Let's see........I've been married to my high school sweetheart for nearly 37 years. We have 3 kids (1 son, 2 daughters) who have blessed us with 9 adorable grandkids. (3 granddaughters and 6 grandsons) We love traveling and go as often as we can. My favorite place includes the beach, preferably in the Caribbean. We also enjoy biking and walking. I drive a Toyota Rav 4. We have one kitty named Stinky for that exact reason. No, I didn't name him. I try to do something scrappy everyday and that makes my life feel 'balanced'.

[Shutterbug]

Married almost 14 years. 1 Fur Baby, Love to cook and bake.  I love writing letters. Growing up I had pen pals from all over the word.  Was involved in CAMP UTADA a camp for diabetic children many hears and a camper, counselor and staff.  OK, well I use to do a lot of that. I Live in Utah,   My car is known as a Cadillac ( My walker) and the other car is the para transit bus.   

[MacSarah]

I am Sarah, wife to Brian, Step mom to Paige (21), mom to Marlayna (17), Liberty (10), and expecting our last baby in July.  We live in Peculiar Missouri.  It really is an odd place to call home, but I love the country life!  I drive a mini van.  I have a dog, Dandy, she is a mostly lab mutt.  Paige thinks she is an adult (she is wrong, but we are waiting until she figures that out on her own).  Layna graduates High School in 2 weeks (there is a period of time where we doubted that would happen), Libby is as busy as can be with a gifted program at school and volleyball.  I work in a retirement community...  the bonus is no matter how much I age, I am still a spring chicken at work!

[CNMommy]

Alrighty it is only fair. Married, 2 kids (DD and DS). No fur or feather babies. I have been scrapping on/off since 1998/99 (senior year in high school) but really got into after DD was born in 07. I have more albums that space to store and that is just fine with me. Both kids LOVE looking at them and I get sanity/creative satisfaction from scrapping our memories. I grew up military (and was military for while) so there was not much room in the budget or weight limits for my mom to do this for us as kids. I am so happy to be able to do it for them.

ETA: oops forgot a few things: car is the Toyota Rav4, before that was my first brand new paid all for it myself after coming home Camry and I loved that car (can you love a car?) but she had a good life and needed to retire . We are more up north than either of us have ever been before in MD (right outside Baltimore) so things are a little uneasy right now.

[kate W.]

Okay, I'm 40 and just got married for the first and LAST time in 2013. DH and I have been married for a year and a half but have been together since June 2006. He has 3 children (a son and two daughters) and I have one daughter. His oldest daughter has a 6yr old daughter, so I'm a grandma too. For now we live in Canton, Ohio but we met when we both lived in Martin, TN. My DH gets transferred for work a lot and we've been in Ohio for 3yrs. I am originally from Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University and Law school so I'm a HUGE Buckeye! Go Bucks! I am a lawyer and was a prosecutor back in TN which was my dream job. Unfortunately, I am not licensed to practice law in Ohio so I have been unemployed since my DH got transferred here.  I love to read mystery novels and historical fiction. My DH and I LOVE to travel. I've been to France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Jamaica, Mexico, Canada  and the Dominican Republic and almost every state in the US. Our last trip was 3wks ago when we went to New York City for Spring Break. I drive a Sebring red convertible and my hubby has 3 vehicles plus a Harley. We love riding the Harley on the few good weekends we get in northeast Ohio.

Sounds pretty good.  My grandma had an albino chihuahua with pink eyes names what else but Pinky.  She adored that dog and it felt the same about her but Pinky didn't like anyone else but grandma.  lol  She would just as soon bite you and look at you.   Makes me want to find a picture of that dog with my grandma and scrap it now.

My best friend for nearly 60 years now is from Missouri.  They loved it but back in the 1940's, times were hard so they came West to find work and a better life.  Her dad lived to be 90 and missed Missouri every day of his life.

well first thanks for your military service and thanks to whichever parent served as well.  I have quite a bit of family in Maryland as well but I hear from another aunt that they are ok.  You guys stay safe

Been married for 8 years to Jon; no kids.  Lots of furbabies - 4 dogs (Cocoa Puff, Noel, Snicket & Foxie) and 1 Cat (Mo).  I've been an accountant for 14 years (there are times I so want to change professions).  I do like to knit and read.  Sometimes I will do cross stitching (but this is only ever few months).  My dh & I do put jigsaw puzzles together.  I am the treasurer for our church & a Christian bike group I'm in.  I live in Norman, OK (get lots of wild weather).  No, I don't care for the OU Sooners football team.  I do, however, like the OU basketball teams (men's & women's).  Car - 40th Anniversary Mach-1 Ford Mustang.  I will be 40 soon (UGH! - lol).

My new SIL was 50 last year when he and DD married. He also said his first and last.  lol  And since he is from Ohio, he too is a big Buckeye Fan.  lol But he is not a lawyer.  Your life sounds fun and interesting.

We have some long time friends who live about that far from Indy as well in a small town called Atlanta.  We have known them since DH was in the navy back in the mid 1960's.  Amazing coincidence.  lol

Me= VERY blessed wife to my DH of 22 years......SAHM to my 4 amazing children.......Dillon (25) KimiAnn (21) Aimee (18) and Calliope (11)  I will be 47yrs old this August and I cant believe I am closer to 50 than I am 40..HA   Currently living in Oregon, but in 49 (!!!!) days will be on my/our way to finally being a whole family again in Texas...this has been the craziest year of my life!  My life is everything and more than I ever dreamed about as a little girl and everyday I count my blessings!  We have a joke in this family...since I finally relinquished my title as "MiniVan Mom" and got rid of the ability to carry 8 ppl at a time....that I am someday going to run away and leave them all for the beaches of San Tropez.........NEVER...my family is my WORLD!   (I now drive a new 4x4 Jeep Grand Cherokee--that I affectionately call *Bob*---since I paid cash for it with inheritance money from my dad..LOL)
Besides scrapbooking I enjoy reading, travel, hiking and time with family & friends. 
currently our pets consist of 2 dogs, 2 cats and a guinea pig---we had a rabbit but he went to the great carrot patch in the sky recently 
I am looking forward to our family dynamics changing...just as the whole family will be back together again...I have one getting married, and one off to college...so it will just be DH, the youngest and myself at home.......GASP   last time there was only 3 ppl living in our house I still control the tv remote..........I am going to have POWER again..hehe
I am quirky, offbeat and LOVE nachos...........................ahhhhhh life is good!
