Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!

About Me

I'm a wife and a mother. I'm no where near perfect, but I think perfection is boring. I love my family, my friends, and all the little things that life has to offer. I've learned to roll with the punches and I put my trust in God. I never take anything for granted, I thank God each and everyday for all the blessings in my life. I pick and choose my battles, and let everything else fall by the wayside. I don't worry about the things that I cannot change, instead I accept the past and move on. I take one day at a time and cherish the things that matter the most. I'm a dreamer, just like my daughter Kaeleah. I'm entertained easily and I laugh at everything. I cry all the time, whether I'm happy or sad. I love deeply and forgive quickly. I believe in faith and I feel prayer is the best medicine. I love learning something new each and everyday, and I've realized the best teachers in my life are my daughters. Even though my life has been full of challenges, I wouldn't change a thing. These challenges have made me the strong person I am today. My life is a gift and I want to live it the best way I know how.

My Interests


It’s amazing how your interests change once you add children to your life. HA! Lately my life has revolved around diaper changes, checking out every baby website known to man, feeding a baby around the clock, knowing every lyric to every Hannah Montana song and watching my daughter idolize Hannah every waking moment, and catching every Drake and Josh episode on Nickelodeon (Drake is so cute according to my daughter lol). I'm learning to balance motherhood, working full-time, being a best friend to my husband and realizing how hard all this truly is! I would love just 15 minutes to myself, but I'm realizing that those moments are far and few between. I absolutely love my chaotic life right now and I say bring on the challenges. I love finding out that I’m strong enough to accomplish anything! So here are the things that I love to do when my days aren’t so busy....I love spending time with my family and friends, cooking for my family or for a crowd of people, trying new restaurants with my husband because we just LOVE food(this would explain my on-going weight problem lol), drinking a red beer or a bloody mary with Billy, relaxing on the sofa and watching a movie, taking a long hot shower(no time for bubble baths anymore), watching Brynn smile at absolutely everything, listening to Kaeleah talk about her days at school and realizing how great of a sense of humor she has, reading a good book, watching King of Queens reruns with Billy every night, I’m yearning for the day that I can start getting back into shape, the more I’m with Billy, the more I’m loving sports, I look forward to football season every year, I love the Huskers, the Steelers, and the KC Chiefs, I can’t wait for the time that I can start playing golf with Billy and become better than he is(hehe), I love playing softball and I’m hoping within the next couple of years I can get back into playing more and more, I love, love, love to dance, I love drinking my coffee in the mornings, reminiscing with my friends about the “good ol’ days”, taking vacations anywhere that has a beach, playing sequence, going to school(I just love learning), and most of all, watching my two girls grow each and every day.…..Kaeleah and Brynn are not only the chaos in my life, they are also the light of my life. My life might be crazy, but I’ll take crazy over boring any day. :o)

I'd like to meet:

I love all types of music! I love hip-hop, r&b, easy listening, classic rock, some country, alternative....pretty much everything. I have too many favorite artists to list them all, but my all time favorite artist is Prince!!

Just some of my favorites: Step Up, National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Buying the Cow, Silence of the Lambs, The Burbs, Spaceballs, Christmas Vacation, Wedding Crashers, The Wedding Date, The Notebook, Good Will Hunting, The Family Stone, Footloose, A Cool Dry Place, Liar Liar, Anchorman, A Time to Kill, All Adam Sandler Movies, Dairy of a Mad Black Woman, Hope Floats, Walk the Line, She's the Man, The Harry Potter Series, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and last but not least...movies from the Brat Pack era...Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, and Pretty in Pink :)

Books:

I mostly like to read true murder stories or mysteries. Some of my favorite authors are Ann Rule, James Patterson, John Grisham, and Mary Higgins Clark. I also like to read Nicholas Sparks & Mitch Albom books from time to time.

Heroes:

The man upstairs is my hero. Without him, I would be nothing. He's given me all the wonderful gifts in my life and for that I'm forever grateful. I don't have any other heros but I think everyone that is apart of my life or certain people that I've met along the way have influenced my life in some way. The two most influencial people in my life would probably be my husband and my daughter. Having my daughter forced me to make big decisions in my life and they ended up being the best decisions of my life. And being married to my husband, not only is he my best friend , we bring out the best in each other. Even though it was a long and bumpy road, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm right where I'm supposed to be.......
