Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

About Me

First off, I try my best to be content with what I've got..Too many people worry about keeping up with the trends and superficial stuff.I'm a firm believer that luck in life does exist, but hard work gets you further. Doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing..but do right and good things will come your way.I love my ol man & our cat Beaver ( the topic of many blogs), my family and my friends. I don't idolize anyone, nor do I aspire to be famous. I am content just fitting in, and enjoying the little things life has to offer.Outside of being a wife, daughter and sister, I am also a National Level Figure competitor. I began competing in NPC shows in 2006 under the guidance of guru,Kim Oddo.I'm a bit of a perfectionist, to the point of being obsessive about things, but I also find happiness in setting goals and reaching them.To quote Kid Rock, "You get what you put in, and people get what they deserve.." This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!

My Interests

NPC figure competitions, sewing, baking & scrapbooking.

I'd like to meet:

PHOTOS FROM THE USA BODYBUILDING AND FIGURE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN LAS VEGAS--- JULY 27-28 2007


Music:

I don't do techno, house or rap. There are a handful of rap songs I dig, but for the most part I stick to country. All time favorite is Gary Allan and his song, " No man in his wrong heart"

Movies:

I'm an Adam Sandler fan. Anything but punch drunk love can be my favorite movie on any given day.

Television:

Food Network. MTV " Real World", "The Duel", "Made" and "true LIfe" series.

Books:

I haven't read a book in years.

Heroes:

My mom for showing me what it means to be strong & pick yourself up when life throws you curves... My grandparents for their love and support and spoiling ways...My sister for being my bestest friend in the entire world.. Nick, for being my rock.
