A Little Bit About Me
My name is Lauran Margaret Halpin and I was born on 28 August 1981 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  After five moves in six years, my family and I finally settled in Safety Harbor, Fl. where we still live today.  My father, Mike, works for Merck and Co, and my mother, Gena, works as a medical transcriptionist for Medquist.  I do not have any brothers or sisters, just four dogs: Sabrina and Teddy are rat terriers, and Belle and Jessie are beagles.  My family likes to cook, eat, and talk about gourmet cooking and fine wine.  As a result, the time I spend with my family usually involves driving long distances to go to a good wine store or a new restaurant.
