About Me

"Eat to live, not live to eat"I've become a little bit of a health freak lately, i will admit it. It hit me over night while i was reading the book the Maker's Diet by John Rubin. Its a book for people with Crohn's disease and IBS.I live in California with my husband. He is a Marine, and we just got stationed here back in October. Its okay out here, its the desert, nuff said lol. I am super happy, i have the greatest friends in the world, and the best hubby in the world. I do miss my family back in good ole' KY though!I love chicken, turkey, purses, cute shoes, bermuda shorts, potatoes, veggies, my walking away the pounds fittness DVD, and my stretchie band that i have for my arm workouts! I can't stand petty people, I don't like people who fake being sick for attention, i'd be happy to trade places with those types, they can be sick, i don't want to be....I'm not a fan of plane rides, and i can't stand california drivers!!

My Interests

Wow, there's all kinds of things that i'm interested in! I love movies, my husband, shoes, bowling, swimming, tanning beds, getting my nails done, make up, and usually all things girlie.

I'd like to meet:

I am here to meet any other millitary wives, fellow Crohnie's, and anyone else that I may have lost touch with throughout the years.

Music:

I like just about every kind of music out there. My favorite group by far is Racal Flatts. They are just amazing! I also love Teddy Greiger, Evanessence, James Blunt, Jon Mayer, Joss Stone.

Movies:

Oh man I love scarey movies!!! I Liike just about every kind of movie out there, except for Sci-fi. I love comedies, especially anything with Will Farrell, or Vince Vaugh, they are hysterical. I really like Napoleon Dynamite even though its kind of a dumb funny! I really like dude Where's my car too!

Television:

My favorite show of all time I'd have to say is Law and Order SVU. I drive my husband absolutely crazy watching the re-runs on USA all of the time!! I LOVE sex and the city, The Closer, ER, and any other kind of police drama.

Books:

I love Breaking the Viscious Cycle by Elaine Gotschall. I also really like Patient Heal Thyself by John Rubin. These two books have a diet designed for people with Crohn's disease. I am hooked on these two books and relaly believe that it is my path to good health. They are amazing books, and i would suggest them to anyone with my illness, or any other types of digestive troubles.

Heroes:

My biggest Heroes are my mom, dad, brother and of course my husband Tom. I have been through so much in my life, and the 4 of them are always there routing me on.
