Hi, my name is Jodi O. I was born in, raised & still reside  in Yadkin County NC, I'll soon celebrate my 46th birthday! I'm the bio-mom of two & the bonus mom to many. I'm an animal lover who is ABSOLUTELY bossed around by my own dogs! I am engaged to Joey, who was my first "real boyfriend" all the way back in the late 90's. However, we didn't make it way back then, but nearly 3 decades later fate allowed us to get back together & to blend our amazing family of 7 nearly 8 years ago now! It hasn't been struggle free, the blending of 5 strong-willed teenagers BUT, I wouldn't change a thing! A lifetime of trauma has left me a disabled Spoonie & working like a man has nearly broken my body. Despite that, I am thankfully to say that we are blessed to own a hardwood flooring business here in the foothills of NC. So, despite my limitations, I am still able to get out of the house to oversee our showroom. 
In my free time, you'll likely find me outside in my She Shed with my dogs. I also enjoy crochet, embroidery, drawing, Tattoos, all types of gardening, painting, Bible study, and time out in nature. I'm currently down 40lbs on my weight loss journey and am a thankful recovering Rx addict that's almost 9 years into my recovery. My kids & Jesus are what keeps me going when the days are hard & the nights are even harder. I'm so blessed to be chosen this week! I've honestly been really struggling lately! Trauma anniversaries will do that to ya; but being chosen almost feels like a wink from God or universal sign that it's all going to absolutely be ok! Thank you so much Samantha for all that you do for this wonderful group! If you've read this far, thank you, too! I apologize, I've never been accused of being short-winded, by any means! lol
