Introduction Jim, my husband, is the love of my life, my best friend, and my soul mate. We started dating in early 1997, and were married in 1999. We have 6 kids -- 3 of my own: Ricky (1981), Julie (1984) and Jessie (1987); and 3 of Jim's sons: Matt (1982), Mark (1984) and Mike (1988). We also have a beautiful little granddaughter, Taylor, born Nov 3, 2006 to our Mark and finacee Crystal. I am a French immersion kindergarten teacher, and I absolutely love my job and my students. I turned 50 on April 18, 2007. I graduated with a M.Ed. in August 2005. This was my first step towards a new career after retirement in 2010, but melanoma was gearing up to change my life forever in a way I could never have imagined.
Interests My #1 favourite is going to my cabin (cottage).Playing piano and guitar, sewing, cake decorating, crafts, learning.
Favorite Movies Shawshank Redemption, Ghost
Favorite Music Easy listening, especially music from the 70s.
Favorite Books I don't read much -- maybe it's too closely associated with work. But since my diagnosis, I have read a couple of books on positive thinking and spirituality, plus a huge amount of melanoma research.
