About Andrea

I grew up in Stockton Ca. in a single parent family. my mother was mom and dad and was my hero up until the day she died. My mom had always said that my dad was the love of her life and I finally believed her when after 18 years of being divorce she died 24 hours later after my dad. August 31 and Sept 1 2004 will never be the same for me.

I have worked in both C.C.U. (Cardiac Care Unit) and I.C.U. (Intensive Care Unit). I now work as a CPHT(Certified Pharmacy Technician).  My contribution to the Sanctuary other than support is providing medication information for articles and questions.

Tim and I had a large white wedding in his daughters garden Oct. 5th. 2002 You can read more on the wedding page and view the album. 

Tim and I had been discussing getting a new truck for me for sometime. We both had 2 doors. I had gotten a baby seat in the back seat of mine once and decided that wasn't going to work. We had been trying to get pregnant for 8 months, including one miscarriage. Almost exactly one week to the minute from picking up the new truck I tested positive for pregnancy. I guess the baby was waiting for a 4 door. Natalie was born a month before our first anniversary. 20 months later Loren was born.

We live in a very family oriented  community in Washington. We have 3 cats and 1 dog  Varmit (German shepherd & chow).  My hobbies are reading, our pets, spending time with our 2 children, picking on my husband, motocross and the occasional video game. I  enjoy being an aunt , and I look forward to raising our family with my loving husband. 

We are now pregnant for the third and final time, hoping every thing goes smoothly this time.
