I'm Cape Verdean. I finally married after searching for Mr. Right for 30 years! I've lived in MA, Hawaii, and now Texas. I work in the mental health field. I enjoy hiking, reading, snowboarding, and event planning/decorating. In my spare time I refinish furniture. I struggle with maintaining weight loss and I do a lot of emo eating. We would like to have a baby soon so I have to get to a healthy weight and lifestyle. "The power of progress lies in the seat of discomfort."
