My History

Hi my name is Tina. I am 41 yrs young.
A stay at home mom, zoo keeper, and C.E.O.P.P. (Chief Executive Officer of Puppy Poop),
hey its true I even have a name plate that says so.

I grew up in the mountains of PA. I am one of those people that actualy had a outhouse as a bathroom. ack. Sometimes it was a curse the way I grew up (kids picking on me) but I like to think it made me a stronger person.

My pa always made sure I could stand on my own 2 feet. He taught me many things that I needed later on in life.

Biologically, I have 7 siblings but only have 3 that I consider family. My sister Candie (on moms side) and my brother Pat(on my dads side) and Barbra Ann (she passed away when she was 2-3 yrs old, I never got to meet her).
I never got to know Candie until I was in my middle teens. Never met Pat until around 1998. I found him searching on the Internet. cool huh?

I went to Job Corps when I was 16, met my first hubby "Steve" there. We had the perfect marriage for 10 yrs. He lived on one side of the state and I on the other side.
I then met my current hubby "Jim" and the last one as he is my soul mate. We will be married 8 years on March 31st 2007. He treats my son as his own to the point he has become "our" son.
I moved to Michigan to start a new life for my son and I, met Jim and got married and have had a wonderful life ever since. Yes there have been bumps in the road, BUT we have always managed to work them out.

June\July of 2006 my sister Candie and her husband Tim moved to Michigan also. I love having her here. Getting to know her and learning to love her more and more each day. She has been a blessing to me in more ways than she knows. Our mother did 2 good things in her life...She had us which made us sisters and donated her eyes when she passed away so another could see.
