About Me...

I was born and raised...... just kidding I hate those beginnings!!!


Who am I and where am I from?

My name is Brandy, and I am 22 years old. I lived in Edmonton, Alberta, but I am originally from Saint John, New Brunswick. From one coast pretty much to the other. I always knew this is where life would lead me.

My hobbies

I took up the guitar in January 1997, and I have been plugging away at it since. I got a keyboard for Christmas (1999), and am hoping to get started on that soon. I love biking and rollerblading, listen to music, and watch movies. I love to travel and be able to just pick up and go. And I've seen a lot of Canada and some of the U.S., but my journey's are not done yet!

In my spare time, I like to hack away at the computer. If you e-mail me, I gaurantee I will e-mail you back.

Relationships

On February 5th, 1999, I got engaged to my sweety Melvin. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is sweet and kind, he loves me for who I am and what more could I ask for?

Melvin and I have known each other since 1994. He moved to Alberta in 1996 and we wrote back and forth as friends until about July of 1998. I was planning on moving to Edmonton, and things just happened and so here I am and I am happily married! But back in Saint John I could have never pictured Melvin and I together. A lot can change in two years. Funny how things change...8)

The wedding was September 24th, 1999. It was a beautiful, small wedding. My parents and aunt came all the way from Saint John. I had an aunt and uncle who came all the way from Winnipeg. Unfortunately none of my friends could make it. Except Nick (my best friend) who moved here in July 1999.


Education

In June 1998, I completed a two year Business Program at NBCC. My major or specialty was ISS (Information System Specialist). That is in the IT field. I took a little programming, accounting, marketing, multimedia, database admin, networking, web page design, etc.


I graduated in June 1996 from high school. I graduated with honors, and received two bursaries.


At the College that I attended I was the school mascot. Here is a picture...I am the NBCC Bear!!!


Family stuff

I am the youngest of three; I have two older brothers. It was tough leaving my family behind. I also have two nieces and two nephews. My family is fairly small.


My Personality

Well I am the type of person who is somewhat passive. I like to do for others when I can. I have an assertive personality. I like to take charge, not to the point of being annoying or anything, but I like to get things done, and I am somewhat of a perfectionist. I also have a sort of warped and dry sense of humour or so I am told. I like to laugh and have a good time. I like to make people laugh. I really don't get mad easily, and I like to be a sort of very private person.

Faith

I am a Christian, I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ. I don't really have a denomination. I don't like to be "labelled" anything. I am a spirit-filled believer, and try to exceed in God's will. I play this song, and I like to try and live my life by the words....it goes like this:

"I am reaching for the highest goal. That I might recieve the prize. Pressing onward, pushing every hindrance aside, out of my way. 'Cause I want to know YOU more."
