About Me
I was working as a teachers aide at a local elementary school when I was dx. I worked with special ed students and loved my job. I continued to work for a few more years but finally needed to give it up. I miss the people but enjoy the freedom of less stress in my days. My husband went back to work for the company he retired from, they made him an offer he could not refuse.Our ultimate goal is still, to get closer to our children and specifically our first grand baby. I really enjoy going to Curves for a thirty minute work out that seems to help and I enjoy socializing.
