I've spent the last ten years working for the government as a contracting officer and bouncing all over the US. I've seen some neat places and lived in some awesome areas. My old office was backed up to the mountains in CO. before that, San Antonio, Panama City Beach and a few others. I've gotten tired of moving and was trying to get closer to DFW without going back to that mess and ended up here in Fort Smith. I'm on the third and final wife.
