In 1994 I had saved enough money for a down payment to build my own house, so I built in Hazen on a dead end road, I loved it! Then I was married in November of 2000 and sold my house in 2001 after renting it for a while - big mistake, when you see someone not taking care of something you worked so hard for I destroys you, I have been back down that road one time to see it. Since the year 2000 I have stopped smoking, gained weight (my husband says I am content - yeah right!),I have had two lower back surgeries and it seems the back just keeps getting worse so I have thrown myself into Fishing and Hunting, they are my passions now. I figure I better get as much in while I can. When fishing my husband does not like to stay out all day, but I do whether they bite or not, I just love to be out there! I am okay with Deer Hunting a bit to slow for me though, and usually too many bugs! My husband gets so mad at me because I do not get excited about Deer hunting. I used to have a motorcycle, Honda V65, but other people scare me too much - on the way to work I would think about how bad it would hurt to hit the pavement. I wanted a few goats when we bought the house to clean up the fence rows, then my husband let them have babies - we have a regular petting ZOO now! My husband and I are pretty much home bodies, too many varmints to tend to, those horses are a handful. When my stepdaughter came to live with us she was going to ride barrels, poles, and train them to do different things - Have not done a one yet! Hey but we do have a F250(big payment), a 6 horse trailer, various tack, and many hundreds of hundreds of feet and labor on fencing and a horse barn - KIDS, now I understand why my dad made me work for everything, I sure did appreciate it when I finally got something I wanted. Oh and I love gardening, its just by back and ever thing else does not. I thought I was being punished by having the crappy car (the red tornado) and having to pay my bills, did not see the light then but I do now, only took 20 years.

It is pretty much blurry - don't know if anyone else is having memory troubles besides me - but talking to a few has brought back some, I know I did not file 13 them but they are pushed back behind everything else I have to remember now.
I remember going to the Heart Concert with Terri Scott, and the Motley Crew Concert in Memphis with Jami Tait, and the AC/DC Concert with Tamera Prevatt, now that I talked to Terri.
And I will never forgot the Study Hall's with Jason Roth, Lanelle O'Neal, and many others, we had a blast! Wow Yolanda has not lost any of her height! (unlike me) Can not and will not ever forget Mrs. Meinholz, I know now dealing with Chrystal's English Teachers, she was tough but at least she taught us responsibility. My stepdaughter was asked last year if I was returning to another parent teacher conference because I put it bluntly to her English teacher that she needed to stop spoon feeding these kids. We need thousands of Mrs. Meinholz for the kids now days!
