Bio
I guess I should add a little something here. My name is Kristen, and I was born and raised in Missouri. I graduated with honors from the University of Missouri-Rolla in May 2007 with my bachelors degree in Business and Management Systems and a minor in Financial Economics. I have since relocated to South Carolina to attend Clemson University for my Masters in Real Estate Development.

Now, before you get all envinronmentalist on me, I am not out to destroy the land. On the contrary. My interests actually lie in helping the environment. I would like to build sustainable communities and also work with infill projects. I see no reason to be building new homes and subdivisions where there are so many abandoned houses and buildings in the cities.

I got married on March 16th, 2008. It was truly wonderful and we had a wonderful honeymoon in Mexico. Even though we already felt married for the last two years, sealing the deal was great. I couldn't be any happier and I am so lucky to have a great guy like James.

Other interesting facts about me:

* I genuinely care about people. Not just those I know, but also those I don't. If I do know you, then you probably have a special place in my heart. I am a softie for kids, though I have none of my own.

* My family and loved ones (including my fiance', James) is my world. I value nothing over them. My dad passed away when I was just 4 years old, and my mom has done everything she can to help. I have a sister named Denice in her 30's and a brother named William who is 13 (my mom spaced us far apart). I also have two nieces, Samantha who is 15 and born on my birthday, and Megan who is 10. I also have an adorable nephew, Tyler, who is 4. These kids are my wole world.

* I adore animals. All kinds. Everything from dogs and cats to snakes and alligators. I have a cat that I treat as my baby. She is the world to me. It is probably unhealthy how much I cherish her :)

* I am open minded. I don't judge others by anything superficial such as race, religion, sexual orientation or anything you can think of.

* I am obsessed with purple. If I had my way, I would buy everything in purple :)

*I love keeping updated on the news. I love to know what is going on in the world, and seriously care about what is going on. I am concerned with the levels of poverty and hate in this world, and hope one day we can get past that.

* I come from a poor family. Everything I have, I had to work for myself. Nothing is ever given to me. I moved out when I was 18 and have been independent since. My mom may still have to help my older sister, but I am completely on my own (for better or for worse). People say poor kids can't go to college, well that is not true. I graduated college and and from a rather elite graduate program too. Just proves that hard work and determination can pay off. I look to be making a pretty decent salary once the economy improves, I am getting out of the poor rut my family is in and plan on helping them out as much as I can.

Anything else you want to know? Just ask me. I love to talk and tend to write long entries and go on and on about things, just my nautre. I am generally a happy person, but we all get down sometimes. I am homesick, and miss everyone so much. If you want to hear more, add me :) My journal is mostly friends only beyond a certain point, please comment to be added and tell me where you found me or why you want to add me.
