Life is what you make it

About Me

I am happily married to Jonathan and a mother of 5 kids ranging in age from almost 23 to 11. 3 are mine biologically and 2 were put in my life later. Lots of changes have happened. My oldest son, Brandon, starting a new part of his life and growing from all of his recent "growing pain" things in his life, my 2 oldest daughters, Courtni and Sara, graduating from high school and Sara attending UNO now, while working at Shopko in the Pharmacy,and Courtni is working at DJ's Dugout and getting ready to go to hair school soon at Xenon's.Her boyfriend,Gary, whom we all approve of, will be getting back from the dessert soon. Yeah!!!She will be happy again! Kylie turning 17, a senior in highschool and driving and working her first real job at Bakers in Bellevue. She is also doing very well on her Culinary Team from East. Jalen turned 13 in Nov. in 6th grade aleady and already starting to try some of his "pimp" skills with the ladies......oh boy!!!and very active in every sport. I am getting older and will hit a milestone birthday in March of 2008. I'm trying to fight the urge of thinking I'm getting older but some days, I lose the battle. But I will still fight it with my funky hairstyles and letting my kids keep me young.I'm glad that my life has been so eventful and I cherish every moment of it. I also have 2 grandpuppy's, Max and Debo. I am a cosmetologist and have been doing hair for 25 years and still loving it.I also love to bake and feel guilty if I buy things from the store instead of making them from scratch.I also have a dog named Chico who is very spoiled but very, very cute. We now have a new addition to our family. Her name is Angel and she is part husky and part lab, i think shse needs some doggie counseling because every since we got Louie she is acting wierd!I don't know but maybe middle dog syndrome? Louie is our newest addition, a boxer. All of these cute dogs think that they are human. They get along, for the most part, rather well but it is always a competition to see who can get the most attention. It's really funny when they all chase after each other and Chico darts under the kitchen chairs and the 2 bigger dogs crash into them!
