About Me

I am 24 years old and I have a 2-year old son, who I adore!!! I work a full time job and I mean FULL time. I just took on a night job waitressing at the Eagle's Lodge just to give me some time to myself for a change. I never have any time to do things I enjoy except spend time with my son and husband. When my son was 10 months old he was diagnosed with a disease called Neurofibromatosis. It definitely has it's obstacles, but God will see us through. Kaleb amazes me each and everyday with his wonderful personality. Anytime I am having a bad day, I can look at Kaleb and know that everything will be okay. I believe that the best things that have happened in my life are my son and husband TJ. The whole "grown up" life really changes everything! I miss hanging out with my old friends, but I adore my family. It's amazing how one thing can change your life forever. My son is my whole world and I wouldn't change that for anything on earth. I have been over some tough obstacles in my life, but I thank God everyday for helping me get to where I am today.If you would like to learn more about Kaleb's disease you can go to www.ctf.org or google Neurofibromatosis and get all the information...Neurofibromatosis Public Service Announcement

Heroes:

My mom because she has taught me that women are strong and are capable of anything that we put our mind to. She raised three girls by herself and I grew up knowing that you don't have to have a man do things for you. She was always very independent and that's exactly how I am to this day. Also my son, although he is too young to understand his disease he lives his life as a normal little boy. He is VERY smart and I know that he can overcome the obstacles that might stand in his way.
