Brenda's Story
Life
After high school I joined the Navy, boy was that great. I met my husband aboard the ship we were on. We married, had 2 children, Jazmynn and Brandon.
After the Navy, I went to college and got my associates degree in Accounting. I now live in the country above Triangle Lake. After 9/11 I lost my job and started having flashbacks of the USS Stark. I became a stay at home foster mom. In 2003 Wesley 3 and his sister Hailie 2 blessed our home. these kids grabbed our heart strings and wouldn'' let go. Our adoption became final in 2007. I love my life, past, present and the future looks awesome. I would not change a thing. everything that has happened in my life brought me closer to where I am at and everyone who has been a part of my life has made me who I am today. LAUGH OFTEN, LOVE ALWAYS AND SMILE DAILY. :)

Wow, that was awhile ago......Jazmynn is now 17 and Brandon will be 15 in about 2 weeks. My husband and I are no longer foster parents and are still waiting to adopt our two younger children. In July of 07 Jims daughter who will soon be 17 will be coming to live with us for the year...Maybe longer who knows. Anyway, life is still great and we still live on a farm.
Live each day as though it were your last.... :)

Jims daughter could not take rules and not getting her way so she moved out and is now living back in Texas. Brandon is now 16 and got his license to drive yesterday.....Freedom, he is loving it. Wesley our youngest boy is growing so fast and loves snakes and lizards....Hailie is a dr...Expand for more
ama girl, she cracks me up every day....Today she said, "Mom, my tongue really hurts when I bite it" LOL of course it does... :) Never a dull moment here.
My husband Jim is doing good. He is a truck driver for a local company and works 3 days a week and drives me nuts the other 4. :) We are good together. 20 years of marriage and still going strong. I love my husband very much and we do have our difficult times and it is not always easy. communication and compromising seems to help a lot.
I myself am doing good, loving life and living each day as it comes. I am living the American dream. :)

Life does get better when you get older..Who would have known??? Jaz is now going to college and working. She is not really liking the Adult world with all the day to day bull that life throws everyone. Brandon is a Senior this year. :) He has started off the school year by getting all his work in. YEAH!! Wes and Hailie are keeping us all busy, they are both in soccer and I am Hailies coach. Yeah, attention span of a worm. This should be a fun season coaching 1st and 2nd graders. Jim and I are doing great, soon to be celebrating 21 yrs. Wow, it doesn't seem that long. Yes, we truly are blessed.
Remember to Live each day as it comes, Love with your whole heart and Laugh daily cause life is to short to do anything else. :)
