I live in California & I am 56 years young. I love to garden. Something wonderful always happens to make me feel God’s presence. From the birds chirping, to the little seedlings poking their heads out of the dirt…He is there all around me. My heaven on earth.
I am soon to turn 38, live in Walton, KY and enjoy reading in my spare time.
My name is Ann J. I live in Meridian, MS. I love being able to help people who are often forgotten. My passion is loving them and helping them find God. We serve in our local food pantries, blankets for the homeless and missions team in Venezuela.
I am from Madison Wisconsin, excited to see a few other Wi here too. We have been blessed with a mild winter here in the midwest but I think March will still give us one big storm.

46, married, and raising two boys (18 and 13).
I enjoy volunteering to support our sons’ extracurriculars (marching band and orchestra), and meeting and working with other parents. When work is done, I like having some time on my comfy couch, watching a movie, having conversation with my family or enjoying a good book. I also like to cook and bake and try new recipes. In the summer months, I love to be outdoors and soaking up some vitamin D – walking, gardening, traveling and exploring God’s beautiful creation. We’ve had a mild winter this year, and it’s been so wonderful that we can go for Sunday afternoon walks in the middle of February!
yea another marching band Mom
Dont know why but I love field trips
when to huron HS
Hey Delene!
Yes, Go Band! It has been wonderful fun for us these past 4 years, to get to know the other kids and parents and to watch the students perform. It will be a new adventure this fall when our oldest heads to college, but our younger son is in band/orchestra too, so we’ll get another round. In April I get to chaperone the HS band to San Antonio for their rotational band trip, and I’m looking forward to that. I work from home, so it will be a real treat for me to travel and get away, even if it means a REALLY long bus ride and not much sleep! For you TX gals, I’m looking forward to visiting your state! I’ve never been there before.
Hello! I am now residing in Kettering Ohio. I am on the edge of 45 and happy with that.

Thank you for such nice package and many thanks for encouraging our growth and confidence – best gift ever to find a willing mentor. Thank you – Thank you!
I am 40 years old and live in Vicksburg, MS. My favorite free time spent is cooking and/or baking. Being a military wife, I spend a lot of time with other wives. We are not located at a “post” so we have a small, but strong, support group. Our newest endeavor is to do a book study, that is Christain/faith based, on preparing our hearts for deployment. I also more than enjoy time spent with family when they come to visit.
