About Me

I'm Laura! I'm 5'1,dark brown hair,brown eyes, and a big smile! I just moved to San Antonio, not too sure I like it. I have 5 children, SkyLee is the 24 and the oldest, she also has a 4 year old son Tony. Meghan is 22 and just graduated from the U of A along with her wonderful fiance Andy, whom the family and I ALL LOVE. Lexie is 12 and a HUGE ball of emotions, Cj is 10 and definitely the man of the house. Joey is 5 and the most unique and special child! I love Skiing but I had a bad accident a few years ago and it messed my back up pretty bad. I have several degrees in things such as Hotel Management,Surgical Tech, Medical Assistant, Tax Specialist and a few others! Will hopefully be attending school for Culinary Arts in January. If things go my way, one day I will either have a B & B or maybe a bakery. I will miss my favorite beach (yea WIldwood) when I move but will be closer to my fav daughter and grandson!!

My Interests

I LOVE hockey! I played as a kid and enjoy taking my kid's to games whenever possible. I have an Old English Sheepdog named Teddy, he's the BIGGEST, funniest dog! The next dog is gonna be a bearded collie...just saw the new Shaggy Dog movie and now I HAVE To have one!! I love snow and I don't think it's a real Christmas without it!! But I'd rather be with my kids so guess I will have to put up with warm Christmas's from now on! I love arts and crafts and always have something I am working on...right now still working on a painting of a lighthouse and am constantly updating my photo albums I am making of all my kids. Love to kayak, swim in the ocean, take Teddy for long walks and curl up with a good book. I like to horseback ride and go when I can, sometimes with my daughter Lexie, she is a horse nut too!!

I'd like to meet:

Old friends and people I went to High School with. My daughter got me on here so I could chat with all kinds of different people!!

Music:

I love so many different types of music from the 80's to country to new stuff. I love Guns'N Roses, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, The Go-Go's, Patty Smyth/Scandal, Sawyer Brown, Garth Brooks and ton in between!

Movies:

I love sooo many movies, Top Gun, Days of Thunder, anything with Tom Cruise,Johnny Depp, Pauly Shore, Tim Allen,Keanu Reeves, Tom Hanks and any Lifetime Movies! Also love scary movies especially by my fav horror story author Stephen King.

Television:

I LOVE love love Hell's Kitchen, Who Wants to be a Millionaire(I actually auditioned for it a few weeks ago), The Nanny, American Idol, Golden Girls, Blue Collar Tv, Roseanne, Jeff Foxworthy Show,and Any nascar races.(GO Dale Jr!!!!)

Books:

I absolutely adore Stephen King Books, he is amazing, and his wife Tabitha is good too. Danielle Steel books are great too and how to books are of interest to me especially ones on plants or dog or horse training.

Heroes:

I have several, my grandmother was and still is my hero. She taught me how to have patience with my kids and not take any crap off anyone. My mom of course is a hero to me for putting up with all my craziness. Sometimes my son CJ is my hero for helping me with his little brother when I get frustrated or stressed out with him. Actually all my kids are cause they all turned out unnique and great!! No thanks to any of their dads!! And of course my Uncle Vince, who taught me so much about animals and how to take care of them, and everything I know about horses and riding them. I miss him more than anyone in the world. In the animal world Barbaro is my hero, he is a tough little colt with a big heart and the will to survive like no other. If any animal can make it through what he is going through it would be Barbaro. I am sure he will come out of this thing on top and ready to go to that big farm and be the stallion I know he can be!!
