I'm Dena... I live in OKC, OK - origionally from Houston, TX but an "Okie" since childhood.
I am a Christian and enjoy fellowship with our church family.
I am a recently divorced mother of five skinkids, ages 10, 12, 18, 19 and 22 and "Mimi" to one precious little baby boy who turned a year old on Christmas day.... joyfully, we are expecting a new granchild as well!!
I am an RN staff nurse of 14 years - on-floor cardio vascular recovery unit with a state of the art cardio care hospital.
Before deciding to persue my nursing career, I spent 8 years in the military as an Army MPO. (military police officer)
Currently, I am a furloving homebody since an auto accident back in March of '07 that has left me unable to work.
I share my world with two little fur-angels at the moment... (though we are in the process of greatly expanding our Yorkie counterpart family!!) and my home with my room-mate's furfaces as well.
My passion is photography, though I haven't had much time to be "out and about" since the accident.... so I enjoy photographing my children and fur-children here at home.
I deeply enjoy music of all types and feel like there is always some song out there, some lyric, some melody that I can so easily adapt into my life in the "here and now" or to lovingly cause an old memory to surface.... but I suppose that is true for everyone... and precisely what music is intended to do! lol
I have enjoyed, for the most part, my time here on YT and have discovered several treasured friendships as well as a wealth of resources and information!

Nice to "meet" you all!!!

LOL, Dena we don't always agree on everything but I love that you are a Mimi! You're the first one I've met outside of my own family. My great grandmother was a Mimi until us great grand kids were born and started calling her Big Mimi.

You know she had a great sense of humor to put up with that! We call my grandmother Mimi and I cant wait to be a Mimi someday! Mimis are the best!

Hi,
My name is Suzan. I am 38. I live in Buckley (Traverse City area), MI. We moved here from Mississippi when I was 10. I have been married for 17 yrs to Todd. We have 2 girls Karina 13 and Ruth 11. We homeschool and have all along. We have always had big dogs but Ruth wanted a Yorkie and she worked hard in 4h and earned enough to buy her. Gracie is her name and she is now in 4h. She is 8 months old next week. She weighs 9.5#'s or more and stands around 11 in. tall. Ruth wants to breed her. We are considering a poodle to breed her with but not for at least another year. I never knew Yorkies had such personality. She has alot of the characteristics of our other dog Coca that passed away in 2006. She was a Siberian Husky, Old English Sheepdog. We love being together as a family. My dad (stepdad of 18 yrs.) passed away in July of 2007 so we made a mini apartment for my mom and now she lives with us. I love to travel, be with my girls, anything educationally and being with my friends. I hope to have more furbabies and horses in the near future.

TootiesMom · 01-19-2008, 07:31 PM

I think I have done this on another thread too, but here goes...

I am Donna, 43 years old - married to my high school sweetheart, will be 25 years next week! I manage an Insurance Agency in south Louisiana. Hubby is an elementary art teacher and professional artist.

I have two beautiful daughters, 21 and 16, oldest is Jr. in college, youngest Jr. in high school, we will have joint graduations next year... haha - I have recently inherited two "son-in'laws"(not really yet but it feels like it)

I have 4 wonderful furbabies: Hope(YT) almost 2, Tootie(YT) 2 1/2, Laci(yellow lab) 5, and the queen Tinker(chi mix) 6... I honestly dont know what I would do without my fur babies. With my girls growing up, my furbabies keep me going for sure.

I am a home body, once I get off from work, it is home to my pups. I am tortured by many who think I am crazy cuz they are so spoiled but thats my life. I love to spend time with them, and their walks are the special times for them! I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read, I can escape into a book for hours on end and my furbabies are perfect companions.

I mostly lurk on YT these days and dont take near enough pictures of all my babies....

Hi, I'm Monica and I live in Valencia (Spain). I'm 33.
I'm single and I work as a secondary teacher. After 5 years in different teaching posts far away from my home town, I'm back at last - which means I've been able to buy my own flat. Right now I'm living with my parents while I get the flat ready, but I hope Milo and I will be moving by the end of the school year or so. Milo is my furbaby, he's 7 months.
My hobbies are going to the cinema, reading and looking after my plants (I would say gardening, only I don't have a garden, just lots of potted plants).

simonandhallie · 01-21-2008, 10:27 AM

What a great thread

My name is Kimberly, I'm 32, no babies-never married-single (still)

I was born in North Carolina but moved to Alaska when I was 3, my dad was in the Air Force and ended up staying until 3 years ago when I moved here to upstate New York.

I have a Master's Degree in Professional Communication with an emphasis in Organizational Development and I teach at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for the School of Engineering. I teach college sophomores and seniors (when I'm not moderating YT-haha)

My family is all over. Dad in St. Louis, Mom in Ohio and exended family in Virginia/Tennessee. I'm currently job searching to get closer to them.

Simon and Hallie are my first pets and both rescues. They are really my whole life and I'm ok with it being that way

saphire · 01-21-2008, 11:22 AM

What fun to read about you all

I'm Sheilagh, just celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary last Friday

My husband Kevin is my best friend. We are both 51. We have one son, Tristan - 25 next month. He and his girlfirend live in a cottage on our property. We built the cottage for my parents so that I could look after my mom, they have both passed away, so now the "kids" are in there. He is at university doing BSc Marine Biology, his girlfriend works for a plastic surgeon.
We adore our Yorkies, CoCo & Coffee, and have four cats, a cockatiel, a tortoise and some fish. They and the garden keep me very busy, but I do sell pet grooming products part time. I love reading and entertaining.

I was an only child and have very little family, but quite a few wonderful friends that I consider "family". I had breast cancer 15 years ago and without my hubby and friends I would not have come through as well as I did.

We live in Edenvale, a large town just outside Johannesburg in South Africa. I enjoy traveling around our beautiful country. If any of you ever some to S.A
you would be very welcome to spend some time with us. I consider you all my YT family.

Sheilagh.

MeganS · 01-21-2008, 12:04 PM

Sheilagh - I've never been to S.A., but my friend's Mom is from there. They recently took a long trip there, and from the pictuers I can tell how beautiful your country is.
