About Me


"
As you can see, my name is Jon and I live in Florence, Alabama with my wife Susan. We met online over 9 years ago. It seems funny now but I had never been farther north than the edge of Kentucky but on April 17th 1998 I drove through 9 states to get her and bring her home to be with me. I have never regretted going to get her and would do it all over again. They say there is a soulmate for everyone. Well I found mine:D We live in the house where I was raised surrounded by alot of family. I am an only child and was adopted when I was 4 and a half months old. Mom and Dad are both gone now and I miss them so much. I was raised on a farm and the hard work ethic has been wth me all my life. I am presently a security officer and site supervisor of the post where I am, but in the past I have been a assistant manager of a grocery store in Tennessee. I have also been a dj and then assisant manager of a small town radio station. I loved being a dj and would love to get into that field again one day(would love to own my own station). Right now my wife, children and grandchildren are my life. I love them all so much and I am proud of them all. I have 4 girls, 2 daughters, Misty and Willa and 2 step-daughters, Heather and Rebecca. and I have 7 grandchildren 3 girls age Chanda age 16, MaryElizabeth age 15 and Amanda age 13. One boy Destry age 9. 3 step-grandchildren 2 girls, Ryan age 4 and Alyson age 2 and a half and one boy, Avery 2 years old with one more grandbaby on the way(this one's gonna be a boy). 3 of our grandchildren live in upstate New York where our oldest daughter is and our son-in-law who is in the army. And our oldest granddaughter Chanda informed us ago that we are going to be great grandparents. She is having a baby boy around the end of April. We miss them all alot. Sam, (he's gonna be a grandpa) our son-in-law, has been deployed to Iraq for his second tour of duty. Please keep Sam and all the other troops in your prayers. Sam's picture is down further on my page. This is what a hero looks like. I am proud of you Sam. My oldest stepdaughter lives with us at the present time and our other two children live close by. I guess my life gets a bit complicated at times but I wouldn't have it any other way. If there is anything else you want to know just ask.
