Today I am linking up with other bloggers and today we are starting with re-introductions. So, here is my re-introduction to you.
My name is Marilyn. I grew up in the South and have lived in 3 states and 2 continents.
I am the third child of my siblings and grew up in a loving home. I am so thankful for them. As you know from this blog, I also love being a great aunt!
As a teenager, I always loved music, concerts, and broadway. I wanted to be on broadway, but didn't have much talent, ha! My first concert was Elvis and I have seen my favorite, Huey Lewis, more than any other artist. I do still enjoy concerts and broadway plays.

I have met Huey Lewis twice! I still love eighties music, being a teenager in that decade.
I studied aviation in college and worked for Delta Air Lines then began working as corporate travel agent. I have always loved to research trips, even as a young teen. I love to travel and New York City is one of my favorites and my most visited city. I also love cruises, although it has been a few years since I have been on one.

This year marks my 20 year wedding anniversary. I met my husband after college and we knew each other for 3 1\2 years but were only engaged for 3 weeks. We got married at Glacier National Park in Montana, but then did renew our vows on our ten year anniversary at the Graceland chapel!

We have 2 daughters, ages 16, almost 17 & a 13 year old. I have homeschooled the girls since kindergarten, except for a year and a half they went to traditional school in another country. We spent 3 years living in Bogota, Colombia as missionaries. It was a great experience, but hard many times too. We do miss it and have fondness towards that time in our lives. We have been back in the USA a little over a year now, so it has been a year of transitions for us. I have lots of posts from Bogota on this blog if you would to read some of those.
I enjoy cooking, watching Hallmark movies, spending times with family and friends, listening to music, organizing things, and making a yearly scrapbook, which now is digital.
That is a glimpse into my life and hobbies....so nice to meet you!

In your pictures with your girls, I can't tell who are the daughters and who is the mom! You look the same age as them! Nice to meet you!
