About Me

I LOVE hiking!!! I took the photo on my background at Providence Canyon State Park in Georgia. In my pics section I have an album dedicated to some of my favorite scenery shots. I LOVE music, so I enjoy attending a good concert when I can. I'm happily married to my wonderful husband of nine years. We share so much in common and have a lot of fun together. :)
