    About Me

    I'm 46 and dealing with thyroid cancer. I am married and going to college part time. I would love to get a job soon, but am still waiting on results from a breast cone down mammo and ultrasound. The last few years have been challenging. I have 2 beautiful grown children 20 and 24. I love to garden, paint, and do crafts.
