My adventures began many years ago, on April 21, 1998, when I went on a blind date with the ever-adventurous John Verley - skydiver, avid hiker, and now, my loveable husband! I have chronicled those adventures in my on-line "travel-blog" called Naked in the Woods - A Journal of Adventures.

When I'm not in the outdoors, I spend a lot of my time working.  I work for JPMorgan Chase (former Bank One) as an Access Database Specialist.  I have been with Chase for 12 years.

In addition to that, I have done some freelance web design.  I earned my Certificate of Completion in Web Development in May 2007.  Some of the sites that I have created (aside from Arizona Hiking Trails, of course) are:

* Chayil Financial Services (now defunct)
* Instrumental Band - Music For All Occasions
* Thomas Family Pages

My other hobbies include digital photography (using my Nikon D80) and scrapbooking. 

I am also a Weight Watchers member. Weight Watchers is a wonderful lifestyle, and I have lost an incredible amount of weight on the program.

I am actively involved in the Breast Cancer 3-Day.   Please click here to read about it.

But my biggest and best project of all is being Mom to such a Great Kid!
