All About Yours Truly

My name is Mandy, I am 31 years old and I live in a (very) small town in PA with my 10 year old daughter, Maya, and the love of my life, Pete.

I am divorced (well, almost) from my daughter's father, but we have an amicable relationship and my daughter sees him all the time.

I currently work for a company that does fund-raising for various non-profit and political organizations. I am hoping to go back to school, and I am looking into nursing programs in the area. I also do photography on the side, mostly weddings and parties. I am also in the very beginning stages of starting a small biz, selling home made natural soy candles and eco-friendly, reused and upcycled homemade jewelry.

I love being outdoors, kayaking, hiking, and biking. I HATE winter with a passion, and hope to move out west someday. I love to read, I love photography, movies, spending time with my daughter and BF. I've also been getting interested in cooking, and I love my wok.

I'm not religious, but I love a lot of the Zen Buddhist philosophies.

My daughter, Maya turned 10 in October. She is the most amazing kid EVER. She is smart, funny, a little goofy, active, talkative, kind. She loves to read, especially Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson series. She has 2 pet bunnies, Percy and Fluffy, who are a handful and keep us all busy! She loves being outdoors, swimming, biking, hiking, climbing. She has an incredible imagination and loves to write.

Pete is the most amazing, compassionate, caring person I know. He is mellow and laid back, loves to be active... running, golf, hiking, climbing. He also likes to read and snuggle and watch movies. We have the best conversations, we love to argue politics and can be pretty competitive playing games, like scrabble and backgammon and Wii.

My life is pretty simple and yet pretty crazy at the same time!
