Wow- I can't believe it's
been ten years! Time flys when you're having fun! I went to VSU for a couple of years, took a break to become a flight
attendant with American Airlines. Loved flying but quickly
realized that I didn't like not being able to afford food AND shelter
in San Franciso so I quit
flying and moved to Atlanta. I've been in Atlanta for almost 7 years and love it. I work
in insurance (Group Consulting) for a brokerage. No husband or kids for me- bought a condo
in Midtown Atlanta where I live with my cat named Boo and my newest baby, a 5 month
old Labradoodle puppy named Chewie.

trips with my church to Costa Rica and the Bahamas. I managed the billing department over a state
wide transportation company for a while but that gave me
to much stress and to many hours past 40 a week I was having to put in so now I work
as a secretary in an accounting firm, it pays the bills and I don't
have to take work or stress
home at the end of the night. I
got married in 2005 to a wonderful man named Francisco

12 years this past June. Maggie(6) is in first grade. She is doing wonderful in school.
She reads at a second grade level and makes 100s on all her spelling tests. Cadie(3)
will start a church pre-k this coming fall. She's learning to recognize her letters and
numbers. She's also practicing writing her name. She draws the cutest little stick people!
I'm still staying at home with them, probably until Cadie is at least in first grade. I
love to scrapbook and cake decorate. I make handmade invitations for the girls' parties. I still love to read. James
is an electrician. I appreciate how hard he works so I can stay home
with the girls. We love spending time as a family. Recently we took the girls to their
first truck/tractor pull, that was fun. We adopted Gracie, a rottweiler
from the pound in 2007.
She'll be 3 in December. She is a great addition to our family and is especially protective
of the girls and me. I am very Blessed to have my life and I am thankful for it.
