Tony  
My husband of almost 7 years.  He's a year older than me.  Tony's tall, long haired, with a pierced septum.  He is the love of my life and an amazing man.  He's is extremely intelligent, even though he won't admit it.  He knows more than a single person should.  He has a gruff exterior and allows very few people into his life.  I'm lucky to be one of the few.  He's fiercely loyal, loves his family and would do anything to protect them.  

I could go on for pages about how wonderful Tony is.  I love him more than I ever imagined loving anyone in my entire life.  He's sexy, smart, has a wonderful sense of humor.  He takes care of me.  If I'm sick he brings me medicine, when I'm down he holds me.  If I'm crying he wipes my tears away.   

He believes in me.  He shares his life and his heart with me.  I can not imagine my life without him.   

Right now, he's in school studying to become an engineer.  He has an amazing grasp of all things mechanical and would have gotten the castaways off of Gilligan's island within an hour.   
 
 

My Family 

Front - Mom Left to right Dad, Mary, Richie, Me, Katie

Mom What can I say, she's my Mom.  47, now, 17, when she had me.  She's a Switch Board Supervisor in a Medical Practice.  Mom to 4, Grandma to 2. She's stubborn, head strong, and well, I'm like her in that manner.  Her and Daddy have been married almost 30 years. 

Dad My Daddy, 51, works for the Virginia Department of Transportation.  He looks mean as a snake, but he's a big old softie.  He loves his kids and Grandkids, fiercely.  I look very much like him, he looks very much like his Mom.  

Mary 27, my first sister.  A teacher of middle school students, involved with a man.  She's extremely different from me.  She dresses very nicely, always has her hair and makeup done.  She's also working on her Master's Degree.  

Katie 25, my baby sister.  Mom to Kyrsie, in the process of divorcing her husband.  She's the assistant manager of a hotel.  She's insanely funny, a pain in my butt (at times) but, I love her.  

Richie 21, the baby of us kids.  Daddy to Tre, dating Lori.  He's a painter (buildings.)  He's slowly but surely becoming himself and learning how to be a Dad.  I'm closer to him than my sisters. 

Kyrsie 
5 years old, my sweet little niece.  She is very rambunctious, wild, yet, loving.  She's smart as a whip, when she's not being a smart ass.  She is definitely one of us. 
 
 

Tre 
19 months old, born August of 2003.  Tre is one of the sweetest, most happy babies I have ever seen.  He loves Green Beans, Oatmeal, and cuddles.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
  

Charles Ronald - Born February 2005. 

Lori Richie's girlfriend, Tre's Mommy.  19, and growing into herself.  She's a housekeeper and a wonderful Mom to Tre. 

Granny My Grandma, Mom's Mom.  In her late 70s, still works, even though she "retired" years ago.  Granny does more in one day than most 20 year olds.  She's a wonderful, intelligent woman. 

Tony's Family  
pics not included for privacy's sake 

Mom Mom of 2, Grandma to 1.  Mom is the definition of family first. Her family always comes first, even before herself.  She's worked a lot of different jobs, including car salesman and realtor.  Now, she's a stay at home Grandma.  Her and I are a lot alike, which can cause us to butt heads, except she's very conservative, and well, I'm not, which also causes us to butt heads.  But, we love one another very much.  She did a wonderful job raising Tony and for that I am very grateful.  She's also one hell of a cook. 

Dad Quiet, yet extremely smart.  He was a construction foreman, but now is a Papa to Timmy.  He has a sharp sense of humor and he only picks on you if he likes you.  

Timmy 
12, sweet as can be, nephew of ours.  Timmy is a darling boy.  He has autism, but, with his Grandparents help he has come more and more out of his shell.  He's very intelligent, but, very stubborn.  This is an old picture of him, he's now more than 5 foot tall and a big fellow.  He's going to be a giant of a man, with the heart of a kitty cat. 
 
 
 

Angie Slightly older than Tony, Angie is his sister and Timmy's Mom.  She does something with computers for an insurance company.  She's living on the other side of the country, working to make a better life for her and Timmy.   

Friends  
These are my closest friends in the world.  We've all known one another for years, gone through thick and thin together.  From bad relationships, the loss of loved ones, to marriages and work.  These four people are the ones I trust most in the world.  

Stacy 
In his 30s, Stacy is a Federal Contractor, Daddy to Lexi and Sammy, married to Jo-Anne for almost 10 years.  He's insane, wickedly funny and sarcastic.  He'd give you the shirt off his back, unless you crossed him.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

Jo-Anne 
Another one of my dear friends.  She's a stay at home Mom to Lexi and Sammy.  Her and Stacy are perfect for one another, as they are a matched set.  We've been friends for almost 18 years. 

 
 
 
 
 

Tracey 
What can I say about Tracey?  She's insane, a hussy, a loudmouth, who doesn't back down, and she's one of my best friends.   She's should be queen of the world.  She comments regularly on my entries, and yes, she's allowed to call me Ho.  No, you are not. 
 
 
 

Danny 
I went to High School for a couple years with Danny and we've been friends ever since.  His Daddy to two sweet girls, works in concrete, let me rephrase that, works too hard in concrete.  A wonderful man and a great friend.  This isn't a good picture of him, and he'll probably beat me for posting it.  And shout out Arrooooga! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Kids 
Lexi 
5, quiet, sweet, wonderful child.  She's very shy, unless she knows you.  She's waiting to be a big sister. 

Sammy  Newborn with a whole different personality from his sister. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

The date on this picture is wrong, but these are Tracey's and Danny's darlings. 
Daniel 14 No way, that can't be right.  I've known him since he was in diapers.  Smart kid, who doesn't apply himself.  He lives with Tracey far away from us now.  He's growing up to be a very cute young man and I can see his Mom having to beat the girls off with sticks.  I need a new picture of him to put up here. 

James 10  James has really grown up a lot in the past couple of years.  He does wonderfully in school.  He lives locally with his Daddy. 

Danny's Girls I very seldom get to see them and don't mention them by name due to privacy reasons.  Beautiful little girls, though.
