Hailey, Justin, Richard

I have been married to a wonderful husband and had three children. We now have three grandchildren and another is expected in May. I continued my education in Nursing. I have worked for 37 years.I obtained a Masters in Adult Psychiatric Nursing from the University of Maryalnd and am working at the Veterans Hospital in Washington, DC. I have worked in Washington, DC most of my career and feel my work has been very rewarding.
My husband having been in the Military has traveled and took me to some unusual places to meet his old friends and visits places he has lived.Traveling has been fun and enriching to learn about other cultures and customs and realize how lucky we are to live in this country.
My huband retired after 39 years and I am close to meeting retirement for myself. Raising children, working and being with family has taken the years bye so quickly I am suprised that it has been 40 years since, I was in high school.
