Married second time around to my best friend for nine years. Together we have five grown kids and five wonderful grandkids.

I am an admin assistant to our high school's administration department.

I am a Christian who totally believes but does not judge. That is someone else's job. :)

I love the mountains, the fall of the year, life in general.

How did you get to where you are now?

Trial and error.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

Confidence level is way up there! I actually believe I know what I am talking about most of the time!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Probably a widow,(my husband is extremely ill) with a life ahead of me. Hopefully, retired by then. Travelling a little. Doing something for others. Thinking less of self. And watching the family grow and live.

If only.....

you had waited for real love to come along, and had loved yourself more, you would have not gone through the hell you did. Your kids would not have gone through the hell they did.

you had just been yourself and loved who you were you would have lived a totally different life.

you had kept on in school you would have gotten a musical scholarship to college.

you would have stayed the course and instead of seeing walls and sitting down and crying, you would have kicked up your heels and busted them down.

Life would have been different....but then again.....

you would not have made the SAME mistakes.....but you would have made DIFFERENT mistakes that you would have had to lived with. sooooooooo......

get on with it....live and learn.....live and love..and God will be there for you when you decide to move towards Him.

My sweet mother in law, Verda. She was the most amazing lady I have ever known.....yet, so meek and mild. I miss her.

My mama(grandmother)....never complained and took me in when no one else wanted me. I miss you mama!!!!

Corrie ten Boom.....her amazing faith and love for others even though it cost the lives of her family.
