About Me	I was born in El Paso,Texas on March 15,1980 to my Parents Pam and Jerry.I have a older Brother Shane and we lived it Texas till the summer of 1990 we moved to Las Vegas,Nevada. Las Vegas is a interesting place to have grown up in. I must admit that there were alot of times that were'nt easy but this place kinda made me..ME. I had a lot of mistrust towards guys after one had physically hurt me when I was only 12 years old.But over time I have regained trust and met some pretty cool people (Richard P.)and YES they were guys and I made more guy friends than girlfriends oddly enough. I was a prissy tom boy if that is possible.lol Now I'm gonna make the school thing quick I was not a star student I just got by and not much of a fan of it especially the Math.eek!!I was great at Art were my passion is:) I played Basketball for a while till I tranfered to theNW of Las Vegas from Henderson. But I met some pretty important people in my Highschool years that mean so much to me. First I will mention my BFF Adriana she and I ruled the Las Vegas Strip. That was our hangout every weekend and we will never forget those wonderful times together. Yes she is a girl!!!Who would have thought:) But she gets ME and always have. Some of my other friends that I was close to was my friend Travis and others from that group you know who you are:) They took me shooting in the desert and camping.So when meeting James Lewis not really a glamorous meeting the first time he was at a party that I went to and he was a little wasted I should say.LOL but at that time I had a boyfriend and after graduation a friend in the group had a party that I went to and I saw James again and decided to play a little card game up the river down the river and I got him drunk.lol We had some sparks but I still had the boyfriend. That summer went to Texas for a vacation and when I retured I was single and the first person I called was Travis to page James.He was a little unavaliable at the time so the next night we met at another party.(Yes a lot of parties in my day)lol and everything went as planned and we had our first kiss in the back of Brents Dad's car.That's was the summer of 1998 that winter on Dec. 5th he asked for my hand in marriage.How I knew he was the one...I had to get my tonsils out at age 18 and yes it is not a proceedure that happens after childhood it was one of most painful experiences of my life and it was the first sugery I ever had.The first 24 hour are important to make sure no bleeding occurs it could have killed me if it did. He stayed with me ALL night and stayed up and took time off work for a few days for ME!!! That's when I knew he really LOVED me.Yes we were young and inlove but we had plans.We had the time of our lives and yes some down times but we grew up together and we had to mesh two personalities into one home.We moved in with each other in February 2001 yes before we were married we had to know if we could live with each other without killing eachother.LOL That year we partied legally and had so much fun and that year we also traveled with my Family on a cruise to the Caribbean we loved to travel and we would take roadtrips together.What memories we made:) On May 26,2002 we were married and had the biggest Wedding Bash EVER!!!! Things were good and some tragities had happened I lost my Aunt tragically a few short months after the wedding.And I was so glad he was there to help me through that.But then on July 21,2003 another terrible thing happend. It was to my Husband we were still newlyweds and I got a call at work from him saying he was on his way to the hospital because he was hit by a 2 ton tree. Not knowing all the details I rushed to the hospital and saw him lying on a bed in a ER hallway with braces on his head and neck.We later found out that his back was broken and he needed sugery ASAP to remove debris form his spinal area and they needed to fuse his spine together.Here we were just kids making desions like this very scary stuff. The next morning he went in for sugery and before he went in the nurse told him to hand his wedding ring to me for me to hold.At this time our life together may have been our last moments and to feel such saddness and LOVE rushed over my body.My thoughts were I can't go on without this other half of my heart.We cried and said "I Love You" to eachother and he went in for surgery.When he came out we were told that there was a chance that he may never walk again.But James is not a quitter and he was not going to take that as a possiblity.He had therapy and he learned how to do the easiest things like put on socks and to walk again.We worked hard together on getting him back on his feet. I had changed his bandages (I'm not good with wounds by the way almost passed out a few times)helped him shower and did what he needed to get well again.I did what he did for me.I love him and with many prayers everything was back to normal. We made the next plan and that was to puchase our first home together and within a few months of living in the house we got pregnant with our first baby Faith Lewis born January 27th 2006 and yes she was planned also. Faith was such a wonderful blessing in our Home being first time parents we did our best with the (Thank God for my Mom or Nana she did so much to help us) whole parenting thing:) The first child memories are so fun to look back on because of all the caution that is used and with books and family help so much changes on the second one.Faith was our little Babybear and was too sweet for words:) We had made it through the first 2 years and we were ready for another baby to bless our home. Keira Lewis was Born January 9,2009. She was born a month early due to a car accident where I was rearended. It brought baby Keira into this world with a rough start in the NICU for a month.But God was there for us and our little baby Monkey. She is the sqishiest babygirl ever:)My girls are a BIG part of my life that is why we made a choice for myself to stay at home and raise my babies I just don't believe in other people raising your kids and I was lucky enough to have married a Man that has those same thoughts and we were blessed that James had a job where we could do this.We are a loving Family and we are so lucky to have all the friends and family in ou...(read more)
