About me: My greatest accomplishments are being married to my high school sweetheart for 34 years and counting, raising three healthy children, spoiling an adorable grandson and accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior. My faith and my family shape the essence of my being. As long as I put these two things first, everything else will fall into place.
