Hello! My name is Rachel McClelland. I was born in Illinois, and I lived there until I was 18. I come from a large family. I am the middle child in a group of 7 kids. I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters. All of my brothers and sisters are married with families of their own. I have 8 nephews and 11 nieces. When I was 18 I moved to South Carolina and then Montana. I moved to Florida in 1996. My husband, Nathan and I have been married for 15 years and we have one child, Aaron, who is 14. Aaron will be starting high school this year at Gateway High. I also have a black cat named Katie.
