~Most Of You Know But It's A Challenge~

This is a challenge from @celticeagle about introducing yourself to new and older members here. Most of y'all know me but not everyone does. So, I'm a wife and a mom to 5 children. I Home School my kids which we all love. My family loves God and we try to show others love whenever we can. I live in FL right now but I was born and raised in NY, then lived in NC for 10 years before moving to FL. My husband and I met in an online chat room, 13 years ago. Sometimes love online works, for us it did! We have been through it ALL, including 2 miscarriages, being homeless 3 times, moving so so many times, going through the typical relationship struggles and life struggles. I LOVE singing, people say I have a good voice however I'm extremely nervous on stage. I also love to write-which I do best during dark times. And I enjoy reading as well-mostly thriller/mysteries. I don't drive because I freeze up behind the wheel whenever I get scared-not safe for anyone. I love storms and Fall the best, cooler weather makes me happy! That's it for now... Your turn!

I didn't know you could sing or had miscarriages. So sorry about the latter! My mother was afraid to drive, but got her license when I gave her grand babies. lol

I know a lot of people who don't drive! It's made me feel less weird about it, realizing that it's ok to decide not to drive.

You've moved 40 times? Is that the truth or a typo? I can't imagine this. I've moved ten times in my life and find that much.

@MALUSE That is the actual number, yes. Sad, but true. Some of those times was moving back in with my parents 4 times after being married.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I learned some new things about it and I learned why you are such a strong woman. You have been through so much but your faith gets you through the many struggles and obstacles. I may post one of these in a bit.

I knew a lot about you, but not how you met or that you can sing. I still remember the post about Li'l Julian and when he was born, that made my heart melt, your children at so adorably cute, each and every one of them!

Thanks for sharing. Some of this I already knew, some I didn't. I am sorry you experienced miscarriages and being homeless so many times. Sometimes going through hell with another person really brings you closer together.

I knew everything except that you sing. I know many people who do not drive, for me I am comfortable driving and always wanted to be a race car driver :)

I also have driving anxiety, so I don't drive either. Fortunately, I live in an area with a decent public transit system.

I had a miscarriage and a still born, so I understand the pain and struggle that goes with those. You are such a strong lady!

@thislittlepennyearns I'm sorry that you have been through that. =( Having a still born is worse I think because you get to see your baby but never raise them. You are strong as well.
