WOW...25 years already....

I currently live on the sunny gulf coast of Florida...just north of Clearwater. Although, I have lived all over the world....Germany was my favorite by far.

I am married to a wonderful man (Melvin) for nearly 25 years (Jan) who retired last year as a First Sergeant from the U.S. Army.

We have three beautiful children...Alicia (23), Jennifer (21) and Mel (19). Alicia and her husband are both firefighters and are expecting their first child in Jan...IT's a BOY!!!! Jennifer is finishing up college next semester and hasn't yet decided what she will be when she grows up and Mel will be leaving for the NAVY very soon.

I am a Paralegal & have worked in the legal field for almost 18 years. Most of my family lives here in Florida now which makes for a fun hurricane party when we have to have them....which by the way seems like every other weekend.

We have a beautiful historical home which I am enjoying restoring as Mel is in the Middle East (he's in Iraq now and has been since last Dec...and AFGH the year before, with the military) most of the time as a govt contractor. He will be home in Jan for the birth of our first grandbaby....but then off to AFGH (again) for all of 2009.

I can't wait to see everyone and the bios are interesting.

Take care & safe travels everyone.
