Day 1- Introduce Yourself

My name is Mandy was born Mandy L. Howarth but now Shorb. I was married in October 23rd of 2004 and Divorced in April of 2007 I decided to keep the last name as I had a lot of things set up by that time with Shorb and didn't see the point in changing it until hopefully getting married again. I have been running yahoo groups for a long time back when they were yahoo clubs. I was born with not knowing my father which has since continued last I knew he lived in Arizona back when he still owed child support. His name is Jack and my mom's name is Rose. I was raised as her being a single parent pretty much all my life but I couldn't ask for a better mom she is one of my best friends.

I am currently 29 will be the big 30 on February 15th of next year but for me age doesn't seem to matter I have gone through a lot in my life that I am not like OMG type like many others have been. I have been an asthmatic for 11 of those years being diagnosed with asthma about the time I turned 18 which my mom was when she was in her 30s. Especially in the last few years my asthma has been a huge struggle for me. I have now been uninsured on any decent health care for over 3 years now. Currently I am unemployed along with my mom searching for work.

I do have a wonderful boyfriend that I've been with for over a year that I met on May 3rd of 2009 his name is Troy. Other than my mom and him my biggest support outside of my yahoo groups is my best friend Adam and Nikki. Adam I have now known for 13 years and Nikki for almost 13 years as well. I am a caring, out going, easy going, enjoy movies, talking on the phone, spending time with Troy and my friends, and enjoy the game nights my friends have.

I love to write and have been writing most of my life. I do enjoy reading which I mostly do while on the bus. I love listening to music. I came to Christ and was saved on December 6th of 2009 and was baptized on February 7th of 2010. I love passionately and believe in showing emotion as I have seen so many things not been said due to one thing or another. I am a romantic and always have been. I have always had an easy way of putting emotions onto the page.
