A Little Bit About Me

Let's get the introduction done with. I am Debra Dawn Miller Vanier. I go by Debbi. Yes, no E. Born October 14, 1967. According to family lore, I was supposed to be named Delta Dawn, which I have a hard time believing, since the Tanya Tucker song of the same name did not come out until 1972, but there you go. I still claim it as my own, and used to have to sing it at family reunions. I have a 11 year old son, the light of my life, Christopher Jordan Vanier. He has ADHD and we are...oh, is that a butterfly? Very smart child, but school is a constant struggle. Married to Jimmy Darrell Vanier, Sr., since October 17, 1997. Might have to send him a link for him to remember that. Two step-brats, Jimmy Darrell Vanier, Jr., (DJ) and Amanda Marie Vanier Kelly (Mandy). I actually love them both very much. Step-grands who call me Memaw are Becca and DJ Kelly, Jacob Vanier, and one on the way. We lost Eric Vance Kelly on March 28, 2009, after a valiant battle against diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Also involved in court proceedings over BreeAnna, DJ's oldest. Also playing parent to Robert Fisher (Rabbit), who came into our lives when we discovered how shitty his dad and step-mom were. Whoo, that should be enough for tonight.
