    You don't mention your wife again after the beginning, but I'm hoping she is still in your life.

    Yes - still married. :love:
    Where's that dog???

    Oh, yeah! I should have put a picture of Rosie in there. She's still here - she was only about 2 at the time.

    What dam is that in your picture?

    Grand Coulee in Central Washington - I have family in the area.

    Today has shown me what an INCREDIBLE community MFP really is. I'm blessed to have signed up. Thank you to everyone.

    Absolutely amazing and inspiring. As a daughter of an alcoholic father (who has been sober 20 years now, but didn't stop until I was 10), you have given your child the best gift ever of a sober, present and healthy father. You should be very proud of yourself and the example you are setting for your family. Congratulations.
