About Me

glitter-graphics.comWell, let's see...I was born on a beautiful autumn day in October of 1970 and given the name Lora Lynn....I guess we could skip ahead a few years!!...LOL....I have been married 17 years to Ted. I have 2 great (step)-sons...(Scotty and Brian), by the way, I hate that word,"step"!... and a wonderful 11 year old daughter,(Hanna Grace). My oldest son is currently deployed, and although we are sad and miss him every single minute of the day, we know that we have to be strong for him and stand behind him all the way. I love my family and friends and would do anything I can to help them. I am so happy when I'm at the beach and try to get my toes in the sand as often as possible, although not nearly as often as I'd like to... This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

Hanging out with my family and friends, camping, concerts, cornhole games (or for my more "politically correct" friends, CORNTOSS GAMES...LOL)....sun, sand, saltwater, and seashells! .

Afghanistan
