Category: About Me

I had a number of New Years Resolutions on my list this year.  

1) Maintaining my weight (so far so good)

2) Drinking more water (doing really well, using the Britta Water app on my iTouch, I’m keeping track and am getting a B grade with my water intake!)

3) Purging unused, unwanted and unnecessary stuff in my home.

I’m one of those people who remembers strange, useless pieces of information (ahem, the politically correct term is ‘Trivia’ I believe), but can’t remember where I put my car keys.

I am an immigrant.  A legal one that is.  So how many are thinking now..”Wow her English is very good!”?  That’s because people immigrate from many countries, including Canada. 

My story starts over eleven years ago.  My husband was looking for a new job, and through circumstances that only God could have arranged, found himself interviewing for a position here in the United States.  He was offered the job, but…there was a catch.
