More about me

Happily married with three grown children (a girl, two boys) , one step-daughter, one step-grandchild, two step-great-granddaughters and our first grandson born Feb. 23, 2009.  We enjoyed spending time with our babies!!  They are a delight and keep Nana and Poppie hoppin'!

We moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico in March of 2009 where we had our new house built.  We love it here!  I can't say enought about how great it is living in Las Cruces!! We are thrilled that we made the move!  Of course we miss all of our babies but luckily, we have web cams and can see and talk to our family and friends as often as we want.

I was a non-profit administrator for 19 years.  I love doing web development and desktop publishing which I do for fun on the side.  My husband was a truck driver for the City of Seattle but now plans to return to truck driving...his passion.  He's just recently started using the computer.  It's amazing how fast he's picking it up! 

I've been overweight since I was eight years old. Although my insurance wouldn't cover it, I made the decision to have Lap Band surgery on 9-13-05.  One of the best decisions I've ever made! 

I love traveling with my husband mostly wandering around the pacific northwest and more recently, the southwest.  We are the best of friends and love doing a lot of the same things.
