Married to John carpenter since 1993! Mom to 4 GREAT KIDS. Mother-in-law to a beautiful, smart, funny young woman- who hasn't strangled my eldest child--- yet. They've added my spunky, smart, fun, ADORABLE Grandson to the family tree. Another Grandson due in a few months! I've been blessed in too many ways to list them all! Graduated from Barbe HS in 1983. Attended McNeese State University, and went on to LSU- School of Veterinary Medicine- NOT A VET, but glad of it. I've been able to be available to my husband and my children any time of the day or night, ever since 1993. It was harder before that, being a single, working Mom and attending MSU to better GPA to reapply to Vet School. Thank goodness I didn't get in that time! I was born and reared in Lake Charles, LA. I attended Barbe Elementary school, the LaGrange Middle school, before going on the Barbe High School.
