About Me

I am 34 years old (oh how I hate that "O" word), and have been married to the same wonderful man (Travis) for the last 12 years.



I am a "dog person". If it has a wagging tail, a big wet doggy nose, flopsy ears, and gives great wet kisses - odds are that I am going to love it!

Personalized Glitter Graphics

I enjoy doing volunteer work for the National MS Society and our local Humane Society. It gives a great sense of accomplishment and is a wonderful form of therapy!

I am a fan of racing - watching cars go fast and turn left gives me a thrill. My hubby and I attend our local dirt track as much as we are able. Vrrrrrooooom!

My husband and I are big San Diego Chargers fans. Even through the bad times - we love them regardless!

My Interests

Reading, Embroidery and Needlework, Taking our dog for a walk, Sewing, Volunteering for causes that are important to me, Spending time with friends and family, and having FUN!

Music:

Maroon 5, Nickleback, Magni, Dilana, P!nk, Daughtry, Foo Fighters, Trace Adkins, Martina Mcbride, Josh Turner, Godsmack, Evanessance, Queen, No Doubt.

The list could go on forever as I think of people to add. For the most part - if it has a beat and I can tap my toes to it - I will give it a listen. The major exception to this rule is rap - which I just don't care for.

Movies:

Hrrrrm - I am a sucker for old movies and musicals. My most favorite movie ever has got to be "Boys Town" with Spencer Tracy.

I also love pretty much anything with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Newman when he was younger. Movies like "Singin' in the Rain", "Anchors Aweigh", and "Cool Hand Luke" are pretty much my favorite type.

A couple of other mentions that are favorites - "Grease", "West Side Story", and "Gypsy"

Television:

Jericho, Trick my Truck (my redneck woman side shows here), Charmed, Biggest Loser, Ghost Hunters, Rock of Love (guilty pleasure), Trading Spaces, Decorating Cents, Law and Order:SVU AND CI, CSI (the original).

I also watch a lot of shows on Animal Planet, Discovery, TLC, and the HIstory Channel.

Books:

Fiction - things like Interview with a Vampire, most of the V.C. Andrews series that are in print.

I also enjoy things about people and their pets, Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Things like that!

Heroes:

My biggest heroes are my mom and dad - Crystal and Randy. Mom has MS, and Dad is her primary caretaker since she is unable to walk anymore. The strength and love that they have for each other (married for 35 years), even with their daily struggles, is such a great inspiration to me.

I would also be remiss if I did not mention my husband and his family as being heroes to me. They helped me so much as I battled with facing up to my depression, and the issues I was facing with that. Words cannot express how much love I have for them.

I love all of you guys so much!!
