About Me
I am 50 year old California gal- Married to my high school sweetheart now 29 years -2 big dogs, 2 beautiful daughters, 2 handsome son-in-laws and 3 wonderful grandchildren (#4 due in November!) I believe that life is what you make it, I work very hard at staying positive and not allowing MSA to get me down; however, there are times where it gets tough and that is where my faith in the Lord, Family, Friends and PLM network of the friends I have made here come in! My motto...MSA does not define me...it is merely an extension of who I am.
