting your Internationally adopted child" by Patty Cogen.
Favorite quote: It can be found in my signature
Pic of me on Christmas, sporting a fabulous hat and scarf that was hand-made and given to me by my big sister. She's so talented! That's my hubby behind me.

About your dog(s): Trent will be 2 years old next month in February, and my very first dog.
