I have been through many life changes! All for the best I am sure. After Jeff had his mid life crisis and skipped out, I got back on my feet and married a wonderful, loving man, Brad. He gave me a large family as you can see from the list of children, which keep me very busy and crazy most of the time. I had a great career in banking until I retired in 2005. I moved to Oklahoma almost a year ago to help my mom with my 95 year old grandfather. If any of you remember me talking about my Papaw, he's the one that takes a lickin', but keeps on tickin'! His mind is sharp and I credit that to his passion for college football in which he still keeps up on facts about every recruit and knows more than ESPN. But, his body is failing, so my mom takes care of him during the day, and I put him to bed at night. That is the least I can do since he carried me around until I was 10 and my feet were dragging the floor! I work for the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah as an auditor for the Gaming Commission so I am back with my peeps. I absolutely love it and am very thankful for that. I go home on the weekends to our cabin in Pineville to see my husband and usually some of the kids and grandkids. New memories are being made and life is good!

There are so many, I wouldn't know where to start. I loved the social life more than school and it makes me smile to think about all the crazy things that happened from 2nd grade, when I moved from Oklahoma, on up. My first friend was Lionel Smiles because he was the only one that did not make fun of my Oklahoma accent and took up for me when the others did!
