10 Years

August, 1, made 10 years that I moved to Columbia,
I was a wide eyed, gullible girl, and after a few bumps
along the way I have grown up, and learned a little
more about how this world works, don't know it all....still learning!!!
I have tried to stay positive through it all, and have gained many new
friendships in Columbia that I am very proud of. It
is a blessing to have weeded my garden, and now
have only beautiful, honest, and positive people in my life!

Thanks to my new extended family, and my wonderful friends,
I can say it has been a great new life, and I am
proud to call Columbia my home, where Pat and I will
enjoy raising our family.
