Update 01/17/2022 I want to apologize for anyone that is still waiting for a rating for you mail. My husband was in a horrible car accident Dec 15. We have finally made it home from the hospital. He will eventually be okay and for that we are eternally thankful. My kids were able to stay at home (thanks, Mom) but I am now searching for all of the mail that I received while we were gone. I will be reading and rating as soon as possible. For my pen pals...My mom was very helpful in cleaning up my paper stacks, but I am now facing going through all kinds of boxes to find the mail that I was finishing up. If you have not received a reply from me, PLEASE send me a nudge with your address. There are three that I am specifically thinking of. I had your letter written and was just ready to add some tuck ins. I am looking for your packets, but I'm also happy to start over.

Thank you, everyone, for your patience during this time. I am a mom of 4 teenage boys. I am currently back in school (FINISHED!) and studying American Sign Language. I love it! I love learning about Deaf culture and have amazing Deaf friends.

In my spare time (which is very little) I love to read. My favorite books/currently reading: The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon

The Hell Diver series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

The "After" series by John Matherson

The Auschwitz Escape by Joel C. Rosenbug

Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward

I am a history buff. I also love: paper crafts

crochet

sewing

scrapbooking

decorating my bullet journal

stamping

My favorite day would be cold and rainy, curled up on the couch with a great book and a cup of hot tea.

Loves and Likes: I love woodland creatures and nature. I don't explore much because:

*ticks

*bugs

*spiders

*more bugs

*snakes - finding a theme? I am not a fan of creepy crawlies.

My favorite colors are pink, green, brown, but I love most everything. Purple is not my favorite. In addition to woodland stuff, I love flowers, kwaii Disney Classical Children's Books Tea

I am a Christian and would not like to receive anything contrary to my faith. In return, I will review your profile and unless stated that you are also Christian, will not include anything that would push my beliefs on you.

I would love to find pen pals from just about anywhere. I think that swapping would be so very much fun! My goal in this is to add a smile to someone's day.

10/14/19 As I have just gotten started, I find myself a bit nervous about if people have not received their package. I will NEVER flake. If an emergency arises, I will contact all of my partners in advance to explain. That leads me to - if you have not received your package, please let me know. I WILL resend...it is not a problem. I have had things lost in the mail that were sent to me that I know were sent. I am not one to wait until the very last day (unless life gets away from me) so if you have not received it...there was a problem. Also, I usually mail from my office. If I mark something mailed later in the day, it is in our outbox, but may not be post marked until the following day.
