About Me

I'm happily married to my best friend, who is absolutely the man of my dreams. And I'm even more happily raising our 7 year old daughter, who is the center of my universe. Jeff legally adopted her on April 16, 2008. Thats the best gift in the world for all three of us! Jeff and I have a "mixed marriage" cause he's the biggest Auburn fan in the world, and I'm the biggest Alabama fan. It gets real ugly at our house during iron bowl week! I love my life. I feel like I am the luckiest woman in the world. I'm living proof that dreams do come true. And that you don't always get second chances...sometimes you may actually get third or fourth ones too! I'm very self confident, I am strong willed, and I know now what my mother meant when she used to tell me that I can do anything I set my mind too. I stand up for what I believe in, I'm a very loyal friend once you've got me, and I believe that family is the most important thing in a persons life...only second to God. I'm extremely protective of the people I love. I go after my goals, and I never settle......anymore. I feel like my life will not be complete until I have been skydiving, visited the set of As The World Turns, owned my own business, been on a game show, and finally finish college! I love thunderstorms, playing with sharpies, and sleep. I'm 36 years old and I still get an Easter basket. I still believe in the Tooth Fairy. My favorite place to be in the world is the beach. Its my heaven on earth. All my stress, problems, and worries just float away as soon as I touch the sand. I hate cockroaches, busy signals, the smell of ketchup, and feet. I also HATE being wrong. And even worse...I hate admitting it! I'm scared of jellyfish, the dentist, clowns,....and midgets. Midgets clowns really freak me out. Crowded grocery stores freak me out too, but only grocery stores. I've learned through the years that money can't buy happiness. However it can buy me lots of things, and some things make me very happy! lol. Really, I'm happiest reading bedtime stories with Marin, singing silly songs, or eating popcorn while we're having one of our living room camp-outs with a stack of dollar Movie Gallery rentals we've seen 100 times. She is truly the love of my life, and she's the best thing thats ever entered my life. Sometimes I think having her is the only thing I've done right. I thank God for her, and my wonderful husband everyday. I try to learn from my mistakes, live life to the fullest every day, and plan wisely for the future. Lifes too short - have fun living it!! --

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A few years ago I would've answered this question differently. I would've said, My Soulmate. But I had already met him, I just didn't know it yet. He was my best friend.

Jackson, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, George Clooney, Eminem, Matthew MacConaughey (even though he doesn't wear deoderant), Kate Hudson, Johnny Depp, Dolly Pardon, Heather Locklear, Salma Hayek, Will Smith, Jimmy Buffet, Rachel Ray, MaDonna, Willie Nelson, someone that has been to the moon, Sam Elliot, Paula Deen, Amanda Peet, God, Bear Bryant, Bob Barker, and the real Mrs.Claus. (Since she's the backbone of the whole operation!)-----
