    • About Me

      I am 31 yrs old with 2 Beautiful Children, they keep me on my toes! I have been happily married for 7 years. Worked with Home Care for 10 years until my pain took me away from working.

    • Hug

      From blue22 April 20

      Hi Dc, I just got your hug today (written a few weeks back), as I haven't been on much- things have been crazy around here. I'm so glad I got your hug today- it came right when I needed it! (Really stressful day). How are you doing? I hope that you had a happy Easter. Isn't it nice that the weather is so balmy now! I love spring time. We had our first adoption meeting today, and it actually went really well. We didn't even talk about my health at all, although I'm sure that will come up in future meetings. I hope that they can look past my chronic pain and disability and still decide to approve us to adopt. Anyways, I hope that you have a great day! Jenna
