Meet My Family! Click on our names to see our pictures! Updated June 21, 2004!
My real name is Diane. I am 47 years young and have three wonderful children. I loved my children so much, I decided to teach them school at home. No, I wasn't crazy. I believe in a better education than the public schools here can offer. It was not an easy job. There were mounds of papers to correct and tons of records to keep, on top of trying to help them learn. It was very rewarding though, and worth every moment. I have seen my children grow into self-respecting and loving young adults. I may not have been the perfect teacher but with God's help, they will grow up to serve the Lord and lead happy, Christian lives. All three of my children graduated from homeschooling. My son attended college for the first year, and the second year he joined the Air Force. He has a beautiful little girl and two adorable little boys. My oldest daughter joined the Air Force as a Dental Assistant and is now a stay at home mom with three beautiful little girls. My youngest daughter has graduated from Pensacola Christian College in May of 2007 and is currently working there in the art department. As you can see, all three children are well adjusted, and all have been accepted into careers and life with no problems at all. Many people believe myths that homeschooling inhibits socialability, and they cannot be accepted into the military, or college and many things. In no way have my children encountered any problems in any area.
My hobbies are reading, sewing, crafts, cooking and meeting new people. Recently I have purchased the Radio Shack franchise which I managed for 5 years proir to purchasing! hehe It all started back in May, 1999 when I applied at Radio Shack for a part time book keeper, also where my son worked! I love being my own boss and I set my own hours, so basically I work when I want to! Now isn't that the kind of job to have??
By the way, in case you didn't know, I am the short one in the picture!!!

This is my husband
Mark. He has retired from the Navy after 22 years of service. He has never been stationed on a ship! His hobbies are target shooting, gun collecting, fixing broken things and watching TV. He recently became unemployed because the company went out of business where he worked so he now works for me as our Satellite installer as well as Computer repair man! I am blessed to have my husband and best friend work by my side. February 16, 2007, we have been married for 28 very wonderful years! No man could make a better husband and father! As the years go by, I love and appreciate him more and more. I love you Mark, with all my heart!

This is my son
Bryan. He is 27 years old. His hobby is anything to do with Star Wars. He collects all kinds of Star Wars memoribilia. He has very many valuable, old Star Wars collectable items. Bryan graduated in June of 1999. We had his graduation ceremony at our church. It was wonderful! We had the girls walk the flags down the aisle, then Bryan walked down the aisle in his cap and gown. We had the regular church service centered around the graduate. At the end of the service, Mark and I stood on the podium. Mark presented him his diploma which he hadn't seen yet, and he walked over to me and I moved his tassle, and gave him a big hug and kiss in front of everyone! hehe Afterward, we had a reception in the fellowship hall!
Bryan is now married and has been in the Air Force for 3 years. He and his wife have a beautiful daughter named Mallory Elizabeth 5, and two adorable sons, Matthew 3 and Alexzander 1. You can check out Mallory's pictures here: Grandkids They also have a son on the way due in October, 2004

This is my daughter Sarah. She is 23 years old. She has developed a very good sense of art! Boy I wish I her talent! She has finished her four years at Pensacola Christian College, where she is studied Graphic Design and Advertising. I am so proud of her and what she has accomplished because she has Dyslexia which has made learning so much more difficult for her than most. She really worked and studied hard to keep good grades. She now is currently working at the college in the art department.
