Love people not things. Use things not people. I am an animal lover (as anyone in my family knows that). I have 4 cats, 4dogs, and an aquarium. I live in Bonne Terre with my boyfriend, Rich Cheatham. I am going to be a stepmom of sorts to Rich's young children and they shoulfmd be coming to live with us soon. Looking forward to the mom experience. I enjoy going out on my pontoon and fishing. I love to go camping. I love to read, quilt, and talk to my sister, Marilyn. I have 6 tattoos and each one has a story and a special meaning to me. Wanting to get 2 more one of these days. I took care of my mother until she passed away in September (2011). I have been having a very difficult time in dealing with her loss. I miss her daily and there is so much that I would love to talk to her about and hear her advice. I work as a teacher for the Dept. of Corrections. I enjoy my job and look forward to continuing my education someday. I am finally happy in my life though I still struggle with depression from time to time. I don't remember the last time I truly felt happy until now.
