Well, I am Samantha (Burns) Holden. I am a happily divorced mom of 4, yes that is right, four. I wanted an even number. I love to have fun, sometimes maybe too much fun. I grew up in Texas, all over but I graduated from Fairfield High, I'm not giving the year, lets just say it was a long time ago but well after the dinosaurs dissapeared :). Most of my family hang out in the Dallas area but I have family in Arkansas and Colorado also. After high school I got married and I spent one year in Kansas (YUCK!) and 3 years in Germany (I LOVE GERMANY) then I was transplanted to Maryland in 1990. My kids, I have wonderful, wonderful, wonderful kids, (well, most days, we all have our moments :). Stacey Lynn (15 and my Valentine Baby), Thomas Alan (13, almost a New Year baby, missed it by 4 days), Jessica Marie (10 and born in June, boy was it hot that year) and Christopher Michael (9, born in July but missed the 4th) are the greatest part of my life. The girls play soccer (I love watching them play soccer) and are in the band at school, Stacey plays clarinet (I did too in my younger years) and Jessica plays flute. The boys play football (I love watching them play football)and are in Boy Scouts, and Chris is in the band. The test of a mothers love is listening to a 9 year old with a trumpet :)(I guess it could be worse, it could be DRUMS!). Needless to say we keep very busy. We have two cats, Sassy & Tiger that are spoiled rotten. I spend my free time with my kids and with my best friend and love Ray. Ray and I love to travel, go to concerts and just hang out. Ray and I met in Sunday School @ Church 3 years ago and have be having fun ever since. You have to love a man that shows up at Sunday School and finds out you have 4 kids he does not run away screaming (what was he thinking?) but instead helps me move furniture and asked me out on a date :). Our first date was St. Patricks day so that holiday is very special to me. We went to Sean Bolens in Bel Air on Main Street and stood out on the balcony and had the bagpipe player all to ourselves it was wonderful and romantic.
