My story . . . hmmmm! I am 48 years young, single mother to two incredible adult son's.

I am the youngest of four. one sister and two brothers. My Mother will be turning 78 at the end of June and could be in much better health than she is. Dad however succumbed to his Bladder Cancer on April 10. I am missing him greatly! My mother struggles with healthy habits but I truly believe it is just age talking. I have been told that I don't look like my siblings and I have to say that it is due to me not participating in my genes. I refuse to follow in my families footprints.

I have always, with the exception of the temperary insanity years of when my boys were born, tried to stay active and take care of myself. My days now are filled with working in the corporate offices of the largest independently owned Mortgage company, mixing in workouts before, during and after work, then off to various different social events in the evenings and weekends.

My hobbies seem to have gone by the way side but I am going to take them up again. Several years ago my boys got me into building small wooden ships. No, not the ones in the glass bottles. The first one took me a year and a half to construct. It is made out of 15 different exotic hard woods and has about 720 tiny little brass nails in the hull alone. It is gorgeous. I have made two more since then with my sites on doing two more. I also enjoy wood carving.

I have been known to do all my own repairs, that is if I can get my hands on the right tools. I have roofed a house, fixed electrical problems and also a little plumming. My last project was replacing the motor in my passenger side door of my car that operates the window. I shovel my own sidewalks and have been known to help dig out others in our frequent snow falls. I am not one that can sit back and wait for someone to do it for me. :) I love to cook but it is hard to do that for just one now. However, the Pasta Fagioli recipe in the MBD kitchen is fabulous. I am an novice photographer (but don't have good pics of myself) want to take watercolor classes, skydive, maybe bungy jump a time or two. Too much to do and not enough time.

My youngest son has just graduated with a major in Theatre and Acting at UNC in Greeley Colorado (and has just moved back home) Like every other parent alive I wish him nothing but the best. Best part is that I have him doing P90X with me.

My older son has been married four years now to a beautiful, strong woman. They bought their first home at the age of 21 and are doing pretty well for themselves. I think their thinking of trying to make me a grandmother within the next couple of years so my goal is to definitely not look like one. :) He is currently making his way through boot camp at Ft Benning GA. A soldier with the 198 Infantry in the CO National Gaurd, Special Forces. His ambition is to be a member of our elite, the Green Beret. Please keep him in your prayers. My goal is to be the youngest lookin and best shaped mother at his graduation at the end of August.
