I'm married to a wonderful man, contemplating children before the clock stops ticking and enjoying life as a first-time home owner. I'm quirky and firmly believe that people should be given the respect to live their lives as they see fit--as long as they aren't hurting other people. I'm an idealist who genuinely still believes that people are good if given the chance, but I've experienced enough of the world to understand that sometimes people simply aren't at their best. My heros are Gandhi, Barack Obama and my mom.
