FILE - This Dec. 1, 2005, file photo, shows the governor's wife Jenny Sanford standing with a "low country" or seaside-themed tree that her four sons decorated for the Christmas season at the Governor's Mansion, in Columbia, S.C. The Sanford boys made the ornaments using sand dollars, seashells, alligator teeth and bones. At the top of the tree is a sea turtle skull. This independently wealthy, Georgetown educated, former Wall Street executive is known in South Carolina as a strong, religious woman. She says she is willing to work on her ailing marriage to Gov. Mark Sanford, but to those who know her, it is no surprise she threw her cheating husband out. He went public Wednesday, June 24, 2009, with his secret trip to see a woman in Argentina with whom he admitted an affair. AP Photo logo AP Photo 4 months ago
