Christine

I am a 30-something who lives in Bellevue, Wash., while my husband, the CDR, serves in the U.S. Coast Guard aboard an icebreaker stationed in Seattle.

I have two children, the too-smart-for-his-own-good, three-year-old Mo; and the nine-month-old, almost-crawling Kel.

I am also the proud mother of a 3-year-old Vizsla named Clive and I drive a Toyota Sienna named Hagrid.

I am currently a stay-at-home mom, but by profession I am in public relations; my specialties are writing, editing, and event management.

Right now I'm on hiatus from the Bread Loaf School of English, part of Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. I'm pursuing a M.A. in English, focused in Dramaturgy.

I like potatoes of all kinds: mashed, hash-browned, French-fried, you name it.

And if it were socially acceptable and healthy, I would watch television, movies, and theatre performances all day, every day.
