C'est Moi est mon amies




So since you're here I gather you'd like to know a bit about me. I was born in Grimshaw, Alberta 21 years ago. I blame this for much of the way my life has turned out. I grew up on a farm where we raised arabian horses and shelties (shetland sheepdogs). I showed my horses in competitions all over BC and Alberta growing up, I dont remember when i started riding. My two eldest half brothers had moved out my the time i came around, so I really only grew up with my older sister Theresa, and my younger brother Morgan. My Mom was a teacher's aide in an elementary school, as well as a school bus driver. My dad owned a puzzle factory called "Completely Puzzled Manufacturing". I remember it was my job to put together puzzles that had come off the die presses to make sure they still had all their pieces. It was good times. We made the longest puzzle in the world...it spanned half a kilometer and was over 100 000 pieces. It was only about a foot wide though. I don't know if the record still stands or not. Anyways, I started a petting zoo when I was 11 with my sister, who was 14 at the time. We called it "Dreams Can Come True", and we had pony rides, party game stuff, the petting zoo, and stuff like that. It was good fun. We bought 4 ponies and gear, a whole slew of other critters, a truck, trailer, and camper (for overnight trips, like rodeos and carnivals). My sister quit the zoo two years later, and i took over. It never made any money that i remember, but it made enough to pay for the upkeep of the animals and equipment, and travelling costs. I met a lot of very interesting people. I hired my friends to work with me, so it was all good fun. Later, I also got a job at Radio Shack, I worked there for a summer. Then it was the Summer Fun program, in which I got to plan a free service for the kids of Grimshaw, we went on field trips and we played in parks and stuff. Usually we had about 40 kids a day. That was probably one of the best real jobs i have ever had. At the same time, I also managed a campground called "Lac Cardinal park". It was pretty decent. Also, since I was 16, I volunteered every summer as a 4-H camp counsellor for various summers camps (and a couple winter camps). That was where I met Ryan. Then, in 2002 I finally graduated from Grimshaw High, and decided to become a psychologist. Actually, that idea had been there since about grade 7, I have always been the one people come to talk to, so it was a natural step I think. Eventually I'd like to become a hypnotherapist. So, now I'm in my 3rd year at UNBC. You can see a bunch of pics from this time on my pictures page, or just Click Here. That about sums it up. Anyhting else you wanna know? Email me.
