I have been married 16 years. I live in Mobile, Alabama now. My husband is a full time Associate Pastor/Minister of Music of a church of about 800. We love it. I am doing exactly what I put in the yearbook. I am a real estate Paralegal. How often does that happen?
I just wanted to say Hello. I hope all is well. My son who is in the 9th grade this year is going to a christian private school. I told him that I would not trade my expierence for the world.
Have a great year. God Bless!
