I am here for Friends

About Me

I am currently a stay-at-home mother of two beautiful children. My son, Nathan, is eight and my daughter, Noelle, is five. I have been married for 19 years and am still very much in love with my husband and best friend, David! I homeschool my children and love every minute of it! As the years go by, I enjoy learning right along with them! I consider myself very blessed to have such a wonderful family and circle of friends. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
