Since this was sort of my idea, I guess it's time I submit my story!!

I have been happily married for 39 years and have 3 wonderful children (living in Michigan, Hawaii, and North Carolina) and 4 beautiful grandchildren. I am very proud of my two sons who followed in their dad's footsteps and are US Marines. They have both served our country in Iraq 2 times. My husband, Ken, has been retired for the last 7 years, so we have been able to travel to where our grandchildren live more frequently and have enjoyed watching them grow up. I am still a "volunteer" at heart donating most of my time to my church family, my community, and projects such as organizing reunions. I love working on my computer, sudoku puzzles, biking, golf, camping, fishing, Wii games, and American Idol. That's me in a "nutshell."
