We met over the Internet in early 2000 when I was doing some research on various disabilities and at that stage it was such a pleasure for me to find a website that was both informative and interesting and had hundreds of links to exactly where I wanted to go. I emailed him to say thanks and basically got an email back that said “so tell me about yourself” and the rest is history.
In April 2003 I came over to New Orleans to visit and we fell instantly and madly in love. Greg proposed to me on May 10th 2003 -- just before I had a tattoo done! Since then it’s been a very steep uphill battle to get Greg and I together. I had to return to SA so that we could get married and I could apply for my visa . Then it was the “hurry up and wait” period on “African Time” and eventually on Valentine’s Day, 2004 I arrived in New Orleans after being separated from Greg for nearly 6 months!
Life is good and I’ve got myself a wonderful, loving husband who I adore and for that I’m extremely grateful and feel very blessed.
So what do you want to know about me? I think I have a wicked sense of humour. I’m a cat lover -- big and small cats. I enjoy movies, reading, having a drink with my friends and I love to travel and have traveled a lot. I enjoy most music (except rap and opera). I enjoy long winter nights and going to bed to the sound of rain splattering against the window and snuggling up to the person I love -- I just don’t like to be cold and just the thought of living where Greg used to live in Wisconsin, scares me silly. I’d be the one saying “dear, what’s this white, slushy stuff on the ground?”
I was originally born in England and moved to South Africa when I was nearly 9 years old. I seem to be getting quite a collection on nationalities and passports :). Weaknesses, well I guess right on the top of the list would have to be chocolate and I just can’t stand people who can go out and buy a slab of chocolate and keep it in a drawer or cupboard for a few weeks and only nibble one little block every now and then. Hey, I live for today -- I may not be here tomorrow to finish it, so I may as well finish it now. I’m not a keen exerciser these days, but am getting myself back into shape slowly but surely.
So that’s basically me. Anything else you want to know you can email me here.
