Hi Anne!

I’m sorry it’s taken a few days for me to write back.  I’ve been so busy at work (Mother’s Day is one of the busiest times of the year)  and the days quickly pass by without notice.

Let me answer the questions you asked me.  My birthday is May 19.  I write (or want to write) inspirational romances.  I’ve just completed my first novel and I’m in the process of printing it up and researching book publishers.  I’ve worked at ***** for about a year and eight months, and I’ve been the AM for about 6 months now.  I really enjoy my job and the people I work with are wonderful.

I’ve seen The Princess Bride- a very long time ago.  I thought it was a very sweet movie.  I haven’t seen The Mexican or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon yet.

The only show you mentioned that I watch (or watched) was Quantem Leap.  That was a really good show.  I thought Scott Bakula was handsome.  I still do!  Speaking of sci-fi shows, did you ever watch Alien Nation.  Thats one of my all time favorite shows and I think Gary Graham is handsome as well.

Well, speaking of actors who I’ve got it bad for, I might as well run down my current list (I could tell you every actor in the history of actors who I thought was good looking, but I’d be typing forever!) Right now its Arnold Vosloo, Tim Daly and Mitch Pileggi.

Good luck with school!  I sometimes think about going back.  Taking a couple of courses in writing.  I feel its always good to learn new things.

What kind of books do you read?  I like to excerise too, mainly walking.  I love to walk and I try to walk up to and home from work every chance I get.  I’m fortunate that its only about a fifteen minute walk from my house to my job.  Thats nice that you sing in the church choir.  I cant sing very well.  Oh well, at least my voice dosen’t sound like fingernails on a chalkboard. 

Now I have a couple questions for you.  First of all, how did you become a born again Christian? and secondly, are you currently in a relationship?  Here are my answers:  When I was about eighteen, I was going through a really difficult time in my life.  I started having panic attacks on a regular basis (I was almost painfully shy then) and I even dropped out of school.  I realized then that only God could help me through it all.  I had always been a good kid, but I somehow felt something missing in my heart.  I asked Christ into my heart and  He helped me overcome my anxiety.  I did go back to school and graduated.  I think there will always be a part of me that will be shy, but I’m amazed at how far I’ve come in the past ten years.  And I couldn’t do it without God. 

And the answer to my second question: No.  unfortunately, working almost 40 hours a week leaves little time for relationship hunting.  FYI: *****is not a good place to meet men!  I just want to trust God completely with my love life.  If my future husband is out there somewhere, I trust that God will guide us to each other and bring us together in the most beautiful way.

On that note, I’ll say bye for now.  Until next time, take care and God bless!
