Hello Strangers...

[JLC_in_Tucson]

Hey all!

I suppose most of you really are "strangers" but a few folks around here might remember me. I hope so, because I remember y'all very well!!

For those who don't know me, I used to be here a lot...was a moderator and one of the original Admin Council. But in the interest of marital harmony, I thought giving up (at least temporarily) on my interest in snakes was the right thing to do, and so I bowed out of my beloved forums.

Well, the marriage is still harmonious! And after some growing and talking on both our parts, I believe I can start dipping my toes back into the water. :-)

A quick update for those who remember me: We moved to Tucson, AZ this past summer...hubby still very busy in the Air Force and will likely deploy sometime this year. Kids are growing like weeds and all doing wonderfully. I'm doing fantastic and have taken up endurance bike riding as my sport of choice. I did a 67 mile ride this past November and will do 70 miles this spring...and will be training for 100+ mile ride in November of '06! And the most important bit of news on your minds, I'm sure....hehe....we still have Caesar (Cape Gopher snake) and Shaggy (Bearded Dragon). Both are thriving. And it's looking like maybe in a few months, I will be getting my own ball python!

Ok....that's enough for now, I guess. I'll be browsing the forums and trying not to stick my nose into too many things since I've been away for so long. Got lots to relearn!

Looking forward to chatting with all of you again!!

Love,
Judy

Good to see ya back Judy! I am glad you seemed to have gotten things worked out. Wow, you moved to Tucson...I soo miss Az!

Don't believe we've met before but welcome back Judy! I'm impressed with that endurance riding...wow! Glad to hear you might be back around here more often and that things at home are going well. Like I always say, whoever said marriage was easy has either #1...never actually been married...or #2...is heavily medicated! LOL

Hey Judy, glad to have you back!
I'm, happy to hear you are doing so well. Glad the family is thriving, and great news on the future bp in your life.
And wow endurance biking that's great! what (I assume a street bike) do you ride.
Me and the hubby are still into our mountain bikes, but I don't think I could truck it like it sounds you have been! Great job, and glad to have you back.
