About Me

I am a introverted person who is very happy staying at home with my husband and boys. I enjoy taking the time to do a well prepared meal to feed my family. Watching the children grow up to be the people they are has been a very educational experience for me. I have been blessed with a GREAT husband who is the world to me. All of the little things I do to make him happy has come back to me multiplied by 100. I love to spend hours in the spring in the garden. I do not have a fancy garden but something to hopefully feel comfortable in. I love having plants that are either nice smelling, eatable, or interesting to touch. I love to walk in the woods and talk and sing to the Lord.found this animal layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com

My Interests

I enjoy music, cooking, crafts, gardening, and spending time with my children and husband.

Music:

I like various types. Not much into the loud with a lot of electronic distortion. Mostly I listen to Pete's music. My interest ranges from Patsy Cline's "Stop, Look, and Listen", Josh Turner's "Long Black Train", America, Anne Murry, to Barbershop music, Big Band Music. Pete has increased my taste to such people as Buddy Miller, Enya, Lucinda Williams, and Nancy Griffith. I love to sing gospel while working in the kitchen. I recently watched Kayce Jones in a music video and am planning on picking up one of her CD's. I also like to listen to such artists as Scott Krippayne, Michael W. Smith, and Susan St. James. Solomon Burke and Buddy Miller have a new CD out that I am looking forward to hearing.

Television:

Ghost Whisperer, Monk, and House

Books:

Enjoy reading a lot. History is a main interest.

Heroes:

My Lord for all that he suffered for my sake. Pete the love of my life for how much he loves us and how hard he works for us.
