Chesterton, 53

<p>As of 3-31-13......I am now a working mom to a lively 15 year old.  Wow, I have not updated this in 5 years.   We have moved fron Valparaiso, to Chesterton, to South Haven and are  in Portage,IN.  This is my husbands home town. I am working, though not happpily at the McDonalds in Burns Harbor.  We still have Rocky the Brittany Spaniel.  We have 3 cats.  Nilla Kiki, who came up to the door of the restaraunt I worked at when we lived in South Haven.  We moved to Portage in 2011.  Tony, my hubby, moved to our new trailer which needed some work.  Our daughter Allegra stayed with Grandma and I, and Kiki stayed with a friend.  In June of 2011 we all moved into where we live now.  In January of 2012 a Facebook friend who lived in Kentucky, said she had White Kittens.  I joked if she would deliver I would take a female.  Well on 1-15-12 she  brought us Gracie Lynn.  Then on July 3rd a kitten showed up at our house who is now Samson Anthony Hughes.  My husband, the cat hater decided to keep him as his own.  I would rather own my own restaurant than work at Micky D's, but there are bills to pay.  Ally, as we call her wants to be a Pharmacist, and she is an honor roll student know and I can't let her down.</p>
