table table table table table {direction:rtl;}table table table table table td {direction:ltr;}Where does a person honestly start when you write "About Me" that makes you different from everyone else? I'd like to say that I think, at my age of 42, that I'm just beginning to understand and just beginning to 'learn' about myself. Reflection on my past tells me I really do not yet fully understand what life is about or who I really am--and now, I'm challenging myself to know who I am and what I really want out of my life. I 'thought' after I had a Bone Marrow Transplant, with 2 weeks left to live and 3 small children, that I learned my meaning in life0 I didn't. I 'thought' after being an 'older than average' college student at the age of 34 being voted by Minot State University as "HomeComing Queen"; Student Social Worker of the Year; Who's Who Among National College Students; Chair and Co-Chair of 5 Committees at the University; Voted to represent MSU along with my best friend at the time, Laurel in Chicago for National Social Work Convention; Numerous other awards I don't care really to mention--that I knew what life was all about and who "I". I 'thought', after singlehandedly, moving my children and I out to Washington, starting a career as a Social Worker fr the State for 6 years, and being the best damn Social Worker I could possibly be- that I know who I was and what I wanted in my life. Guess what girls and guys-- I was wrong. With Everything, I was wrong. The thing is, I'm just beginning to see that now, at age 42 and dealing with my 'life issues and drama's' has just told me, that I don't know who I really am yet. That I don't fully understand what 'life' is truly and honestly about. I'm just beginning to learn, to wire my brain, my heart and my soul to undertand 'truly and accurately' what my life and your life, is about. I pray the young generation of you that are on "myspace" such as my sweetheart neice, my daughters' best friends like Dani, Sarita and Lex; my sons' best friends like Jason and Jesse, and my almost adult children, understand what I'm trying to say here. I probably sound so ridiculous, I know when I was your guys' age, I just laughed and ignored any 42 yr old. A 42 yr old doesn't understand 'my generation' right? Just please remember this, your going to make mistakes, your human. God didn't create us as perfect beings, he knows that. And you have so many, many years ahead of you to make mistakes, 'learn' from your mistakes, and keep moving forward-- and when your 42 (which i swear comes fast), and your reflecting on the 'drama's' in your life, you reflect on your children and how well YOU raised your children, Please remember who loved YOU know matter how mad you got, no matter how many groundings you've had, no matter how many restrictions were put on you (just like i went thru), your MOM loved you and still loves you,no matter the mistakes, no matter the accomplishments, your MOM loves you no matter what or where your life and destiny takes you. XXOO's MY 3 BABIES- CARL, CHAD AND ANDREA RIGHT BEFORE MY BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT. YEP,MY HAIR IS BLACK! THIS IS HOW MUCH IT HAD GROWN ABOUT 10 MONTHS AFTER MY BONE MARROW TRANSLPLANT-YUK!
THIS IS A BUNCH OF US AT THE CASINO FOR WILLIE"S BIRTHDAY PARTY-I"M ON THE FAR RIGHT.
YEP..MY MOM AND ME-- I LOVE HER :)

My Interests

You can find all pictures of me,my kids, friends and family 'pics' link under my picture..feel free to add comments- Especially if you see a pic of yourself :)Most Amazing Brad Paisley & Sara Evans Video. Watch this if you want to witness the Passion of Christ and the meaning of being a mother.This is St.Theresa Neumann. My Grandfather met her while in Europe during WWII. GI's would line in rows to see this incredibly amazing woman. She blessed my Grandfather in her native language. He saw her blood pour in buckets as she had the markings of Christs' Crucifixition. Here you will see what he saw. My grandfather is in her book and talks about how he believes she is who gave me the miracle of my life back. I couldn't believe it when i saw it on YOUTUBE. Please watch it, you'll be amazed.The most incredible voice of an Angel who captured Simon Cowell's Heart-- You have to listen to her if u want to hear the most beautiful voice ever. Her name is Connie, age -- 6 yrs old. AmazingFamily, Friends and my kids, oh and Baseball (Seattle Mariners) Football (Seattle Seahawks) Bowling, Dancing, Music, Camping.

I'd like to meet:

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY DAD ONE MORE TIME. MY DAD PASSED AWAY FROM LOU GEHRIGS DISEASE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. IT WAS HARDEST ON MY LITTLE BROTHER, DEVAN, WHO DAD HAD SHOWN LOTS OF LOVE TOO. DAD LOVED DEVAN AND IN MY HEART, EVEN THOUGH MOM AND DAD DIVORCED WHEN I WAS 5 YRS OLD--I KNOW HE LOVED US THE BEST HE COULD. AFTER THEY DIVORCED, DAD ALWAYS PICKED US UP ALL THE TIME, AND I REMEMBER LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN HE BROUGHT JOANN (WHO WOULD BECOME MY STEP-MOM) OUT TO GRANDPA AND GRANDMA MORTENSON'S FARM. SHE BECAME THE BEST STEP-MOM I COULD"VE ASKED FOR. SHE LOVED US LIKE HER OWN. THEN CAME ALONG MY BABY SISTER, ALEXIA JO MORTENSON, THEN RYAN JAY MORTENSON. I GREW UP WITH THEM FOR YEARS. THEN DAD DECIDED HE WASN"T DONE BEING A DADDY YET-- ALONG CAME MY BABY BROTHER DEVAN, DURING MY BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT AND 25 YEARS OLD. I LOVE MY LITTLE BROTHER, WHO IS THE SAME AGE AS MY DAUGHTER, ANDREA, WITH ALL OF MY HEART- I LOVE YOU DEVAN! AND I MISS JOANN, LEXI & RYAN VERY MUCH.Who would I like to meet? Well, ok-- if I haven't met you yet and your not on my friends list, I guess I would say I'd like to meet- well as one of the newer members' of MYSPACE, I've already realized how con artists' there are on here. I've already reported Fraud to Myspace about 30 times from 'guys working in "AFRICA" and 'model' looking. There was a whole report and show about it on Dr Phil (I don't always agree with that man, but this show was directly out of Myspace that women were conned by con artists' in AFRICA to lure women for money. Sadly, women have fallen for these frauds and have been ripped off. So, who do I want to meet? People who live close to me so I know I can get to know you in person; OLD friends I haven't seen in years, maybe from High School or College; My kids' friends who are 'true' friends to them; I guess finally, people who are NOT fakes and phoneys, which i'm finding is hard on here. So, i'm keeping this very simple. I'm mainly here to keep in contact with my family and friends. As you can see by all my pictures, family is very very important to me.THIS VIDEO BELOW WAS MADE FOR ME BY MY SON, CARL, WHO IS A MARINE AND CURRENTLY IN IRAQ. THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE GIFT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. IT'S A TEAR JERKER- SO MUCH THAT MY UNCLE SOBBED. PLEASE WATCH AND PRAY FOR HIS SAFE RETURN HOME.

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
