    About Me

    I am sorry but at this time I am only accepting friend request from people in one of my groups I am founder of. It is only fair because I have too many to keep up with I am a wife and mother. I feel these are the greatest callings God gives to women. I have been married almost 23 years. We are best friends and have been long before we were lovers. We have gone through a recent storm in our marriage and I believe that God and the fact that we are always friends helped us to come back together though we have a very long uphill battle to go. Before you take on Goliath you might want to practice your slingshot.

    Interests

    I enjoy photography, cross stitch, reading, cooking, being a wife and mother.
