Why is it hard to talk about me? Some people do it all the time and there annoying. So here it goe's. I own and opperate a Repair facility with my husband. For those of you who have never worked, commuted and lived with your spouse 24-7 I highly don't recommend it. We have had some hurdles to jump and a story about our former land lord that cost us Thousands and got away with it. We have moved our business 2 times and I swore this would be the last. The hard knocks of being a small business owner is what has shaped me to the person I am today. I have had to deal with anger I thought I would never experiance, days that I didn't want to get out of bed. But the why is much stronger then the life struggles. That hunger to want more for my family to do more for my charities and how in my life for the first time I put God into my life. I have always been on the rebel side of things. I have 2 wonderful daughters that I am extremely close with. We play together a lot. Our passion is our horses. There's something about the outside of a horse thats good for the inside of your soul. I love my Dogs to. Annie our black lab is a hoot. I have had a lot of Dogs on my life but this one is totally entertainment. She is the most un-birdie bird dog you would ever meet. She plays chase with carol the turkey. Pretty funny! but Carol had a untimely death (no we did not eat her) you see carol would never shut up and basically called a Cougar right into our back yard. Not a good idea. We miss her.

I live in the Pacific Nw and I tolerate the rain in the Winter and I love this area other then that. I will be buying a winter home some where warm when my youngest graduates from School. I have 4 years to figure out where that will be.

I am going to be 48 in 09. Ouch that hurt! But on the other hand being totally finacially free by 50 Not Bad!

I will be married for 22 years this year. Amazing!  For those who have never been to Oregon you would be amazed at it's beauty.

It has it all. lakes, Rivers Coast, Snow! If your into the outdoors it's heaven.

I've been a 4-h leader for 15 years mentoring and coaching kids and the horse's. The one thing I know forsure horse's make good kids.

I am the youngest out of 5 girls and love all of my sisters. I had them all in town last September and we all went for a trail ride. I don't think we had ever done that, When we were kids we never had enough horse's to go around or more than likely we were fighting with each other and could care less. I use to avoid house work by getting on my horse and disapearing until dark. It worked most of the time.

I have the hang out house which is a good thing I always know where my kids are. I guess I'm the fun mom.

I am looking forward to meeting the new people who will be coming into our lives via the web.
