Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie I'm 30 years old and I live in Chicago. I'm a new mommy to a very sweet betta named Raz. This is my first betta so I'm learning a lot to keep him healthy and happy. I am an organic vegetarian, wife, student who has two hilarious geckos named Jimmie and Daisy. I'm currently going to school to become an Occupational Therapist Assistant and I can't explain how really excited I am about this. At age 30 and going back to school was not easy amongst all these youngins but I am doing it with everything I have.

I like to read *all types of genres*, cook, take pictures, collect vintage cameras, meditate, long walks, listening to records, driving with the windows open and letting my hair down to just dance. I would best describe myself as a fun loving hippie. LOL! I'm really happy to have found a great community such as this one with so many answers to all my betta questions. It's wonderful! Well thank you for sticking around to read this intro I know it was kinda long.
