About Me

[color=black:de304d822e]I really should be working on my regular job but I'm too interested in playing with the new site. :)

So I thought I'd talk a bit about me if you all don't mind...

I'm Dawn and I'm your normal, average 33 yr old woman living in North Carolina. Hardly. I'm a grieving mom of a cherub. That makes me "special". ;) I'm absent-minded at times, stubborn, too forgiving, silly, and I have my moments of total insecurity. I'm human. I talk way too much. I'm an open book. I don't like to talk bad about others. I don't abide rudeness or cattiness. I've been out of junior high for a long time now and don't wish to behave like I was still there. I don't believe in being a victim. I can't sing but I try to dance. I love to draw. I can shoot better than most men. I can't hold liquor at all so I rarely drink. I might live in the country now but I was raised in the city and on the water. I don't fit any stereotypes. I am incredibly sarcastic. I'm also incredibly creative. That makes me funny only to myself usually. :)

I was supposed to be a pediatrician and was accepted for pre-med, but I got pregnant with Shane so that didn't happen. God has a sense of humor though, I'm working with sick kids anyway! No, I'll never go back to med school, my heart couldn't handle that.

I'm now a web designer who is extremely frustrated with CHERUBS site taking longer than it would take to create a human.

I'm divorced, 6 years now. Not single though, I have an amazing boyfriend, Craig, who is incredibly supportive about Shane and CHERUBS. He couldn't be more supportive if Shane was his own son. And he's smart, funny, handsome, and my best friend. How lucky am I? Craig has twin 12-yr-old boys that I absolutely adore. My idea of a great time these days is hanging out with my 3 favorite guys on earth. I love going to their baseball games and golf tournaments or just hanging out with them. I honestly haven't been this happy since I lost Shane. God has really blessed me to be this happy twice in one life.

My family is mostly in Virginia, though I have an uncle who lives nearby now and I love being near family again. I have 9 spoiled nieces and nephews that I couldn't love more if they were my own kids. I have 2 sisters here and 1 in heaven that are my best friends. My mother is a saint and my dad is well, he's special in his own way. I have a ton of friends and a small group of close friends. I consider CHERUBS members part of my family. I have a very large 3 yr old Lab / Chow dog who runs the house.

I always have a dozen things going on at once and I'm always behind on e-mails. My brain works a lot faster than my hands and I'm famous for leaving entire words out of sentences instead of typical typos.

So now you know me. That's me in the photo, holding a photo of Shane. I took that this week for our Yearbook (go upload yours! In the Album section of our site). [/color:de304d822e]
