Texanian: Someone who was born & grew up in Texas but now lives in Pennsylvania.

I'm a mom with 2 kids, a full-time job that I would leave in a second for something better, a wonderful husband, & an insane household with 2 dogs, 3 cats, & 1 hamster.
My husband & I sing in the Elizabeth Forward Area Community Chorus (more about the Chorus in my blog).
"Straight-laced, a little shy at times; livin' on the edge never was your style. You follow rules, take things slow; you ain't never been the type to just let the dice roll."--Go Crazy With My Heart, Povertyneck Hillbillies
