Well, one day I was born and then....you thought this was going to be a long, drawn out post??? Well as my sister will tell you, I don't remember much from gr owning up, oh I remember some birthdays and Christmases, vacations and other monumental events, but she remembers what she was doing on July 4th, 1976 I am sure. Oh wait, I remember that one!! It was the Bicentennial year and I was at Gibson City's Bicentennial Parade, standing in front of my future husband's house (I didn't know that at the time - I think he was dating my sister at that time). Wow I do remember more than I thought.
Anyway here is what I wanted to share. I grew up in central Illinois, married my high school sweetheart when I was 18, graduated from nursing school when I was 19, had our first daughter a few months later after I had turned 20 and then another daughter when I was 27. I have been married to Jim for almost 30 years, it will be 30 years in October. So yes, now you can figure out how old I am, I am glad someone can, because I always think I am still in my thirties(that would be hard to explain the 28 year old daughter then....)
We moved to Arkansas 27 years ago and this is now home. I am a registered nurse who hasn't done nursing for about 11 years (previous life was dialysis nurse). I know fix computers instead of people and help K-12 students and teachers along the way.
My husband and I are empty-nesters with our youngest daughter getting married in July. Our oldest daughter has her own home about 3 hours from us, makes it hard for Dad to come fix things, but he manages to get it done!
So this is my great adventure up to know, or at least Part 1. Just wanted to give you a little background of me - maybe it will be helpful, maybe not, but here it is.
