I love to travel! So my earliest memories was leafing thru my uncles passport. Looking at all the colored stamps. Listening to all his stories. I believe this is when I contracted wanderlust. I set my sights early. My goal was to visit all 50 states by the time I was 30. I only got to 45. UPDATE summer of 2018 I visited 3 more states so I have currently visited 48/50 states! Can you figure out which ones I’m missing!? I fell in love, got married had 3 awesome boys lost 271 pounds, almost died and now, here I am! I was born and raised in NYC. I married a military man and we lived in various places along the eastern Seaboard. I hate that I had to surrender my NY drivers license and now have a Maryland one. I absolutely love shopping at thrift stores! Some adjectives used to describe me have been artistic, spontaneous, independent, intelligent, adventurous, outgoing, creative.
