Valerie's Story
Life
Hey ya'll! :) Let's see, I started dating my hubby 21 years ago, I have two incredible children aged 18& 16, my daughter is my very own mini me(poor kid even has my high forehead and freckles she's very artistic (gifted according to the state of Ohio) and plays in the high school band and loves being in school plays :). My son is a handsome charmer, he is a soon to be Eagle Scout, works hard at his job and has gotten his first speeding ticket, 75 in a 55! Lucky dude got off with court costs and a class! I wish I could have freeze dried my children because I cannot believe how quickly they have grown. My children are the best things I've ever done in my life, the Lord has blessed me tenfold!! My husband, Scott, is a stone mason, with a heart even more beautiful than his amazing blue eyes, and as for me, I've been a stay at home mom, who has an unquenchable thirst for ancient and Biblical history, and I'm currently working on a book, hey, I can dream can't I?!!!
In the meantime, I'm happy in West Jeff, in Scott's family farm house, and my 2 1/2 acres, 1 lamb, 5 dogs, and 2 cats.
I coached my daughter's cheerleading squad, for 7 years, it's was something we enjoy t...Expand for more
ogether and I just adored all of my girls :) I never thought she'd be a band geek, but, I'm glad she is, she's smart, fights for what she believes in, and gets pissed when she gets one B on her report card!
Life is very, very good!
School
As I'm growing older I realize how stupid I was in school, I sold myself short. It took me years to realize my true potential and value. I can't tell you how long it took me to stop defining myself by what I believed other people thought of me, and to learn to just enjoy being me and to live up to my standards and not those of others. It took my two teen aged kids to teach me that, especially, my daughter, Maggie. She proudly marches to her own drummer and I truly wish I could have had the strength to just be me. Maggie is is truly content being her, and she is teaching me how to do the same. Of course when you're going to turn 40 soon you should wake up and have an epiphany and I have, it's okay to be Valerie. She's not that bad. :) I have toyed with getting my GED and going to college for behavioral science, I think it's a dream I can make happen But my kids insist that it's not at a college they will go too, lol.
