I have been happily remarried for 2 years. While Missouri is my home state and permanent residence, I work remotely to travel with my husband to job sites he's working at in TN and NC for several months at a time. We love to hike to waterfalls and be outside during our time off work. I have 4 grand children that are wonderful and bring me so much happiness!
