I am here for Friends

About Me


My name is Terri. I am a 38 year old lesbian who lives in Bloomington, IL, with my partner of almost 8 years, Shannon, and our twin daughters Alexandra and Brigid, who are almost 6! The girls are getting ready to start Kindergarten in the fall. I can hardly believe it! Alexandra was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of Autism, and is on a baseball team this year! Brigid is getting ready to start gymnastics soon, and we're getting ready to get them involved in Girl Scouts or something similar. My girls can be a handful (two hands full!) but they are the light of my life and I wouldn't trade them for the world!Shannon is Number 1 on my friends list (and in my heart! Go ahead...you can say it...awwww!). You should add her, too. She's an amazing person and she loves new friends!!!
I don't know what else to say about me. I graduated from high school in 1987, went into the Army for a while, had two pretty long term relationships and a few very short term ones before I met Shannon, who is the light of my life, and then we had the girls. I have had lots of different jobs, went back to school and got my BS in Psychology, and now I work as a Residential Counselor at The Baby Fold, a child services organization that does adoption, foster care, and has a grade school and high school for special needs kids.
I work, try to spend time with my family, mess around on the computer, play with my new digital camera, and that's about it...thrilling, I know!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I don't know if I'd really like to meet any of my favorite artists or anything...it might really blow my perceptions of them!  I guess if we're talking about people I might just like to sit down to lunch with or something like that, I guess I would have to say Reba McEntire,

or ani difranco

or Wynonna Judd

and the ladies from Stump!

I think it would be really cool to hang out and talk to Stephen King...

...and Melissa Peterman, who played "Barbara Jean" on Reba and who's a freakin' riot!
