Dawn's family

I'm Dawn, daughter of Gordon and Linda Minty and granddaughter of Margarete (Dick) and Albert Minty. I've been married to Jeff Hendrickson since 2000. The husband picked the year. He said he'd always remember the anniversary. He hasn't forgotten yet, so I guess his plan worked!

We live in Columbus, Georgia. We have two dogs, Sassy and Alley, who keep us laughing with their misadventures. I am the features editor at The Ledger-Enquirer newspaper, and Jeff is the online editor. Yes, we work together. Yes, sometimes we drive each other crazy. Mostly, though, it works well and we save tons on gas money since we carpool most days.

I'm setting up this blog at the request of my father. (Yes, I'm 32, and yes, I still do what he says. Probably more so now than when I was a teenager.) I think this is great idea! (Yes, really, dad. Once in awhile you come up with a good one.) So I hope you all will post news and photos of your families and that we can share our stories with one another. E-mail me at dawnminty2828@yahoo.com if you need any help.

Here's a photo of my family.
