... I May Not Have Eveything That I Love, But I Love Everything That I Have ...

About Me

Well ... hmmmm ... let's see here ... I am almost 37 (on May 10) and I am a mother of 3 (Michael is 18, Alex is 15 (on May 6) and Hannah is 5) and I am happily married to a British bloke from Staffordshire, England. We live near Jacksonville, Florida right now and are in the process of getting ready to move back home to England as soon as our son graduates from high school next month.
We moved around A LOT when I was little, never staying anywhere longer than a year or two ... I remember when we moved to Columbus, Ohio and we hit the three year mark how excited all of us kids were that we had been there THAT long!! So, it's where I really consider my "hometown" ... I'll always be a Buckeye ... no matter where I go ... I *REFUSE* to give up my thick Ohio blood and root for anything other than scarlet and gray! Even though this year, living right in the middle of Gator Country, I sure got a lot of crap about it ... but the day after each sad loss ... I still went out wearing my Buckeye clothes ... Go Bucks!!!!!!!!!
