A Bit About Me

My name is Jennifer and I was born in Houston, Texas on April 9, 1984. I'm a Christian, a student, a sister, a daughter, a registered Democrat (for the next year...I voted for Rev. Al Sharpton in the democratic primaries) and a George W. Bush supporter. I long to be a wife and a mother but I'm entertaining myself with school and life until marriage and a family rolls around.

I reside in Texas where I'm going to school for a degree in Graphic Design and Advertising. I will graduate in May of 2006 and plan on attending graduate school at Coventry University in jolly ol' England. I would, one day, like to teach at the University level. (If I can fit that around raising my babies and being a wife...which is my main ambition in life.) Be sure to check out my Man Page to read more about that.

I am currently single and focusing on school and my art. I'm a published author and a painter. I'm working on getting my first group of paintings together to show in a gallery! If you would like to read my work, or see my art, please feel free to ask and I can share it with you.

I am living with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Costochondritis and PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome. My MS pretty much decides what it wants to do with my body on a day to day basis. But, between sleeping, doctor appointments and school, I do manage to find some free time. I enjoy reading, writing, painting, shopping, quilting, and working on my website. I also run a graphic design business.

My Family

Joey (17) is my only brother. He is a competitive fencer and an all around fun brother to have. He continues to whip my tail in whatever video game we play. I've seen a lot less of my car since he turned 16, but thanks to him it's getting some much deserved pimping. With a style that says, "Yes, I just walked out of Abercrombie and Fitch," he attracts all the ladies. He's also really great with little kids and I can't wait until he's a father! Joey has mad guitar skilz. He can pick up anything after one listen. It's wild.

Sarah (15) is my only sister. She is a competitive gymnast and a competitive fencer. She's also a great drummer in search of a punk band. My sister is crazy! Sarah has a very unique style that's part punk, part princess and part toddler. She's a hottie and she knows it. She wants to graduate early so she can go to college and move out of the house. I know one thing for sure...she will never have to by herself a drink in a bar. She's into the indie punk scene which kind of scares me.

My parents are wonderful. My father (48) works in oil and my mother (42) owns her own financial business. Both of them have made many personal sacrifices over the years to offer their children all the opportunities this world has to offer. They have been happily married for 22 years. I think both my parental units are ready to have all their kids grown and out of the house. But I also know they are looking forward to having grandchildren they can spoil. My dad enjoys cigars, winemaking, and boat drinks. He's a huge Jimmy Buffett fan. My mother enjoys working in her backyard and taking care of her pool. She listens to hiphop and top 40. (It's scary. I think my mother is the only mother in the world who would sign along to "Move" by Ludacris when on a road trip.) She's so cool! I'm close to both of my parents, but I see us getting even closer once I move out, and once I have babies of my own.

My Babies

Ditto Head (84...in dogs years) is a black basenji. Basenji's are from Africa. (They are the type of dogs that we see carved in the Egyptian pyramids.) Ditto is one crazy dog. We rescued him from a puppy mill and he was very sick as a puppy We didn't think he was going to make it. Much to our ~~dismay~~ delight, he pulled through and is now as sweet as can be. He was trouble in his kiddie years, but now that he's grown up, he's charming and sweet. The only problem is that Ditto thinks he's a 60lbs lap dog. He's the reason we have bruises on our thighs. If you need a good cry, he is the dog to cry with! He will snuggle right up with you and stay as long as you want him to.

Lady Margaret Thatcher (63...in dog years) is a Yellow Labrador Retriever. Her distinguished name matches her background. She is the daughter of a prize (best in show) mother and a prize father. She was born in Alvin, Texas but claims that she didn't get to meet Nolan Ryan. Maggie dog is always ready to wag her tail and come running when you walk in the door. She is never without a smile on her face to go with her big, beautiful, brown eyes.
