Born January 23, 1960 at 11:20 am.  It was a Saturday morning. Which makes me an Aquarius, born in the year of the Boar. I had one younger sister, she died at the age of 34 on January 2, 1996. I miss her.

Married November 21, 1998 at 3:00 pm to Andrew in front of a priest and a rabbi and 100 close friends and relatives. 

We have no biological children, however we have been raising my sisters 3 children since her death. Candice, born 9/21/83, Natalie, born 1/16/85 and Jacob born 6/17/88.  Natalie has Cystic Fibrosis and will be a senior at Alverno High School, Candice will be starting her sophomore year at UCSC and Jacob will be a Freshman at PHS all in September of 2002.
My biggest accomplishment was running at marathon (26 miles) at the age of 35. My best friends are my pets, all of them past and present, and my husband. 

I spent 10 years of my life living as a single woman on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, which had an incredible influence on my life and who I am now.  I only live in Southern California now because of the death of my sister, and the commitment to raise her children.
