About Me

My photo
I am married to my best friend. We have three daughters (2 are my husband’s and one is mine) and a son (my husband’s, all are grown and not living with us. Four grandchildren (all from my husband’s kids). I have worked in the insurance industry for 30 years, like most in the industry, it was not my life long dream, but I am passionate about my job. I love to read, but there is not enough time in the day. I have stacks of books I want to read and a list to buy. I am an only child; wish I had brothers or sisters. I do have a sister in law; she is a kick in the pants (funny and cool). I have been on Weight Watchers since February 2008 and lost 45lbs! I feel great. I reached my goal weight, the last few pounds were the hardest!

Update on the goings on of the family.

Things have been crazy around here. I had been studying for a national exam to earn a designation from a class on delivering insurance services I took last summer. I did not think I would pass the test, but lo and behold I did it!!! I was so excited I had to tell everyone at work (not something I would normally do). Next is obtaining my insurance license, a requirement of my new possition at work. That should be a hoot! Being in the business for almost 30 years (oh my, I'm old!) and having to finally get my license. This is defiantly stepping out of my comfort zone.

On another note. Amy and Seth made it to Pennsylvania, it took a week driving. I'm sure they are glad to be off the road for a while. I hope she will start a blog to share their adventure with friends and family. She was sick part of the trip and had to go to urgent care. Turns out she had strep throat.

Jennie just got a new car. She is so happy, it will be much more dependable than the old Saturn she had. She is doing great at her job, she was employee of the month!

A drive clear across the country. What an adventure. Probably a lot more fun when you are not sick, poor thing. It would be great to see her have a blog. There is so much history back there and she is such a good writer! Keep us posted.
