My husband and I are originally from the islands of Guam and Saipan. I've been married to the love of my life for 23 years now. I am 44 yrs. old and have been blessed with 4 beautiful kids. I have two boys and two girls. They are 22 yrs., 19 yrs., 16 yrs., and 5 yrs. old. I really enjoy cooking for my children and my husband, friends and family. We both enjoy entertaining, and always show our guests true "Chamorro hospitality". But we also enjoy our quiet times together.

I've had a passion for collecting recipes, cookbooks, clippings, or just about anything with a recipe on it, for many years now. I've actually been collecting since I was in 8th grade (mid-70's), when I was first introduced to recipes in a home ec. class.

After being a stay at home mom for most of my life, I have gone back to school and I'm now a dental assistant for a clinic on Fort Campbell; helping to give our soldiers a beautiful smile; and I love it!! My husband is the DCSM for the 101st Screaming Eagles; Fort Campbell, KY..... and I'm so proud of him!!! He IS MY TRUE HERO!!

I've decided to include a portion for my swap partners; just some likes and dislikes.....especially with all the swap I participate in. I figure this will kind of help them. I am not a picky person!! I love anything and everything, LOL!! I will try anything once, and maybe even twice..... My favorite colors are burgundy, gold, and olive. The decor in my home contain these colors, to include my kitchen. My favorite scents are pomegranate, gardenia and anything CLEAN smelling. I love apple spice and mulled cider scents for the Fall. I prefer candles with scents for the Fall and Winter season. Fall is my most favorite season of the year. I love hydrangeas, they are my most favorite flower! I am not allergic to anything. I hope this helps some of my swap partners; and If you'd like to know more that I've not covered here.....just zmail me. HAPPY SWAPPING!!

Favorite Foods:

With my husband being in the military, we've traveled and lived in many places and have met many people of various ethnic backgrounds. I've come to sample a wide variety of foods and now have a lot of favorites. I am not a picky eater and will try almost anything once.....but my all time favorites are scratch baked chocolate chip cookies, really great fried chicken, Vietnamese (pho), Korean cuisine and or course, chamorro foods.
