A little bit about me and my dear family

I am Michelle and I am 37 years old. I was born in Orange County California but moved to Hyrum, Utah when I was 1. I spent most of my life here and HATED IT. I vowed to move when I had my first chance. Well, my mom and dad divorced when I was 9. They both remarried a year or two later. My dad moved to Wendover Nevada and my mom and new step-dad stayed in my childhood house in Utah. I moved with my dad when I was almost 12. It was very eye opening for me. Long story short, I decided that Hyrum, Utah was not so bad after all. I moved back with my mom when I was 16 and now love living in Utah. I call Cache Valley (the area I live in) my little piece of Heaven! We are surrounded by moutains and it is so beautiful here. The seasons are perfect! Never too extreme but we get a little bit of every season. I couldn't even tell you which season is my favorite because everyone of them is great! I guess I would say that February is my least favorite month because by then the snow is dirty and I am ready for flowers to start coming up.

I have 3 daughters.
Alea: She is 9 and we took legal guardianship of her when she was 2 1/2. We adopted her when she was 4. She has had a hard life and was recently diagnosed as Bi-polar. She is a challenge but has her good days and bad days. I have learned to just be very thankful for the good days

Teisia: She is 15. She is a very social girl and people tend to be drawn to her. She is athletic and has played soccer her whole life and is very good at it. I think sports has given her that needed confidence. Sometimes I wonder if she has too much confidence. I always say that she thinks she is "all that and a bag of potato chips". I think she seriosuly thinks she is a Princess and even refers to herself as "princess Teisia". But she really is a joy to be around (for the most part). She can be a little hot head when she wants to though. GRRR. Strong headed little snot Oh, she also plays the drums. Lucky me, huh?

Chanel: She is 17. She is my rock in the family. She is a quiet shy girl but has a huge heart and is very caring. She would do anything for you. She really enjoys music and has 4 electric guitars. She drives a little piece of crap car, but she bought it herself and it runs great. She works at Western Watts (which is a phone survey place). She doensn't like her job much, but likes a paycheck so I am proud of her for sticking it out.

My husband is David. He is 41. He is cute as heck...and luck for him he is One good thing about him is that we are best friends. I think that is what has kept us together so long and going strong. We both enjoy the same things (camping, football, social with friends, etc). He is a foreman at a local construction company and is very good at what he does.

Me, I'm Michelle. I am pretty new to couponing (in the last year to year and a half) But I am hooked. I love saving money, it is my HIGH. I am also addicated to AFC. The savings listed on this site are so great and the people are so friendlly. I have made some true friends on here.

So, that is it for now. I will type more about me later when I have more time. But that is the short of who ChelleMorty is.
