Hi Everyone--Dianne here

[DianneH]

Hello everyone!

I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I live in the United States in Hampton, Virginia. I love classical music and thought I would stop by and see what everyone is talking about here on the forum!

I have three daughters: they are 29, 19 and 15. (The two younger ones are my step-daughters but have lived with us for 7 years).

We live on the water so we love boating, going to the beach, relaxing on the back porch watching the sunset, traveling (especially cruising), reading. I have been taking piano lessons for almost 5 years. It was a lifelong dream and I made it a reality.

I work from anywhere in the world on my laptop helping people with their Social Media and Viral Marketing. My husband is a pilot for American Airlines but has taken a Military Leave of Absence to go back into the Navy for a couple of years. He is also a Naval Aviator there. Life is hectic at times but it is ALL good!

I love meeting new people and have made some wonderful friends through social networking. I look forward to getting to know everyone here at the Forum.
