MY NAME IS IRENE, I AM FROM TACOMA, WASHINGTON. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 23 YEARS, ( YES TO THE SAME GUY). WE HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, A SON 22, AND A DAUGHTER 18. WE HAVE ONE GRANDSON, BRANDON THAT WILL BE FIVE IN DECEMBER, I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC AND LOVE SOUTHERN'S ROOM. CAN'T IMAGINE ANYTHING NICER THAN TO BE WELCOMED SOMEWHERE WITH SO MUCH LOVE, CARING AND UNDERSTANDING, AND NOT AFRAID TO SHOW A LITTLE CHRISTIANITY. IN THIS LIFETIME ITS SO HARD TO IMAGINE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CAN BE DRAWN SO CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER WHEN THE MILES SEPERATE US BY SO MUCH, BUT IN THIS ROOM WE HAVE BECOME LIKE A FAMILY AND IT IS CLOSER THAN MY OWN FAMILY WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, SO THANK YOU SOUTHERN STAR AND BILL FOR OPENING UP THE ROOM AND FOR KEEPING IT ALL TOGETHER FOR ALL OF US.
