So, this is who I am. I am a working mother of two beautiful children (16 and 4!) who enjoys climbing our family tree, listening to music, watching StarTrek (the series and the movies), taking walks and playing on my computer (Sims is always a good escape!) I have a degree in Business Administration and two insurance designations (ICA and ACS.) I am also the daughter of a US Marine Corps drill Instructor! Semper Fi!

I was born in SE Iowa, but have lived in numerous places since birth. I spent my first 11 1/2 years in Illinois around the Pekin and Peoria area (where most my relatives on both my parent's sides still live) and then in Golden, Colorado until I was 22 1/2. I graduated high school there in 1982 and still consider it home. It's where I had the best times of my life. I currently live in Papillion, Nebraska and although it is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, I still miss the Rockies. Nothing compares to them.

	Breathtaking sunset--couldn't resist. Am I strange and unusual? The end of the day is my favorite time. No more ringing telephones or whiny customers or bosses who can't make up their minds what they want you do or how to do it. It's such a peaceful time--the kids are in bed, it's cool outside and the locusts are singing. Nothing better.
