Ok, I guess I should start with a little info about me. My name is Paula, and I a SAHM to 3. Mariah is 12, Cody is 10, and Casey James is 5. I have been home with the kids since before Mariah was born. I have had a great time being home with them, but I do enjoy my time alone now that they are all in school LOL.

In my spare time I like to scrapbook, make web graphics and read. I also love to play Word Whomp on AOL and IM with my online friends.

I have been married to a wonderful man named Ira for almost 14 years now. I thank God every day for bringing him to me!

I was planning on going back to work this year, because Casey started kindergarten; but after a lot of thought and prayer, I decided against it. The main reason is that I did not think it was fair to him. I had always been available for the other 2, so how could I not for him? I didn't want to miss his first Kindergarten play, his Christmas parties, etc. 

 

I am also a member of a few e-mail loops. Mom's and Boy's has been my biggest support in the past year and a half. They are a great group of girls.

I do volunteer a lot at the kids school. I am the Apple Corp Coordinator. My main job is to organize parents when help is needed by the teachers. I also got my certificate to substitute teach. So I am doing that part time to earn some money.

I believe that friends are so important in everyday life. I find myself with just a few IRL friends that I count on daily. These are friends I count on through thick and thin! Thanks Gals!!!

The internet has opened such a wonderful avenue for making friends. Some of my closest friends are ones I met online. Right after getting the computer in 1996 I met a fellow adoptee named Kim. A year later I even flew to CA and stayed with her and her family for 8 days. It was great! You can read about our trip here.

We have attended a wonderful church called Calvary Chapel for 5 years now. Ira plays keyboards in one of the church's bands. We really enjoy it and the kids love the kids program. Mariah attends the youth group now and is a great place to grow in the word and make good friends. 

Jesus Loves You!!!!
