My name is Nicole and I live in a small town in Eastern North Carolina. I work as a technical writer for a government contractor but I aspire to be a professional chef. It's just me and DBF who i've been with for about 8 years. We're getting married September 5, 2009. We have two adorable orange tabby cat kids: Persimmon and Louis Vuitton. I love to cook and bake for my family. They live close by so I often cook for them. Its hard to please DBF as he's a very picky eater, so when I make something he likes it really makes my day. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
