Leslie from Leesburg Georgia - 8 more days until banding (4/10/08)

I have two beautiful daughters, ages 5 & 7, and have been happily married to a wonderful DH for nine years. I have a spoiled rotten cat, Lily - she is solid white with blue eyes. She loves tormenting the beta fish (named FISH - the girls were 2 & 4 - thus the imaginative name fish)
