Patricia's Story
I'm remarried to an incredibly wonderful man. It took a long time, but I think we finally both found our soulmates! It was worth the wait.
I have two daughters, Kristin, 37, and Katie, 26. Kristin and her hubby have blessed me with a grandson, Nate, who's now almost 7 and a new granddaughter who just turned a year on June 6. They live 12 minutes away and I love it. Katie bought a horse farm about 15 minutes from me. She's got 36 horses and is more than a little busy training them, giving lessons and breeding some wonderful new foals. What a dream for her. They're both wonderful kids and I couldn't ask for better.
We just returned from our second trip to Hawaii for three weeks. What an incredible place. If you haven't been, make it one of those places you MUST see soon. It's nice going ...Expand for more
at our age since we don't have to take little ones along who can't seem to get on the time change routine.
My Job
I have been an elected official for almost 12 years. I'mnow the Mayor of our city of 43,000. It's an incredibly rewarding job (and I don't mean the money end of it!!!). I was involved in the City before as a member of our Planning Board. I'm heavily involved, through this job, with politics and know many of our state and federal elected officials. For the most part, they're a great group of people. A couple stand out because they graduated with me! One is David Strong who's now mayor of a city about 5 miles from me and another is David Marsden who was elected recently to the Virginia House of Delegates. Boy, the government teacher back then must have been pretty inspiring!!!
