My children, "Ryan and Kalen"
|
My two, wonderful sons Ryan and Kalen. Ryan is my oldest son, he's 25. He graduated from UT with a computer engineering degree and is in his final semester of graduate school at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Ryan is an amazing inspiration to me. He is smart but more important than that....he can take all that life dishes out and continue to look in a forward direction every time. He's amazing and a great example to follow. Kalen is 22, and is in the Geology curriculum at UT. It's not easy to get into UT because it's such a popular school but he did it. Kalen loves to do physically challenging things like surf....climb rocks.....ride bikes....etc. He has always been physically active and is always up for challenging himself to do more. Since he's been very little he takes a challenge well and never seems to give up. Both my boys are good boys.....OK, men.....(but always my boys) and I love them so very much. Go RYAN....GO KALEN....you're awesome and everything I've ever hoped to have in sons. Love ya!! |

Tia and Dan Otto
|
Tia and Dan are more "family" than friends. They are both in law enforcement. They raise top quality German Shepherds....stop in and visit their site www.ottogsd.com. We enjoy going horse camping together. They live right across the street from me and I consider it one of my biggest blessings. Thank you Tia and Dan for your friendship.....it is soooo appreciated.

Mary Ellen and her late, great, stallion and friend Bum's Warrior
(pictured here at 27 years!).

Mary Ellen has been my mentor and friend for many years. She is an outstanding business woman that I look up to and admire. She has so much courage and strength!!! She owns and operates Walkers West where you can buy a horse, sell a horse, have your mares bred to her many stallions or get your horse trained to walk the walk! Visit her website at www.walkerswest.com. Thank you Mary Ellen for being such a wonderful friend and for having the patience to help me learn about this breed that I love so very much. |

Chris my "Friend" first and my "Boss" second
|
Chris has not only been my boss at work for the last 10 years but has also become a wonderful friend. It is not during the sunshine that you recognize an awesome friends face....but rather it is times of darkness....times of struggle and strife. It is during those times in my life that Chris has really been there for me....she was right there to hold the "flashlight" in the darkness so I could see. What would I have ever done without you Chris? It will always be so appreciated and never forgotten. Thank you doesn't really do it.....I love you sums it up. |
