    • About Me

      I am a 45 year old paralegal in between work, I couldn't keep waiting for my 20 year old baby bird to leave me with an empty nest, so mama bird flew the coup! Building a little nest for two with the best partner anyone could hope for.Larry you give new meaning to the phrase, "Daily Strength"...as you are mine and a daily answer to the 23rd Psalm...Right down to "lying down beside the still water" ;o) The rest of my MS story is as follows: I was diagnosed with Relapsing/Remitting MS in April 07. Almost two years of MS under my belt! (When I look at what I have accomplished since my dx...I can't help feeling a sense of accomplishment and happines. Being dx'd w/MS has made me CHOOSE to get "goin'" I took my existence for granted as though I would ALWAYS have time to "get around to it!" Having MS has shown me I no longer have the luxury of being so cavalier about "getting around to it" so, I've fallen head over heels with the gorgeous guy in the picture...You may know him as "Larrymontana" I know him as my gorgeous Mr. Right! (One of the three best events of my life....Yes, I'm disgustingly in love!) I knew there had to be a reason for my getting MS, never would have completed my destiny without it. Can't complain too much now huh? :o)

      Still, truly excited about the wonderful possibilities ahead. There IS hope, finally after a long bleak, hopeless 8 years Let the CHANGE begin!!! I feel like singing "We're Outta the Woods" from the Wizard of Oz and skipping the only thing is, we're NOT outta the woods...Poor President Obama has so much to clean up thanks to you know who. If anyone can, he can!
