About Me

This is the truth about me~
I'm far from perfect. I have my bad days along with my good ones. I'm not where I need to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be. I try in all aspects of my life to be a good person and make the right chocies, but just like all of us do, I struggle. I'm stubborn and sometimes very judgemental, but I'm working on that the best I know how. I'm trying to filter all the bad things from my life, ranging from bad thoughts to bad people. I want to dedicate my life to good things and helping people. And I don't mean as in a career, I mean in every waking second of my life. If you need help I will be there no questions asked, friend or foe. I try to leave someone's day a little brighter than when I met them. I feel good if I can make someone smile. God has blessed me with an amazing family that I don't know what I would do without. I believe that if there are angels here on Earth, my mother is one of them. God also blessed me when he allowed me to meet my husband Jeff and become a part of his daily life. We have our ups and downs as every married couple do, but we never end the conversation on a "down" and that makes ALL the difference. He is my rock, my strength when I don't have any, my best friend, my lover, my everything and he loves me more than I will ever know. I just hope that I'm able to give back to him all that he gives to me without even realizing it. I love you Jeff.

My Interests

Jeff, my parents, my dogs, traveling with my husband, taking pictures and getting more in touch with God.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet good people. People that believe in God, care and want to leave this world a better place than they found it ... these are the kind of people I would like to call friends.
I'm up for meeting all kinds of people but people that gossip, talk bad about others, and generally have no good intentions in life are not for me unless they come to me in need.

Music:

I like most music but not too much into classical. Texas country rocks my socks off.

Movies:

I think I have watched every movie on Blockbuster's shelves! I love a good scary movie!

Television:

I love dumb mindless sitcoms like Everybody loves Raymond, King of Queens, Seinfeld, etc. I'm in love with CSI. Jeff and I enjoy midnight episodes of NEXT and Meerkat manor while laying in bed with the doggies. And I can't miss an episode of House or I will just die. And yes ... I'm an Idol fan!

Books:

My goal is to get through the entire Bible and for it to actually make sense to me, not just to say I did it!

Heroes:

Above all else God and anyone that dedicates their life to him ... Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. My husband. My mother. Anyone that stands up for what they believe no matter what. "Everyday normal" people. People that live from paycheck to paycheck but never complain, yet see themselves as lucky for everything they do have. But I most admire sick children. Take an hour one day and visit a childrens cancer ward. You'll see what I'm talking about.

The addiction to calling everything a disease.

Handy little chart!

You say: "It's impossible" God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27) You say: "I'm too tired" God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) You say: "Nobody really loves me" God says: I lov...
