George and I have a great relationship, built on a foundation of trust. George appears to be quiet and conservative, but he really is hilariously funny. He has the greatest sense of humor that I've ever witnessed in a person. We both have very quirky personalities and try not to take life too seriously. Laughter really is the best medicine — we spend alot of time laughing! We share the same values and views in all of the important aspects of life, especially when it comes to parenting. We enjoy the outdoors, nature, recreation, travel, holding hands and lots of kissing! You only have so much time on this planet--you might as well enjoy it!

Our daughters have blended well with one another and it has been enjoyable watching them bond. I have always wanted a large family — the home is always buzzing and it makes the holidays full and warm. I guess the hardest part for me is that I have no experience being a step-mom and I have realized that you walk a fine line with trying to earn the trust and love of your step-children in both capacities of friend and parent.
