Life Wow...let's see. First of all, I can not belive that we are all this old! lol Who would have ever thought we would all make it! Well...I live about 2 1/2 hours west of Elyria and have for the past 20 years. It's about 15 minutes from Indiana and Michigan...and VERY rural to say the least! The town in Called Bryan, Ohio if anyone ever decides to come through and look me up! lol I never in a million years thought I would ever leave Elyria or the city...but I have "converted" as all my old friends tell me. I actually love it and do not miss all the drama! Yes we have several farms and they do smell...and yes the cow/people ratio is larger! lol However, it has been a wonderful place to raise my children. I have an 19 year old son, Joshua and a 17 1/2 year old daughter, Kelsie. They are absolutely fabulous and I could not have been luckier. My son is in his first year of college and has recently told me it is much harder than he thought! He found out that in college you actually have to do work and not just show up! My daughter is in the final months of her junior year and will be a senior next yeat! By the way...for those of you that really knew me...my daughter is EXACTLY like me! wild, mouthy and doesnt take any crap! Who knew that threat that our parents threw at us "I hope you have a kid just like you" would ever be valid!!!! I'm just lucky...she alot "softer" than me and has a heart of gold.
