    • About Me

      I have been married for 21 years and have 2 kids, a 17 year old son & 10 year old daughter. They are my life. I used to be a special ed. teacher and stay-at-home mom but now I'm working in a retail store. I'm a Christian whose relationship with the Lord is good right now, even though I've been going through a lot of trials.
