Hi, I am Connie,I am a 47 yrs old wife and mother. I have been married for 18 years and have a wonderful daughter( if we survive the teen years!) I have an identical twin( and yes her name is Bonnie!!) Mom had to come up with names quickly, they were expecting a baby boy!! Surprise!!!!. I think that is where I have received my love of surprises. The whole swapping thing was new to me, but I have quickly become addicted too it. I am also a licensed Optician for 20 years, A Girl Scout leader for 11 years, and I live and breathe TENNIS. But now that I have found this site, I do believe the craft side of me is coming back out. 04/21/10 We have a new addition to the famly!! A 6 week old schnoodle puppy. Her name is Evie.I lost my beloved Sandy on 02/27/10. But the house was empty without a fur baby running around, so in comes Evie.She is full speed, I was use to a 12 year old, and now this. I have my hands full, but I'm loving every minute.
