April 3, 201412 yr So, I’m Petra, which only my Mom ever called me, but I love my online Petra identity. J I grew up in San Diego County and moved to Colorado when I was 23. My Mom is originally from Colorado, so I have a lot of family here. Twenty years later, I have a handsome husband of 15 years, two awesome kids, cows, chickens, bees, dogs and lots of wildlife around us (like coyotes, dear, elk, porcupine, a bear (only saw him once – thank goodness), hawks, etc. – not my in-laws. lol). Colorado is a great place to be married and raise a family, but I miss San Diego so much, especially during the dark snowy months like January. I often work on a plan to live in both places, but so far, that hasn’t happened. I'll keep dreaming about that! I started smoking young, like 13. I quit in 2007 for four years and very stupidly relapsed. My new quit is going strong – other than occasional junkie thinking that my AWESOME quitter friends help me kick to the curb. J I lost my Dad to cancer from smoking. L He was only 57, and I absolutely adored him. MEH!!! I’m still so sad he is gone. I look forward to reading all of your introductions and getting active on the Board. :)
