Sherrie had to say...

A little about me: I’m a single working mom. I do lots of volunteer work around foster care and adoption, and child abuse prevention. I’ve been foster mom for 5 years and have had the blessing of 17 kiddos (not all at the same time (YAKS). I have a son, whom I officially adopted last year! I’m a huge texas longhorn fan, proud mama, decent cook, avid reader, crazy driver and lousy housekeeper.
