Lori Nathan
I was born in Decatur, Illinois in October of 1964.
As a child I was raised on farms and moved back to the city as I grew older.
I have 4 sisters and 1 brother.
My education is limited to a GED.
I married at 16 and I have two children, a son 13,actively involved in the Navy Sea Cadets, and a daughter 15 that plays flute in the high school band.
They are the most important part of my life.
I love to read, write, listen to music, mostly country, and working on my web pages.
I am currently working as a secretary for a petroleum coke transfer company.
As I learn more about web design and graphics I would like to find a job in that field.
I hope someday to find a person to share my life with, who will love me and encourage me in any endeavor I wish to take on.
