Welcome, Meli!

I finally figured out how to customize my page. Yippie! Now I've just got to figure out the trick to keep from loosing what I change. Save doesn't always seem to work....

Time for the bio. I really hate this part. I'm a homeschooling stay at home mom of three. Two boys ages 10 (Duncan) and 5 (Dave--the cutie in the picture) and a 7 year old girl (Rebekah). All three have a Pervasive Development Disorder (aka Autistic Spectrum disorder) to some degree, so at times life can be rather interesting. They've taught me a lot, though, about God, His plans, and his gifts and talents. While some would like to change them, I'd rather help them to adapt to a world they don't truly understand in order for them to become what God created them to be.

I love to read. Obviously Ted is one of my favorite authors. I also dearly enjoy Eric Wilson and Robert Liparulo. My other hobby are marine aquariums. I currently have a 240 gallon aquarium complete with a Dori (Regal Tang), pair of Nemos (Clown fish, though mine are gold and maroon instead of orange and white), and will soon be adding a Gill (Morish Idol). My favorites are my Emperor Angel and Porcupine Puffer. The aquarium is my relaxation. I also enjoy hiking, but the DFW area doesn't offer much in scenery or hiking trails. So every couple of years I try to make a trip to Sedona, AZ and enjoy climbing their beautiful red rock formations.
