I value religion, family, health, and happiness. I enjoy serving the church, donating blood, art, photography, travel, cooking, and friends. I've over come living with an abusive/child labor father till age 10, near death car wreck couldn't walk for a year, and raised son alone for 7 years. Manage to keep good credit, paid off 1st car, and lose 50lbs as single mom. Now happily married, bought house, obtained associates degree, hired at Sheriff's Office, and rescued dying beagle. I learned you can’t love others, until you love yourself first.
