Mary AnJolene Santivasci was born at a Naval base in San Diego, California where she spent her first 9 years. Her family moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin, but the cold sent them back west after only 2 years. They retired to Las Vegas, Nevada where she has spent most of her life (from 1995-2009). Now, she has fallen head over heels... and back to the midwest she goes. She intends to spend quite a while in the Chicago/Rockford area where she hopes to have her husband, her first home, and the start of their 4 children (of course) before she is 30. She sees her and Matt growing very old together... and most importantly... she thinks she is the luckiest girl alive to have found such a wonderful man.
