My Home...  What makes my heart sing!

I have 2 boys, James and Matthew. They are my pride and joy! James is my creative angel who keeps me calm, organized and very loved. James enjoys all sports, computers, play station, the guitar, and being the class clown! Matthew is the son who keeps me on my toes. He is a cross-country runner, plays the Sax, and a bowler. We have a cat named Brat who loves to cuddle and will steal your seat when you get up, and a dog named Brandy who will smother you with kisses and always lets you know she is happy to see you.

My other half is David, whom I will love forever and he keeps me laughing. David loves scuba-diving, movies, computers, science fiction, is an avid cyclist and is the only person I know who truely LOVES his job and the only guy I know who doesn't watch any sports! David is a good cook, but OH what a mess! He is a native Michigander/Floridian. And most importantly has stuck with me through some rough times. David sings and is laughing all the time! He thinks he is funny, I don't see it but everyone loves him! I guess I'll keep him a bit longer!
Me, I am a native of Arizona, and now a Nevadan. Always a desert rat! I'm... who knows! Guess it depends on who you ask. You decide. Enjoy!
