My name is Melanie, I'm 28 years old. I have two kids, a 5 year old girl Zoe and a 2 year old boy Ethan. Their father is in the active army and we are living in Ft Lee. We're trying to work something out to make life better for the kids. This is my beloved Xanga. Most of my posts are protected. If you wish to be added to the protected list, please subscribe and leave me a message. If I don't add you, don't take it personally. I am very protective of my family and that's how it's gonna be.
