I am originally from Southern California.... have you always lived in Arizonia? How cool that your son reads that good too! My son has received superior honor role for 3 years now! He and only 1 other girl from his class are the only ones that his teach is reccommending for honors classes next year when he starts middle school/junior high. We are very proud of him! And his sister is just as smart, she just adds a ton more drama to the whole situation! :p I have no clue where she gets that from... (cough, cough!:p )
you need to post a picture of yourself on here, in your profile, you can see me, but I can't see you! And I really don't think you look like Taz! BTW... you can see a picture of my entire family in the photos section above.... it is out of date, but you can see what my hubby and I looked like in our 20's! Jessica is only 6 months in this picture and Ryan is only 4! Ryan will be 12 next month and Jessie will be 8 in June... time for a new picture!;)
 
I haven't lived here my whole life. Just the last 15yrs. It is home to me though. We moved a ton as a kid and I did spend 4 consistent years in Arizona as a teenager. Moved to Salt Lake my Jr, year and graduated with strangers. Arizona felt lik home, so I came here for school and met my DH here at a singles activity. I tried to download a few pictures and they where too big. I am unfortunately not a huge master genius of the computer. It is a miracle that I have my picture on my business cards from Merrill!
 
Good night Stephanie!!Well, my new found friend, it is time I go now, my hubby is down here with me and he has gone to bed, our office and our room are in the day light basement and it is one big room. But I know my hubby is not sleeping with the sound of my typeing, so I need to respect my man and let him get his sleep, he gets up at 4:30 am!
Hopefully I'll "see" you on here tomorrow!;) :D :balloon:
 
Lights out you silly girls! That is what my dad would say as we giggled late at night!
 
oh my gosh, Stephanie!!! I take that's YOU!! You are so pretty!!! Nice to "see" you! I feel like I have officially met you know!!! :love: ;) My picutre is old and it was in 2002, with Jean Jonas at my New Directors Breakfast!
But I still look a lot like it, I just have a little less curly hair (it was permed) and it's darker, more red (fake red!) I dye it because I am starting to get too grey!
Thanks for putting your picture up!:) :balloon:
