About Me
I am married to a great guy, Donny. He is a Union Electrician. I am the mother of 4 boys and step-mother to one daughter. I am currently a stay-at-home mom/ caregiver because my Dad came to live with me back in June. Otherwise, I am a loan officer for a mortgage broker and working towards my own Broker's license.
My Interests
I have lots of interests but have currently been going through such a change in my life that I am trying to pursue new things.
I love my animals (2 goats, 3 dogs 1 bunny, 2 kittens) and I'd have a whole zoo if the rest of the family was more cooperative about it.
I love being near Mt. Shasta to go skiing in the winter and near Lake Shasta for boating and wakeboarding in the summer. The boys have motorcycles which they ride through the multitude of open trails up here in the mountains. I spend a lot of my time just working in the yard, garden,keeping the house cleaning under control, home maintenance,cooking, dog training, taxi service for Dad and the boys and that sort of stuff. Amazingly, I seem to really enjoy it. (Most of the time)
Employment or Career
Loan Officer/Broker
I still love working at the school with the Junior High / Special Education students. That's my real passion.
Music I Like
To tell you the truth, I just listen to whatever the boys have on as long as it's not the screaming type/or foul language. I like the OLDIES- which to my boys is the music from my teen years.(80's) But I like Alternative Rock-MatchBox 20, Savage Garden. I do like Pink, and some of those groups. I guess I always like Country. Reminds me of some of the great times in The Way.
Books I Like
I can't go wrong with a good romance novel. Otherwise I try to stay up on some of the Best Sellers and I always seem to be reading a new self help book I hear about whether it be about teen boys or aging parents. I'm always game for learning something new.
Television I like
Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, House, Brothers and Sisters... And Yes, I finally got sucked into Desperate Housewives. Tivo is the best 10 bucks I spend on entertainment. I can watch without commercials and fast-forward through the stupid parts. I also enjoy Amazing Race because I get to see some of the world. I hate all the bickering-that's where I fast-forward!!!!
Movies I like
I haven't seen a new movie in ages! Can't say I like certaiin movies but I like certain actors/actresses. I watch the movies because of them. Meg Ryan, Drew Barrymore, Tom Hanks, Denzel, and more but I swear the memory cells burn off with each child. As my husband says sometimes, we suffer from CRS. Can't remember shit!
Sports Teams I like
Always a Seahawks/Mariners Fan-For Colleges it's Ohio State, Univ. of Washington, and Michigan. Can't leave out the Foothill Cougars which is my boy's high school.
My husband is a huge Nascar and Drag Racing fan so I like Kevin Harvick (29)in Nascar and I have to root for Ashley Force in the Drags!!!!

So sweet of you to say hi to me, especially considering the fact that I used to scare the crap out of you, ha. I think I've always had somewhat of an intimidating personality, which God has softened through the years. It is amazing to me how the "real us" is the "Christ" in us and how it manifests as we renew our minds.
You are so sweet, I remember when I was 14 and I shared a room with you and Kathy. You poor kids! Sometimes you used to talk really fast; it was cute. How is your brother John? On my site there is a picture of me in a pair of over-alls that I gave to your brother John and he wore them alot! fUNNY I'd remember that. Give him my love. Say hi to your Dad
lOVE ya, Kelly
It's taken me a while to be making the rounds--also, I wanted to have a clear memory of you back then before I wrote. We didn't know each other well, but it's good to see you here and that you're doing well.

Remember Me??? Tommy from the Family corps. Great to see you here, so many faces from so long ago. Its pretty cool.
Sounds like you have been blessed and God is taking care of you and your family. We are well and blessed living in Hawaii. I haven't left since I came here as a WOW 22 years ago.
I see my Mom Patty, and my borther Terry usually once a year. I am married and have a 9 year old daughter, she is a wonderful little girl.
Please tell you family I said hello, where is John these days?? I saw him once a few years ago on his way threw Hawaii. But have not heard from him since. How is he doing?
Love to you and your family.
