We got married right out of high school and have been together ever since. Most things we have done together and we prefer it that way. We worked together at a private club and ran a very successful martial arts program for 15 years. Now we are trying our hand at writing books. Oh, did I mention the kids and grandkids? And there is a donkey, goat and cat too!
