About Me

About me? I'm a country girl born to shop. I live in the beautiful Texas hill country and I'm married to a very talented, smart, and adventurous man that I love! We will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary on January 7th. We have 3 very interesting dogs, Drake (my german shepherd pound puppy), Rey (the border collie that isn't fond of kids), and Mika (the Australian shepherd). They are all so excited all the time. Aren't they supposed to grow out of that at some point? I will start working on my Master's degree in January at Texas Women's University. I can do the entire thing online so I can keep working. Speaking of work, I hire college students to work at with some really special kids each summer. I leave the end of January to go to Australia and New Zealand again. Yep, my job is pretty tough. I'm a very lucky girl. Life is good and I'm okay with that.

My Interests

The longer I'm married to Tim, the more outdoorsy things I like to do. I love rock climbing and kayaking, and I'm gaining a new appreciation for camping. I just got a new road bike and I'm trying that out. I'm pretty tired from the rides but I figure the exhaustion will go away sooner or later! My goal is to ride the Hotter'n Hell 100 in Wichita Falls next August. I have also been blessed with some amazing friends. There is nothing like a good pedicure therapy session :) with Elizabeth.

I'd like to meet:

Hmm...got to meet Alton Brown in August. I took Tim on a suprise trip (can you believe I kept a FUN secret for 5 months???) to meet him...it was really, really cool. Who would I like to meet? Julia Roberts. I'll have to think of some more...

Music:

I like all kinds of music...especially live music. We went to see Blue October and Wideawake at Stubbs after Thanksgiving (wow, that's been almost a year) and it was great! Check out Coldplay's new song, Till Kingdom Come.

Movies:

Raising Helen, Sweet Home Alabama, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Night in the Museum, and Talladega Nights is pretty dang funny!

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Bones, Saving Grace

Books:

I have started to read a bunch of books for class so that when I'm out of the country, I'm not insanely behind. Right now I'm on "All Your Worth," a financial book for my family economics class. Next on my fun reading list is Reviving Ophelia by Mary Piper. I've been reading a lot of Nicholas Sparks lately. Great books, but every one has made me cry. Check out The Alaphabet Sisters or Family Baggage by Monica McInerny.

53 hours.  That's how long it took the airline to find my luggage.  Apparently LAX is having serious luggage problems and since they're such an international hub they're screwing everyone up...

Komen Race for the Cure
