My name is Jen and I am from Northwest Indiana. I work for a hospital in my area as a CNA while I go to school for my RN degree.
I got married May 17, 2008 to a wonderful man. We have been together since June 2002 and have known each other since March 2002. He is currently licensed as a Journeyman Plumber in Indiana and Illinois, and works in Chicago.
We purchased our home in December 2007 and have just started the renovation process. It's a good home for now, until we outgrow it.
Our "babies" right now are our furbabies. We have a 5 year old female cat named Ami and a 1 year old female Siberian Husky named Avalanche.
Other than that, I am an easygoing, funloving person. I always see the best in people, and I am a very laid back person.
