Places I've been

More about me

I'm a 39 year old mom of 4 kids~ sons Kyle 19, Joshua 16, and Noah 8. My daughter Brooke just turned 2 in July.

I've been married since 1988, just a month after my 20th birthday. I've worked on and off (as the budget needed), even owned my own children's tea party business for a while & had articles about family life published in local magazines. I quit my receptionist job at a retirement home when Brooke was 5 months old, when we realized my husband was making more in 2 hours overtime than I made in a week. It just didn't make sense for me to leave her anymore. Someday I'll go back to school and work, but for now this is good!

I'm into flower gardening, cooking, healthy nutrition/diet/exercise, music (all kinds!), book reading (all kinds~ political, novels, romance, suspense, & horror.) I love being outdoors~ hiking, camping, swimming, fishing, and attending my older kids' trail runs (races). My favorite place is my own patio, with a beer or glass of wine. Campfires are a regular weekend event in my backyard.

I've set a goal of losing 40 lbs. before my 40th birthday (coming up Nov. 18th). Since June 15th I've lost 25 lbs. by eating 1400 cal or less/day and exercising 5 days a week.

Favorite Quotes

"CRAYONS ARE NOT FOOD!!!!"~ Me "Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." "God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try." "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. " And my favorite: "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. " Archbishop Fulton Sheen~ "Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love? "
