LiQi (pronounced "leechee"): There is much to explain about me. But simply...I am very mysterious, don't fit in a box, and enjoy being confusing and different. I grew up in China which has shaped who I am. I love art, culture, passion, and God. I'm the proud wife of a former Marine, have been through 4 deployments in 7 years, and we are now unsteadily adjusting to civilian life after spending over 1/3 of our marriage apart. Bye bye, Marine Corps, hello Reserves! We have 2 silly little girls who are a hoot and a half and 1 baby boy who is sweeter than pudding. I enjoy writing, drawing, painting, and creating. In fact, without these things, I'm pretty sure I'd go nuts. This is my space.
