I'm a person of many words, so most people who know me would not be surprised by much. I'm thinking maybe one of the least known things about me, might be that is used to be a van-school bus driver for handicapped children. God has blessed me with a special love for special needs children, so I loved that job.<br />I also, have done MANY different jobs--here's a listing: Nurses Aid @ a Nursing Home (straight out go HS; Preschool Teacher; Newspaper Deliverer (by car); Van-sized School Bus Driver; babysitter (including for a Pro-Football Player); Teacher Assistant/Substitute Teacher @ a Christian School (including a short time teaching business math--YIKES! I am NOT a math person...); Wilton Method Cake Decorating Teacher; Ice Cream Cake Maker/Decorator for Dairy Queen; Teacher Coordinator/Academic Coordinator for a Foreign Exchange Program; Cashier/Order Taker etc. at a 50's Style Fast Food Restaurant/Diner; Cashier/Stocker at a Gift Shop (selling things made in the Northwest. Now, I follow my husband all over the world as he travel's with his job & we have now been to 26 different countries (soon to be 27). We spend more time between 2 main brand hotel's than we do at home! I'm also spending my 'spare time' as an aspiring author, currently working on an Inspirational Contemporary Romance, and my Memoir as a breast cancer survivor, soon to be 20 years. I also, occasionally write book reviews...<br />Vicki<br />vmarney (at) hot mail (dot) com Jon and Vicki Marneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490578546719296693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-28219162573967667282014-09-11T09:41:13.229-04:002014-09-11T09:41:13.229-04:00People that dont know me might be surprised to kno...People that dont know me might be surprised to know I can speak two languages - somewhat fluently :-) <br />Think I made it in by the skin of my chin on the giveaway!<br />Thanks for the great review - Introducing a new author to me. <br />amylsmith at bledsoe dot netAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788611540035415046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-22487513511368347692014-09-11T08:12:41.372-04:002014-09-11T08:12:41.372-04:00I love the sound of this series, and I thoroughly ...I love the sound of this series, and I thoroughly enjoyed this interview!
