About Me


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
~Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)~
I'm the mother of 2, a son Joshua (17), and a daughter Samantha (15). We lost their father Tim to Melanoma Skin Cancer December 25, 2001. We miss him very much but know he isn’t in pain anymore and that brings us peace in dealing with it all.
I'm very much in love with, Jon, the wonderful man in my life. A mutual friend introduced us. I was a bit nervous about the blind date thing, but we hit it off our first conversation and have been together every since. It was almost like neither of us really had a choice and it was just meant to be. Our personalities blend perfectly and we fit each other like a glove. I feel very lucky that the kids and I have him in our life.

Heroes:

My grandmother, who lost her husband to an accident, raised 9 children on her own working as a waitress, and made it all work despite the obstacles she had along the way.

Tim, because he was a great father to our children, he worked hard, and he fought the cancer with everything he had.

My kids, because they have survived a great deal of loss in their young lives and have came out on the other side of it stronger and better people.

Jon, because he is a wonderful, caring, thoughtful, honest person, and he doesn’t know just how great he is.

My closest friends, because they are there through the good, the bad, and the ugly. lol Really they are all wonderful people to have in my life!!

I can't leave out the brave people who risk their life daily to protect us; the Military, Police and Fireman. I very much admire and appreciate the work they do.
