I am here for Friends

About Me

I am halfway to 100, happily married to Kenny, my husband of 25 years. I have 3 kids, my daughter Traci who is 31, my son Matthew who is 24 and my youngest Dylan, who is 16. I have 5 grandkids, Kaleb-15, Britanie-12, Brieanna-10, Ashleigh-8, and Theryn-3, and 2 more on the way. I have been doing home daycare for over 20 years, so basically...kids are my life! I love peace and quiet, which doesn't come easily, but when it does come I have learned to treasure it! I feel young at heart, probably because I spend most of my time with kids.


I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! Myspace Graphics

My Interests

I love kids and reading a good book, it can even be a children's book! I like to mess around on the computer, especially on myspace, but I also love being outside, taking the kids for walks, planting flowers, or just working in the yard. My husband and I love to go fishing, especially on a hot summer day and we're also big hockey fans and do our best to support our local team!! There's nothing like a hockey game and a cold beer!!!


I'd like to meet:

I would LOVE to meet ELLIOTT YAMIN and I would also love to meet the many friends I have made online because of him...and guess what! I did!!!

Heroes:

My mom and dad are my heroes, may they rest in peace. They worked hard their whole lives just for our family. We never had a lot but I always felt loved and secure. So I guess I had it all. My 16 year old son Dylan is my hero. He has battled diabetes for 9 years now. He does this without complaining or feeling sorry for himself. He is very brave. The men and women who are fighting for our country in a war that we may not all agree with are my heroes.And Elliott Yamin is my hero for overcoming so much in his life and still achieving his dream. He is a true inspiration to always believe in your yourself and your dreams.
