About me: I am a 43 year old mother of three by both adoption and birth. My babies are 17, 14, and 13 and in 12th, 8th and 7th grade. They are my pride and joy and the best thing I have ever done! My oldest son is all about guitar (acoustic and electric), PS2, xbox360 (yes, we have one), his dog, UT football and rock&roll. My daughter is into art, singing, band (flute), the phone, IMing, her cat and all the other things that go with being a tween. My youngest son is all about computers, writing, acting, gaming, girls and his dog.
My husband and I have been married for 22 years, together for 23. We married when I was 21 and he, 42.
I served as a pastor for 13 years before leaving ministry so that my family would not have to move. Then I worked in the software industry for several years. Right now, I am writing. My first book, "Hey Mom! It's Jesus!" came out in May of 2004. My second book, Writing the Wrongs: Stories of Survival, will tell the stories of survivors of sexual abuse. If you have a story you would like to share, I would love to include it. Message me here for details.
Oh, and once, with my best friend, I was a mime.
