I have 5 children, Valerie,25 (from my first marriage), who is married and now has 2 sons, Brandon and Shane; Billie Jeanne,who is 23, and the mother of Jasmine; Amy, 22, who is the mother of MiKayla and Isaiah; Becky, who is 18 and the mother of Tahlor; and Nathan, who is 17.

It's a wonderful feeling being a grandparent, a feeling that you just can't explain, it's something you have to experience for yourself. I love it!

Currently, I am unemployed, watching my grand-children MiKayla, Tahlor, and Isaiah while their moms go to work and school full time, and in my spare time I'm making crafts to sell and give as gifts. I am looking to get back into the Human Service Field. I find great satisfaction in knowing I have led someone on the road to a better life.

Bill is the outdoors type, he'd rather be outside doing anything than to be inside. He likes to keep busy doing yard work, etc., or fixing my car. His hobbies include hunting (deer, turkey, pheasant, etc.), tending our vegetable garden, and best of all, fixing things that break in here! He is, by trade, an auto tech, specializing in the electrical and computerized side of mechanics. He also drives a wrecker part time. There isn't much he can't fix, and if he can't figure it out, he knows someone who can. He is very handy to have around.

I have met so many wonderful people, most of whom I have not met in person (yet) and those I have met. I have learned so much from them. Each one holds a special place in my heart and I consider them an extended part of our family. Below you will see there are 3 poems, which I wrote, and they are dedicated to the very special people in my life, who have given me more than words can ever say. They have shown me what the power of love can really do. They have given me so much love, support and understanding. I will forever be indebted to them for everything they have done for me!

I love to make new friends and believe in treating everyone as we want to be treated, with respect and consideration. I believe that in order to have a friend, you have to be a friend. I accept people for who they are, not for what we want them to be. If you'd like to e-mail us, Bill's screen name is WJB1255@aol.com and mine is CEB11854@aol.com. We'd love to hear from you!
