Hi there everyone!
I'm new to the MerNetwork (obviously!) and I live in Pittsburgh, PA but originally I'm from Mississippi. Ever since I was a little girl I have always had an unyielding love of all things ocean related and my father's career in the Navy only furthered my adoration. My earliest memories involving mermaids came from my father and his response to my question of "Where do babies come from?" at the age of five. His response was "Well, I don't know where other babies come from but you came from the sea." which then turned into a near half-hour long story of my mermaid mother giving my father a newborn to raise as a human. I never have and pray I never will forget this time with my Dad telling me this magical story. Many years later the sex-ed teacher wasn't too thrilled with him when she was trying to teach me that his story wasn't totally accurate. (lol)
My Dad is retired Navy now but since has bought his own boat and enjoys nothing more than sailing and mermaid watching! When I'm not daydreaming about life under the ocean waves, I am a full time stay at home wife and mother. I have many geek loves (Sailor Moon, My Little Pony, video games, D&D, Magic The Gathering, Doctor Who, the list goes on!) and enjoy meeting new friends. I am currently podless as I have no clue if there are any others in my area.
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know ya'll and am so happy to be here!
