About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Who am I? Well, I'm a Texas born chicana who became an army brat at age 4 and has been as far south as Panama and as far north as Alaska. I've been here in Fayetteville for the past 13 years, so I guess I call this home! Being the true Gemini that I am, there are different sides to my personality. I love getting down & dirty in paintball, yet I'm just as content cuddling on the couch watching movies,or being pampered in the pedicure chair! I don't believe in doing anything halfway, so everything I do, be it play,work,love,or fight, I do with all the passion I possess. I love being a mom; family is everything to me. I'm learning as I grow that God is my best friend; & learning to surrender to His will is my greatest joy,heartbreak,challenge,& adventure!

You live on the edge, and you live for the adrenaline rush. You don't need luxuries, snob appeal, or superfluous gadgets. You put your top down, get your motor revving, and take all the curves that life throws at you at full speed. So what if you spin out occasionally?
