I'm Cari, a 30-something (cause really, who is counting after 30?) year old girl from Guam who embraces life and all it has to offer.
My parents loved to travel so they naturally took my siblings and I everywhere. I have been flying on airplanes since the womb and one of my first memories (I must have been five at the time?) involving international travel was at a restaurant in the Philippines. Which brings me to my next love...
Food
I love to eat and funnily enough, many of my fondest travel memories center around the incredible food I've eaten. Food is a big part of my culture (seriously, a "family bbq" on my island consists of two long tables overflowing with food and no less than 75 relatives) so naturally, food ties in to anything I enjoy. Since I love food and travel so much, I had to find the perfect mate who would share this passion, which brings me to my next love...
Steve
Steve was one of the first guys I met in college. We were friends, that is, until I sank my claws into him and claimed him as mine. :) Seriously, we were just friends but a killer marketing class we shared had us burning the midnight oil, which resulted in us getting to know each other very well. I remember thinking, "Wow, Steve is such a great guy. Why isn't he dating anyone? He would make some lucky girl so happy. Wait a second..." Yes, my friends, that's how it all started. Which brings me to my next loves...
The Monkeys
We have two. And they are under seven. You can imagine the shenanigans that go on in our household. Thank God they are cute and loveable. Because when they are not, I have to get some stress relief somewhere, which brings me to my next love...
Fitness
I lost 20 pounds in the last year (I would call it "losing the baby weight" but Aaron was 2 for Pete's sake. Let's be real here.) because I have been hitting the gym four days a week. I literally worked my butt off and I'm so happy, not only with my results, but with the fact that I actually ENJOY WORKING OUT. Did you read that? Going to the gym is FUN for me now, and I LIKE to RUN. I like to run so much that I recently ran a half marathon and now I'm training for a full marathon in October.
And that, my friends, is all about me. If you actually read all of that, you deserve a cookie.
