I was born in Ca. in the 80's. When I was 5 we moved to the desert. I pretty much always hated it. The only good thing that came of that was meeting my best friend when I was 11 who lived right around the corner. I never really did anything fun, I was the rule follower, while my brother was the rule breaker. I feel like my life didn't really begin until I graduated from High School. The first thing I did was get as far away from A.V. as I could. I moved in with my grandma, attended ITT Tech and worked as a bank teller for almost 2 years.
In April 2000 - 2 weeks after I graduated from ITT I got a job at a super fancy engineering firm
(where I still work to this day. And btw, it wasn't really all that fancy. It
was just my first REAL grown-up job). In 2001 - I met my husband. In 2004 - we moved in together. In 2006- we got engaged. In 2007- we got married. In 2009 - we had a baby. In 2012 - we bought our first house.
Those are the highlights of my life. In between I have had a
chance to travel a little, I have had to learn what it takes to be a wife, be a
mom and be a provider. And I still learn
new things every day. I hope to continue living and creating a life that I can constantly look back on and smile.

Going to college was an escape for me too! Then I met my husband at the course I did after graduating. Here's to continuing to smile with your husband, child and your career. Love Ana
