I have been happily married to my best friend, Mike, for 31 years. I have 8 children (3 biological, 4 adopted & 1 adopting at the end of this year). I have loved Disney for as long as I can remember and that love is shared by my entire family. We live in Oregon, so Disneyland is our home away from home. This August, we will be taking our 5 youngest children to WDW for the first time. Our home is full of Disney touches from a Mickey kitchen, Minnie bathroom & my bedroom full of Cinderella, Mickey & Tinkerbell.
I have a set of twins that are global developmentally delayed & autistic. The sister to the twins we are adopting also has special needs of probable autism spectrum, processing disorder & PTSD.
When I need a break, I turn to singing which I find very relaxing. I also enjoy taking pictures.
