- About Me:
- Hi!
I'm Amy!
I'm 33yrs old & have been battling Alopecia Areata for over 10yrs.
I'm married to the most wonderful man...Jeff & we have 3 kiddos, George is 7, Andrew is 4, & Allie Grace was born 5/17/08.
I am originally from Oklahoma City, but marrying an Air Force man has allowed me to live in places I never thought I'd see, like Belgium!!
My husband is now a civilian, after 10yrs of service & we now live in Jim Thorpe, Pa.
I am a huge US history nut, with anything WWII related being my passion. Before getting married & doing the SAHM gig, I majored in History & American military history. I still plan to eventually finish up the 13hrs I have left, so that maybe one day I can get my dream job of teaching college kids about the Greatest Generation & having a dingy little office cluttered with books!!:)
Aside from being a mom & wife, I like to get involved with as many activities as I can.....this allows me to forget about the A/A for a while, by keeping busy.
I've coached the boys soccer teams, been active with a wonderful military wives group, & try to devote time to other causes such as POW/MIA's, military & veteran's affairs, & AD/HD(our oldest son is afflicted with this condition.).
My life hasn't been easy, by any means, but, I try to look at it like this: Life is never easy, so it's best to work with what you've been given & try to make a difference in someone else's life!
Living with A/A has made me realize that no one is perfect, love comes in all shapes, beauty is not what's on the outside, but what's on the inside, & being true to yourself is the most important thing!
I have a very supportive family, from my parents to my husband & children. I also have a close circle of friends who push me to be who I am & for that I am grateful.
I've just recently "come out" with my A/A, & the funny thing is, some people whom I've known since childhood, had NO idea I had struggled with this! So, I am opening up & trying to raise awareness, hoping that by getting the word out, people will learn more & be more accepting of people with this devastating condition.
I'm hoping to find some people who have been there, done that! - Do you have alopecia?
- Alopecia areata
- Are you age 18 or older?
- Yes
