Hi there! My name is Beth, and first of all, I am a Christian, and a follower of Jesus Christ. God has always been so, so good to me!!! I have a two year old grandson, and I ADORE him! I get to babysit him with my former husband usually on Thursdays. His name is Wren and he is AWESOME! He brings me such joy!!! His mom, is my precious daughter, Sammie, who is forty. Nick is her sweet husband, and boy, they love that little fella! They are all so happy, and I get a kick out of watching them parent Wren. I also have a wonderful son, Joey, who is 37. He is engaged to a gal named Bree. I haven’t heard of a wedding day, yet. I grew up in Jackson, MS. My dad and mom had a weekly newspaper, and all five of us children, worked at it for years. Working for my parents gave me my strong work ethic. I have worked at both General and Pediatric dental offices, at law firms, and in healthcare for the past few years, taking care of the elderly.
