I thought it would be fun to get to each other a little better by playing a game.
10 Things You Don't Know About Me

1. I am a wife, a Mom to 3 (2boys ages 24&25 and a girl age 17) and Grandma to 1 boy (age 2)
2. I am a mechanic in an otherwise all male shop, I work on automated machinery for USPS
3. I donate blood on a regular basis
4. I love cross country hiking and mountain climbing
5. I am a true New Englander heart and soul
6. I have a small zoo in my household (2 lion-headed rabbits, 3 dogs, 2 Sphynx's and a Rocky mountain horse (well technically he lives in a barn LOL)
7. One of my favorite hobbies is cake decorating
8. Somewhere along the line being a wife and Mom...I have lost my own identity...yet gained so much more of me
9. I struggle daily with emotional eating...especially since my youngest will be an adult soon...I'm dreading the empty nest syndrome.
10. I went to clown school to join a clown ministry to bring happiness to those in need!

I hope you all will play this little game and get to know each other better. I believe support is a HUGE contributor to success!!!!
