I am a thirty-something wife and mother of four.

 

My husband and I married in 2000 and have a son and a set of triplet girls 2yrs younger than big brother.

 

Big brother is seen here reading a story that the girls are enjoying.

Sammy is my nine year old lap dog. A solid black toy poodle. Where I go he goes......at least he thinks he should go.

I am origanally from the Mid-Ohio Valley born and raised. But we live in Central West Virginia.

 

Two years ago my husband wanted to relocate back to his roots where he was born and raised. And we did.

So I guess you'd call us Buckeneers. Buckeye/Mountineers

This pic of my husband and I was taken on our '08 Ocean City Trip at a pull off just after the Chesapeake Bay Toll.

 

A Constant in Our Household:

 

I Love You's- I tell them everyday.

 

Hugs and Kisses- The sweetest thing to get and to be given.

 

Conversation- It's good to be in the KNOW.

 

Evening meals- Every evening we sit at the table for a homecooked meal. Only rare occasions does this not happen.

 

Prayer- Not one day goes by that prayers are not said. Night time prayers started as new born infants and is a religious practice.

 

 

I have several things I like to dabble in as far as interests go.

Warmer outdoor activities:

Fishing, Geocaching, ATVing, Gardening, any outdoor project, singing, playing guitar, crafts and whats going on in my kids lives.

 

Some of my favorite places to be: .........whether they hold sentimental meaning or to relax, or to visit, enjoy or to just be there

 

At the farm

My Grandma's

Wild Cat

The Ocean

My husband's arms

A fond memory

 

On a warm sunny day-

Deep in the woods under a lush canopy of trees

By the waters edge

On a tractor in the middle of a hay field

Deep in the wide open country somewhere

In my garden

 

I love the warmer climates and prefer to live there but I enjoy having four well rounded seasons as well. I think that makes me hunger for warmer weather and appreciate summer more.

The grass is always greener.........

 

I would have to say that of all the books in the world the Bible and its collection would be my favorite.

I do love childrens books as well. I could probably start my own collection...with as many as I have.

When I choose a novel or short story to read I have found a great likeness to the Steeple Hill Love Inspired books.

 

I am partial to strong, energetic, sound, fun deep love stories.

Pride & Prejudice is one of my all time favorites. (Seen about 6x)

I am also fond of P.S. I Love You. (only 2x)

 

Once I have seen a movie I generally have a hard time watching it the second time around or more.

 

My children on the other hand have no problem watching a movie over and over and over.

 

Country music is my everlasting favorite. -Next to my babies singing. A child singing is so precious.

 

However..............Occasionally the older original style (1950's - 1960's) Rhythm & Blues have an enchanting lure over me.

All genres and sub-genres are optional when I sing.

From Joan Jet to Madonna to Sheryl Crow from Crystal Gayle to K.T. Oslen to Martina to Carrie from Sandi Patti to Amy Grant to Jennifer Rothschild.
