About Me

My name is Angie, I'm 30, and I've been happily married to my husband, Rusty, for 8 years. He is the love of my life, my best friend, my everything. We can throw down with the best of them, and we can make up with the best of them - it just works for us that way. I love Rusty so much, and I can't imagine my life without him. We have a beautiful 2 year old son named Tyler. He is no doubt the light of our lives - he is the most wonderful gift God has ever given to us. He's such a joker, even at his age, and he's full of energy and confidence. He is, in a word, beautiful. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats that we love very much and consider family - I can't imagine not having them in our lives. We recently closed our maintenance company and opened a restaurant called Tailgate Grille in Maryville, TN - come by and check us out!! :)

My Interests

I love spending time with my husband and my son, going out on our boat, hanging out at the house, bowling, playing cards, hiking (though I'm not good at it), photography, painting (rooms not pictures), singing, and watching Tennessee Football.

I'd like to meet:

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom. -unknown

Music:

A little bit of everything. I can enjoy the smooth sounds of Michael Buble or I can rock with Metallica - it really just depends on the mood I'm in.

Movies:

I enjoy romantic comedies, chick flicks, animated flicks, horror movies, and if I HAVE to, I can sit through something that Rusty picks out. :)

Television:

Well, considering my 2 year old controls the TV, I'd have to say Handy Manny, Doodle Bops, and Mickey Mouse Club House.

Books:

Mysteries and thrillers, mostly. I've started reading a lot more lately including titles by John Grisham, Jefferson Bass (the Body Farm books!), and Mary Higgins Clark.

Heroes:

My mother is probably my biggest inspiration. She's a true example of a strong woman.

My Blog

A plank in my eye...

Well, I am humbled. Very humbled... or ashamed. Closer to ashamed, I think. Rusty and I sat in the office tonight and prayed together for our business. We prayed that God would...

Giving God Control

I'm at home today. That's a miracle, I know, but I'm not feeling so well. Sort of yucky all over, but nothing major. I may have a bad case of Tyler-itis, too, though. I haven't...

BRING IT ON!!!

I sat on my bed the other day, feeling quite defeated, and yelled at the top of my lungs "BRING IT ON, DEVIL!!" Probably not the smartest thing to do, but definitely a test for myself and my fai...

To the point

No long winded, story book blog this time. Just a few lines to say that I've finally hit rock bottom with no where to go but my knees. I've been denying it, I've been ignoring it, but the ...

Bitter/Sweet Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a bit different around our house this year.... My Mom was the only one of my family members that came to eat with us, and it sort of sucked. My dad was not feeling well and deci...
