About Me

I am a fun loving person who is happily married for the past 16 years. I have two beautiful children that are the light of my life. I am easy to get along with and slow to get angry but once I do "watch out'...the red headed temper will flare and it is not a pretty site. I work full time at Centier Bank and love the people I work with. I coach the Junior Bible Quiz kids at church and love every minute of it. They are the best. I have come to learn that you cannot make everyone happy. And I have also come to learn that you can wear yourself out trying so why bother. Life is way to short to hold grudges and it only ends up hurting yourself. I love the Chicago White Sox!!! Bobby Jenks is my favorite player. He is otherwise affectionately known as "my fat buddy".

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus...when the time is right! All my loved ones in Heaven one day!
