y name is Ani and I am a 22 year old girl.  I am from Albania, 
but I have been living in the States for five years now.  



Right now I am a graduate of Central Missouri State University. 
I graduated in May 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics.
I work as a programmer in Kansas City for a big company called DST Systems.  We handle
60% of the whole US stock market daily.  I love my job and it would be perfect if it 
wasn't for the every day drive from Warrensburg...but what can I do?  I got to come home
every night and see my babies...Ben and General.


Ben is my wonderful Fiance.  We got engaged on December 14th, 2000 and we are going to
become Mr. and Mrs. Pry in December 22nd, 2001.  You do not have idea on how much 
planning and headache goes into a wedding until you plan one.  I believe that I am
a living proof of this.  I made it though.  With a few days to go, I think I am ready
for the big day.  For more information on our wedding, you can check our 
wedding page.
Ben is graduating from CMSU on December 15th with the same degree as I and a minor in 
Military Science.  After the graduation at 2:00 p.m. that Saturday, Ben will get 
commissioned at 4:00 p.m. as a second Lt. of the United States Army.  I know that we will 
move a lot around the country and hopefully world, so I know life will always be exiting 
and thrilling.  Right now he works part time as a bartender at Fitter's Pizza and Pub 
downtown Warrensburg.  


    



On April 4th, 2000, my other baby was born...my doggie General that I love so much.
Although I still call him a puppy, I know he is not one any more.  He is a mix.  I know
he has some rotweiler and pitbull in him and he is soooooo cute.  He weighs well about 
70 lbs and he is the best thing in the world when you are feeling down or when you need 
somebody to cuddle with.  Also, we are thinking about getting another puppy after we get 
married.  We have been looking at English Mastiffs.  They are soooo huge :-)  That's why 
we like them though!!!!


    



I like to work out consitently.  I run 5 miles every day and beside that I do Tae-Bo, 
depending on the time limitations.  I love the ocean and I love swimming, but I like to 
swim outside and I don't get to do much of this during the winter--it is cold here in 
Missouri!  Back in Albania, I lived next to the ocean (if you look up Albania in the map, 
all its west side is opened to the Mediterranean), so I learned how to swim when I was 4 
years old.  
    



    




I like reading and writing.  I used to write a lot of poems, but most of them are in 
Albanian and I'll try to post some of them in my web site.  I love my family and my 
friends.  I miss my dad Kastriot a lot (he passed away 5 years ago), my brother Aldi, my 
sister Ada, and my mom Adriana.  My brother and my sister are twins.  They are 17 years 
old.  I have to thank my wonderful friends here without whom I could have never made it.  
Probably the person that knows me better than anyone in the world and understands me 
better than I understand myself has got to be my fiancee, Benny.  I love you sweetie!!!!!

I love to death my best friends Big Ben, Tiffani, Hodson, Megan, Michelle & Tom.  
Also, I have to mention my wonderful host parents Ruth Ann and Ray Hurst who were always 
here for me and who I love very much.


Most of anything else, I love FUN and I hope you had some of it visiting my homepage.  
Please try again later when I update it with some new and hopefully interesting stuff.
