THREE goals I have:

to raise my children to be strong, happy, and repsectful individuals to themselves and to others

to scrapbook memories for my children

to live life to the fullest

TWO decisions I've never regretted
marrying Jeremie Jones (I'm not saying I haven't had my "what have I done" moments, but I could not have found a man more perfectly suited to me! )
having children-there is nothing I have wanted more than to be a mother and it is the MOST fun I have ever had.
