About Me

I'm a 32 yr. old married, mother of one beautiful, & amazing daughter. (She's actually my step, but I couldn't love her any more if she were my biological daughter) I am so very proud of her. She's a member of the USAF and doing so well. She's 18 and just getting started in her journey to adult hood, but doing it with such grace.
I work with adults with disabilities and love my clients & coworkers. It's a great environment & it's so neat to see their love of life. My husband works in pest control & carpet cleaning.
We are in the beginning process of adoption. We just got our paperwork in this week & now we wait. I pray that I can wait. I've wanted a baby for so very long.
We live in a small town in N. CA and I love it. My mom & sister live in AZ & my dad passed away in '98. My husband doesn't have any family so it will be nice to have a big family of our own. I am so excited to find this site. Thank you for sending me the invitation. God Bless you all !!

My Testimony

My testimony is an interesting story I suppose. lol lol It's really rather long and has taken me all over; physically, spiritually, mentally & emotionally. It started when I was about 16. Prior to that I had always said I would not have a testimony & how could I help anyone because life was so good no one would think I could understand. That all changed drastically when I was 16 & my dad was diagnosed with leukemia.
From there life has been difficult but through it all I realize & understand how much God loves me. He has never left me or turned on me, even when I did. I got into partying, men, drinking & anything else I thought would ease the pain. I never understood who God really was until around 2002 when I began to understand my relationship with him.
I know that this is truly the condensed version of this story. I will share anything about my past with anyone that wants to know more. I've been through a lot so nothing surprises me. I'm very open & would love to find out about others testimonies as well.

Favorite Activities

Camping, riding horses, shopping, traveling, reading, swimming, talking about God, hanging out with my family & friends, living life to it's fullest, having no regrets but learning life lessons, scrap booking, learning new things. Really, anything. I love doing new things and meeting new people. I'm very spontaneous & I love a challenge.
