I'm a very laid back person for the most part. My family and friends mean the most to me, and why I'm stressing, should we take chances on returning to my homestate? or stay where we have our current jobs and very little else it seems...
Let's see, what else? I collect tins, ones that look like houses/buildings. I love garage sales, what I call treasure hunts. I love music, artistic things all around me, paintings of the outdoors, scented candles (I never have enough), antiques, flowers and plants that bring in the outdoors for me.
I never get enough of the outdoors and why I go through cabin fever in the winter. I crave the sunshine and sitting outside with a soft breeze. My ideal place would be someplace near a lake/ocean, or surrounded by trees and animals in nature. birds, deer....
I love animals and would have a zoo if I could. I grew up with animals always around, and wanted to bring that to my kids, that unconditional love.

Heroes/Idols:
My heroes? My three kids who, have gone through the ups and downs with us, and know life doesn't owe them anything....It's up to them to decide what they truely want out of life// My adopted father, who's lost in his own word of dementia, who never had a college education, but was one of the brightest men I knew, always the silent one who worked at farming, and the Iowa State University Metal Research Lab to support his family// My mother, who has survived cancer twice, gone through her shares of heart aches......and shown me how to be a true survivor and always have a sence of humor and joy in life// The residents I take care of at work, though disabled, they have so much to offer and have become my second family// All the ones I have lost in my life, that have become the angels that surround me....
