I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a LEADER. It doesn't matter what I am doing, I like to be in charge and am uncomfortable not being in charge. I am also blunt. I just seem to have an opinion and cannot help but share it. This often deters people from getting to know me. BUT those who have, know I am a friend for life. I will ALWAYS be there for them and I know it is the other way around as well. I love my family with all my heart and spend a lot of time with them. Them and the family I have created at work. I am the proud mama of a son, my husband, and five bankers. My bankers are the best and the brightest and we are always there for each other AND our customers. I honeslty don't know a better place to bank or work. :) I love math and I tend to find ways to always be doing it. Obviously at work, but also at home with games like Sudoku or Brain Age. Both my husband and I are gamers and we spend a lot of time on game systems, computers, or having friends over to play board games and poker.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to spend MORE time with my Grandpa again. He passed away almost ten years ago and my heart will forever ache from missing him. He was the best friend I will ever have (sorry all, but it's true). He was there every step of my childhood and taught me a lot of the basics of life. For instance, riding a bike, checkers, tying my shoes, and about a million more. I sat on his lap everytime I came over until my mom was yelling I was going to break him. My mom says when I was born, he picked me up and did not want to set me down for two weeks. He was one who did not get fed up with my overactive imagination and was the best audience member for all my "concerts" throughout the years. And when I played sick at school, no matter where we had moved to, he would come to the school and pick me up from the nurse's office and take me back to his house. When he passed away, it was one of the hardest times I have ever experienced. He got sick about ten years before he passed away and I still feel I was cheated out of precious time with my best friend. When I was a kid I had been given an assignment to write a letter about my hero. I wrote it about him and gave it to him. When he passed, my Grandma pulled the letter out and said he had saved it all that time and had me read it at his service. He is still my biggest hero and I wish with all my heart he were here today to love my son the way he loved me. I KNOW I will see him again and I KNOW he is watching over me and laughing everyday over the beauty of my son, but it does not make living without him any easier. I LOVE YOU GRANDPA AND YOU ARE FOREVER MISSED.
