What did you want to be when you grew up,did your family agree?
I always wanted to be a get married when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right, I'm a great wife and mother, but my husband made it easy to love what I'm doing..

If I could improve my home, I'd remodel kitchen, bedroom,bathroom and add on a pool. My dream home would be more comfortable.
As a parent what have you learned from your kids?
Be the kind of person you want them to grow to be, kind, loving, honest, lover of Christ, ever learning, fair and not judgemental to your fellow man.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to my church, then spend the rest on my family, friends, to give someone that I ran across that I thought needed it and live comfortable.
My current age is 51. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old and wrinkle. I was so completely wrong, 51 is the new 30's.
What would your bff tell others about you that some don't know?
My best friend would tell you I'm funny, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as conservative.
Do I dress 10 to 20 years younger:
Nah! I dress conservative but stylish,sophisticated.
I share my home with my husband,great and my mom, which I find a challenge.
Update: My mom just moved to Charolette NC with my brother Jeff, who is a Pastor there.
In 10 years, I hope to be loving my great grands, travel more. I'm going to get there by prayer and faith.
My longest friend is :
Carolyn, met in church, we were discovering Christ, and we love to eat out.
The craziest thing that I did when I was a kid was:
When my siblings and some friends played on the phone " I know who you are and what you did" or " Is your freig running, then you better catch" and one call this man said I know who you are and where you live and 20mins. later he showed up at our back door, naked, we ran out the front door to the neighbors house screaming and theat was the last call we made like that.
What I want to do in the next two years?
I would love to go to a Class Reunion, meet up with new friends.
