About Me
Live in Gilbert, AZ with my wonderful, cute husband Mike...he has 3 kids...all grown and two grandbabies. We have one dog named Kody...Kody looks like donkey on Shrek...he is a German Sheppard, Charpae, Scottie...We tell people he is a Barrel Cactus Terrier or a Domesticated Javalina...they actually believe us! (Cher Bear my 16 year old toy poodle just passed...so very sad...what a wonderul, loving companion I will never forget)
My husband designs and manufactures beautiful acrylic aquariums and other acrylic designs. My parents live nearby...Mike's parents live in Sylvania, Ohio.
Love all the babies springing up in our families...they are all so much fun!
My Interests
Cooking, gardening and spending quality time with friends and family around the country. My husband and I host a small Bible study group in our home that is connected with a wonderful local church. This has been a great opportunity to share so much of the Word I have been taught and to learn from the heart of many precious believers. It has helped me to recall so much from the past that I had forgotten.
Employment or Career
Own Merino Skin Care USA. I import skin care products from New Zealand and represent various complimentary beauty and health products. I am also involved in our family business in code dating machinery manufacturing.
Music I Like
I love K-Love...really love Jennifer Knapp, Newsboys, Big Daddy Weave, Erin Schust...Andre Reure (spelling?), Mark Schultz and always have loved Aaron Neville!
Books I Like
of course the Bible! I am currently reading Joel Oesteen, Marriage Today and Under the Banner of Heaven.
Television I like
Fox news, 24, Everyone loves Raymond, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol ...(and don't tell my husband) -the girls next door...I saw Kevin Josephson cutting Hugh Hefner's hair on that show...Kevin was precious! I also absolutely love the cooking network...Paula Deen warms my heart, but makes me want to eat too much mayo and butter!
Movies I like
Love "One Night with The King", Shrek, happy feet, Open Range, the Queen and the Borne movies.
Sports Teams I like
Suns...miss Nash's long hair...it was so cute!!

Wasn't it "Jamiel Rocks and Jamiel Rolls ... "
Me and Betski were talking about the three of us getting together this summer up in Boothbay Harbor if we can work it out. How tight is your schedule? My family is usually there early in July.
Anyway, it looks like you have great things going on there, and again, I'm very pleased to see that. God bless - maybe I'll get to see you and meet Mike some time... be well and have fun.
Shalom, Valerie
Great to see you after all this time and good to read about your life. Love to you, Jacqueline
Thanks for welcoming me in. I'm going to try to get Rhonda to come on board but I don't know if she'll like this. I will pass on the good wishes and the news. I will see her over the holidays.
Good to hear from you. Thank you again. Tommy
