This is new for me. I am not sure if I can keep up with this but everyone tells me I do alot. I don't see it so maybe if i see it in writing it might help. I guess I should start my telling you a little about myself. I am Marie, I am married to David, this year will be 19 years...I still can't believe we have been together that long...it really doesn't seem possible.

We have 4 children, 2 from his first marriage and our two girls. My girls also keep me busy but more on that later.

I went back to college 4 years ago to become a teacher and now I teach second grade and love it. Those kids keep me on my toes but they are wonderful and I can see them growing in so many ways.

We also have two dogs, a 4 year old yellow Labrador Retriever named Daisy and a 9 year old German Shepard, rescue, named Gretchen. They complete our family. We also have one outside kitty, she adopted us when we lived in our old house. Her name is Li'l Bit....she is a little gray kitty who is about 9 years old I think.

I also have lots of hobbies, camping with my family, reading, sewing, quilting, playing games on the computer and my daughter started me on scrap booking a few years ago.

I am sure you will hear more about these hobbies on this blog and also my crazy real life. Now I have to go figure out the rest of this blog stuff.
