I live in Connecticut, US but originally from London, UK. I moved here to be with my husband (then fiance) whom I met on the Internet in 2001.
We have four beautiful animals. Gideon - an 11.5 lb chihuahua (and still growing!) and our three kitties; Piper, Lily and Silas.

One of my biggest hobbies right now is Recipe Zaar, collecting recipes, recipe books etc and of course, cooking. Particularly baking. I am currently trying to incorporate new foods into my diet and having fun experimenting. I also enjoy going to church, reading, and taking photos. I am a Christian actively trying to serve God and was saved Jan 1st 2003.
