Shawna Raines:  

Life I moved from Billings, to Phoenix, AZ 18 years ago, and have remained in Az. since. When I was very young (16), I had my Daughter, Brittnay, whom I gave up for adoption. We have always remained in close contact. She turned 18 in October, 2006. Where does the time go? She still resides in Billings, with my Grandmother. My former profession, was in the Commercial Real Estate Management and Consulting career field. It was my favorite, of many professions I was successful in. Currently I am an owner of a hair company, in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have never been back to Billings, since I moved to Phoenix. But, I remember how beautiful, yet cold, it was.

As much as I loved him, unfortunately, We/I could not make our marriage work. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish him the best in his life, love, career (recently began a new steel business venture he always wanted to own. It's located in Phoenix, where we both reside). Rob is a devoted, dedicated, carrer-minded man. He's a hard worker, devoted completely to his career. I am certain he will do very well in his business ventures. Recently, I bought a new home. Once the construction was complete in mid August 2006, I moved...Expand for more
