Welcome to my Web site!

Their dream of raising their kids in the country found them hot the trail of a new home in Montana. Since I had started to help out on the new website, I was asked if I would make the journey with them and stay for at least 6 months to help get everything in order. I had recuperated from my surgeries so I took the job, 1586 miles away... Take a look at where we ended up. [pictures] In addition to the beautiful surroundings, I bought my first home on 2 acres, 3 bds 2 bath with a 2 1/2 car attached garage just 1/4 mile away from work. I also found a new church where I was to meet my husband Dave. It was truly a leap of faith that turned out to be a chance of a life time. It  has been the best decision I've made in my life, other than becoming a Jesus Freak.

I traded in my sports car after the first time I got stuck in the snow and have a Jeep now, as you can see by the picture gallery if you've ventured that far yet. It's out of necessity here since we do get a bit of bad weather once in awhile and the snow can get a bit deep for a city rig. Here in Montana we do talk a bit funny I must admit. It's not a creek, it's a crik. All animals are critters unless they got antlers and then they are described by how many points they have on the antlers. Four points on one side and four on the other are not an 8 point elk or deer as most would think by adding the points together. It's considered to be a 4 x4, but not like in a rig, also known as a truck, camper, SUV, or car.

Dave my husband is a hunter, and yes I have a bear skin rug on the wall of my living room and our newest addition of "Buck" the Mule Deer of 2005. I have to give him credit as he's an Archery Hunter which takes a lot more skill and timing than just shooting a gun. And they aren't the kind of arrows or bow that I remember as a kid with the knobby ends and a single string. The bow looks like a contraption of sorts and the arrows are razor sharp tri-points that he assures me is a more humane way for the animal to die. (less stress...)

Me personally, killing Bambi is never going to be a wonderful concept to me. However, the venison meat that we eat as steaks, or sausage is of a better quality than any lean beef steak I've ever tasted. Again, I had to take my stand on a couple more things. I don't want to watch the animal die, I will not participate in butchering it in any way and it must come into my kitchen in white paper or wrapped in plastic on a Styrofoam tray. Ok, so I sound a bit unrealistic, but it's my reality and I like it that way....

Like a lot of women of my generation I was busy with a career and never seemed to find the right guy at the right time to settle down and have a family. We have, or should I say I had before Dave met me, three cats that we call our babies. They are a bit easier than children as cats can bath themselves, find their own way to the food and water, don't need to be walked, and they go to the bathroom in the same place every time. (as long as you remember to clean the litter box out, often.) I wonder sometimes if I made the right choice waiting so long to get married. I just knew deep inside that I wanted to get married one time and that would be it. I did have the fairy tale wedding, with the white dress with the long train, Dad walking me down the aisle, friends and family attending and a Honeymoon in Yellowstone National Park.

As far as having kids, well I get to play auntie to 8 and one more on the way, of my brother's and sister's kids, thanks Dan and Sheila for doing all the hard work. (They have 5 with 1 more on the way) Not to forget my younger brother Andrew  who is married to a beautiful gal Naomi and her son Tanis who now have a new little girl named Rhys who is sooo the Daddy's girl. My younger sister Elizabeth graduated from college in Indiana with a double major, cum laude. Way to go Sis... who is Site Manager of the IKON Office Solutions in Daly City .( went to college to become a lawyer, go figure) After meeting and falling in love with Greg they just recently added another little niece to the family, Caliana Star (I call her my C-Star that lives by the Sea Shore. Someday she  will bring me sea shells when she comes to visit the big sky where the wild things live, and we will walk along the forest floor and find rocks and sticks and see all of the big trees and look for the animals that live in the woods.)  Both of my brothers have been involved with computers for a number of years now, Dan is a certified MCSE Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, and Andrew states that he is Linux "Guru". I am a co-leader of a local Girl Scout Troop and Dave works with troubled teens at a lodge up in the mountains. We get to work with kids and then go home to our little piece of heaven here in Montana.

And so the story goes...
