Christie Lynn Schwartz
March 19, 1978


Don't worry I get better
 looking with age !

I was born in Bel Air, Maryland. I am the youngest of three siblings (1 Brother and 1 Sister) and I am probably the most spoiled !! 


thankfully I'm a truck person now...

My parents have been married for 29 years and I couldn't have asked for a better family. Seeing how good their marriage is, gives me something to look forward to.


Dena, Christie and Holly (before)


The three of us all grown up !!

Before I even thought of marriage I had to deal with the neighborhood boys.  Being one of the only girls, I had to adapt....Naturally its hard to believe that the girly girl in the middle grew up as a tomboy....and I am proud to say I kicked the crap out of some of dem boys!


Me and my Bro...

Following the lead of my big brother I became very active in sports.  Softball and field hockey were my sports of choice.  The younger years of beating the boys off with a stick must have helped, because most of the time I was captain of the team and I have won numerous awards for my play.


You can call me Captain !!

I graduated from C. Milton Wright High School in 1996. From there I moved onto James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. I decided to study kinesiology, with a minor in coaching.  As a player coach on the JMU club field hockey team, I had a chance to corrupt the incoming freshmen....We were notorious for being late because we were either hung over or still drunk from the previous night. Most of my good friends were met on this team and if you give me an hour or two I could go on about stories from the good ole days....don't even get me started on the spring Breaks to Cancun, Key west and the Bahamas !!


Beth your slacking !!!

I graduated from JMU in 2000. I wasn't quite ready for the real world so I decided to go back to school.  I choose the nursing program at the University of Maryland. Although I wasn't ready for the real world I was definitely not ready to move home...It took me one summer to figure that out !!  I moved to Baltimore City that fall and it was a good thing I did, otherwise I might not have ever met Brian.


ME through the years...

Brian once told me he would show me the world...Naturally I'm still waiting! But to his credit he has introduced me to all kinds of interesting sports scuba diving, Mt. biking, and roller bladding to name a few.  I definitely enjoy warm water dives more then my Pennsylvania quarry dive, where the water was 34 degrees !!


Dive! Dive!

Ok, Ok, enough about me...Since my wonderful fiancé decided to post this picture of me, let me tell you the story behind it.  This picture was taken at his cousin Beth's wedding. It was the first time that I met his family and naturally I was quite nervous. The reception featured an open bar and Be-Sharp as the entertainment...a deadly combination.  I started off rather slow because I didn't want to give them a bad impression....little did I know that this family could drink!  Obviously this picture was taken later in the evening, but it began a running theme in their family pictures of me...I always had a drink in hand  : )


mmmm.....BEEEER !!!

I did learn two important things that night...

1) Never ask his sister where the truck is after a night of drinking

AND...

2) Never let his mom walk alone out in the parking lot...to this day she is convinced that curb came out of nowhere !!!

Finally....I'm done !!


Camden, Christie and Lucy (his sister)
