Valerie's Story
Life
Hey folks! Wondering what I've been up to over the last 28 years? Then why didn't you CALL me? =-)
I left Maryland after graduation and moved to Italy with my family. I ran all over Europe, mostly backpacking with a friend, also named Valerie, also a red head. We had a blast.
I met and eventually married an American serving in the Air Force in Bavaria in 1980. We moved back to the US when he got out of the AF and moved to FL so he could go to college. We hated FL so much that he did his AS in one year and we moved to Colorado with our newborn son.
We lived in Colorado, at the foot of Pikes Peak for about 2 years. I opened a small shop selling handmade children's items.
My husband really wanted to be near his family so we moved to PA, where his family lived. While living in PA, I gave birth to more children, I home educated them, grew a large veggie garden and lived sort of a "Leave it to Beaver" lifestyle.

ecided to go for it. We moved into a reproduction antique cape on 5 acres in the middle of no where and settled down.
A few years later, I got a horse and a goat to keep her company. I really enjoyed the goats and decided to get into a business making goat cheese and selling it to restaurants. I now sell to over 45 restaurants in NH and up the coast of Maine, producing over 10,000 pounds of cheese per year.
In June, 2007, I filed for divorce. It was a tough decision but one I will never regret. In Nov, 2008, I married the most amazing man, Robin Jarvis. I met him on Match.com and, I have to say, we are perfectly matched for each other.
Between us, we have 15 children and 5 grandchildren. We work together on the farm and laugh a lot.
I'm more at peace at this age than I have been in a long while. I have an amazing husband, fabulous children, a good church and great friends. My business is still growing every year. I live in a beautiful place. It all keeps me smiling.
