I am a long time BYC'er but new to Sufficient Self. I don't know why I just found this site. I LOVE IT, I'm already addicted! So I thought I would share a few things about me..
Birthdate 9-83 that makes me 25 at the current moment. I live in a small community on the outskirts of Panama City, FL. My mother and I moved to this community when I was 15 years old and as an adult I seem to keep finding my way back here. I have a 3 yr old son that is the light of my life from a previous brief relationship. I am currently engaged to a wonderful man that I have been with for the past few years. We are planning an October Wedding that is taking up alot of my time planning and sorting out. My education and Career surrounded Business Administration, executive and blue collar but I was laid off over a year ago. I have been a stay at home mom since then. I try to make the most of the horrible the state the economy is in and I try to be as self sufficient as I can. I grew up in a very country self sufficient home. I am still learning old tip from my mother. I have A WHOLE LOTTA chickens, Rouen and Blue swedish ducks, New zealand and Californian meat rabbits, 2 Registered Nigerian dwarf nanny goats and 3 Very spoiled rescued dogs.
