Family & Home

I live in a safe community on a looped drive.  My neighborhood is made up of a lot of multigenerational families of all backgrounds and cultures.  There are a lot of young children on my street who are always playing outside together.  I enjoy living here because it’s a safe place to take my dog on walks, there are parks and fields to play in and the area is very lively with neighbors having gatherings to celebrate anything and everything.  I love talking with my neighbors and sharing the abundance of the many fruit trees in the neighborhood.  

I am very close with my entire family, we talk on the phone, text, facetime and get together as often as we can.  They love to visit me here in Hawaii and I frequently get to travel to NJ to visit with friends and family there.  My Dad is enjoying retirement and loves to spend time with his grandchildren. My Mom is a director of a long-term care facility and spends her spare time visiting with her grandchildren. My oldest brother passed away in July of 2019, I was fortunate enough to be able to fly home to help his 9 children and 2 grandchildren cope with their loss.  Since then, we have welcomed two more of his grandchildren into the world.  My second oldest brother is happily married to his wife of 7 years, they’ve been together a total of 11 years and have 1 child together.  My younger brother is happily married to his wife of 10 years, who he’s been with for 13 years.  They chose not to have children but are the coolest aunt and uncle any little one can hope to have.  My sister is a registered nurse. She is not yet married which only means she is the best when it comes to spoiling her nieces and nephews.  She is also planning to move here to Hawaii once she finishes school so she can be present as I begin to grow my family.  In total I have 10 nieces and nephews and 5 great nieces and nephews. Their ages range from 1 to 27 years old.
