I just finished up my sophomore year in college. This fall I plan to transfer to SIUC majoring in Conservation/Natural
Resources. I would really like to work for the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources or something similar to that.
Most of my free time is spent with my boyfriend, Brandon Murray. Right now he is at Camp Pendleton in California
(School of Infantry). His graduation date is June 29 and I am looking forward to him being back
for a while!
I also enjoy scrapbooking, gardening, traveling, going to country music concerts, and spending time with my family.
I work at Menards in the Garden Center and I really like it a lot.

During our time in San Diego, we went to the world famous San Diego Zoo on Friday after Brandon's graduation. Friday
night we packed into the car and headed to 'Old Town' to eat; we ate at a fun Mexican restaraunt in historic downtown.
On Saturday, we toured the U.S. Midway, a battleship that was used by the Navy for many years. After that we headed
for the beach! At Mission Beach, we waded in the freezing water, worked on our sunburns, chased giant seagulls, and
shopped on the boardwalk. It was a fun trip, but the best part was getting to bring Brandon back to Illinois with
us for his 10 day leave!

After 13 weeks of rigorous training, Brandon was finally done with boot
camp! Me, my mom, Brandon's parents (Dave & Cindy) and his sister Taylor all went to San Diego for graduation.
