I am a mother of two kids, 16 and 11. I have been married for 17yrs and live on a farm. I work part time at a nursing home, I love it. This is not me in the picture. I just liked it the pic. My husband was in millitary for 20 years, but he was never called up to go overseas. Thank GOD. He says he misses it alot. But I don't. We run a farm with the help of my in-laws. We love them both very much. We are lucky that we all get along. My kids are lucky too. they only live a mile away, so if they want they can go over and visit when ever they want. Right now we are enjoying the snow. We go out and tke the snow mobiles for a drive, or go for a walk in the trees with the dogs. I don't think I told you we have cows, chicken, goats, and lots of cats here on the farm, and I better not for get our dogs. Missey is the protecter. Buddy is the loving one. They are both german shephards. Great gaurd dogs!! In the future thou, I would like to get a little dog. Maybe when the kids are gone. My daughter is a 10th grader, so we are busy thinking about what she is going to do after high school. She has some learning disabilties, but I think she can make it with some help in the world. Our son, he is only 11, so we have awhile. We try to take a vacation every year. This year we are going to Vegas and hawaii. We usually just go to vegas, but we are bringing my mother in law. She has been to Hawaii, a few times, so she will show us around.  Can't wait!! It has been cold here for way to long, and we need some warm weather!!  My interest are gardening, hunting, this computer!!, my kids, my hubby, farming( thats where our $$$ comes from), vacationing and i like to try different typs of tea. Right now i am drinking Jasmine, not to bad. Its like drinking flowers. I better stop, I can keep writing, but I feel like I am boring you. I came to this web site to get some info on weight loss and exersizing. I would love to lose about 25 lbs. Take care and hope to hear from you soon!! Happy holidays!
