a southerner through and through, and proud of it.
a gardener with a green thumb inherited from my father & grandmother.
a wanna-be writer with ideas for the “Great American Novel” swirling around in my head.

someone who never wants to lose touch with the joy and wonder of being a child. I still love to splash in puddles, blow bubbles, swing, and play catch in the front yard.

a life-long lover of photography.
blessed with incredible parents and in-laws.
ridiculously sentimental, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. (This is a heart-shaped candy box that my grandfather gave my grandmother when they were "courting". It's one of my prized possessions.)
a worrier.

a collector of American country antiques.
a TV viewer with questionable yet varied tastes: Judge Judy, Kathy Griffin, American Idol, Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, Ghosthunters, CBS Sunday Morning, Fox News, and ANYTHING on Bravo and the History Channel.

a Republican.

surrounded by fantastic strong women who I am proud to call "friends".
a woman who, as of today, has lost 130 pounds in the last 14 months.
a cleaning machine when I am worried or stressed.

a proud American.

currently trying to decide whether or not I am going back to school.

a dog-loving mom to three outdoor cats.

hopeful that one day I’ll be sitting at this desk listening to tiny little toddler feet racing around on our hardwood floors.

a work in progress, and always hope to be.
