Military Wife & Mom

About Me

At the age of 43, I think I have accomplished much of the things, I have wanted to do. Although I'm not done yet, there is so much more out there to do. My husband, and best friend Tom, a Naval reservist and Health & Safety Dir. supports me totally. We have a daughter, a 23 yr. old Veteran Of the Iraq War. She did 2 tours, and 1 in Kuwait . Married and a daughter Jordan, I was blessed to take part in the delivery. I have a son, who is in College, and plays football for this college... He's an amazing athlete... Must get it from his mom..LOL I also am a very active volunteer, that takes part in sending care packages overseas to our Military. Project Homefront has sent to over 6,000 personnel, and over 5,000 boxes. When not volunteering, I paint in oils, sketch by the ocean, walk the Labradore Retriever there as well. He's too friendly.... (I think a Walmart greeter in his past life)Traveling is a big part of our lives on my husband's time off. Upstate NY, the Adirondacks are our stomping grounds... Florida is often on my agenda, be it the Keys, or Tampa area. We enjoy the Metropolitan Museum of art, (Monet exhibit)as well as Museum of Natural History. Brooklyn is a favorite area as well. There is always more, but the sharing is done for now... I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!
