About Me

I married my soul mate, my best friend, my greatest teacher...my everything! I have the most wonderful family and friends. Our most recent addition to the family is our new dog, his name is Johnny Cash. I like to call him Mr. Johnny Cash Decker. My day is something like this...wake up at 6. Snooze in bed for a little. Johnny Cash jumps on the bed and licks my face then gets cozy between us (our dog is 75 lbs. he is a big white Australian Shepherd/ Pointer mix) Go for a run with Mr. Cash, watch the sun rise. Shower. Get to work by 7:30 am. Work, work, work, work for about 5 hours straight. Have a few laughs with the office for a about 20 minutes. Go home to run w/ Mr. Cash. Go back to work until 4 pm. Rush home and p/u Johnny Cash and go to the beach for an hour and a half walk. Watch the sunset. (shawn sometimes meets me if he is off of work) Go home. Wash the dog. Kiss and hug my sweet love Shawn. Shower. Make dinner or go out for sushi. Sip on a glass of wine while reading or doing art. (more recently i have gotten back into reading!) Then get in bed by 9:30. Contemplate life and try to take in the day one breath at a time...then my eyes clothes...and do it all over the next day and I love it.
