Whiskey Filled Nights Make For Apology Filled Mornings...

About Me


I am a southern girl. I have big, big dreams. They will be mine. I make decisions with my heart. My heart breaks quite a bit:-) I love recklessly. I admire loyalty and honesty and people who care not what others think. I will never sell out for something I don't believe in. I believe in doing what makes you happy. I live for hot, summer southern nights. Music is my life. My cowboy boots are hot. I am starting my own company. I always strive to be the absolute best person that I can be. I am strong. I love life. I have values that no one will compromise. I am fearless. I love my family. I have amazing friends. I fall. I bleed. I feel. I hope. I love. I trust to no end. I always get back up and go in the only direction I can, forward. I love sitting under the stars. My future is blinding. Remember my name, you will see it again. Talent has no limit.

My Interests

Do Tennessee girls rock??

My roots...

My music...

..
I am an endearing fan of Tennessee Whiskey, Texas Country, and Peyton Manning:-) In general I just love football, any and every kind! It's such a great sport. If my work schedule allowed I would watch it all of the time.
I love the SEC,especially Razorback Football, although it just might kill me! Tailgating with friends and family is the best. Now that I live in Texas, I'm waiting to see how much "bigger" it really is down here.
I have a tendency to get caught up in the moment. I am passionate and have a truly wild spirit. I love to play in the mud;-) Probably the biggest tomboy and girly girl all wrapped up into one person!

I live to run until I can't breathe. I love the sound of my shoes hitting the pavement, faster and faster. I'd rather be outside. I love my pilates classes and the gym, it's my stress free time. I feel now, that if you can't find one hour a day to improve your mind and body, then your life is way too hectic. I am a fan of others who feel the same because if you do not care about yourself first, how will you ever care for someone else...

I love the sun, sand, and the ocean. I shop at Walmart at 2:00 in the morning. I am so damn sarcastic it's ridiculous. I love to laugh. I am a free spirit. I've got a gypsy soul and a restlessness that keeps me moving:)
I bite my lip when I get nervous.
I'll try anything, once;-)
I love to travel and take random road trips- even though some don't work out as I originally planned- i.e roadtrip to COLTS/COWBOYS game this year.
Sooo...the Cowboys have grown on me a bit, but I will still be a loyal Colts fan until I die...Romo is still a Homo(ha, ha) and probably needs to stop dating blondes until after the Cowboys make it to the Superbowl:-) I prefer the Spurs over the Mavs, the Rangers will never be a threat to my Yankees, and well the Texans, who are they again?

I love baseball as well, but sometimes I'd much rather be at the game watching!! Nothing like ballpark food, $6 dollar beers, and screaming at the umpires when they make a bad call!
I am a Yankees fan, deal with it...! And I figured out quickly that it takes a pretty thick skin to be a Yankees fan, you either love 'em or hate 'em- LET'S GO YANKEES!!
My favorite Yankee is none other than the pretty boy himself, J. Damon!!! But I know the team would be nothing without Captain DJ:-) Boston could fall off the face of the earth and I would be fine...
SO PRETTY!!

I'm adventurous, a tad bit wild at times, and just love to live my life. I'm always up to try new things! Oh and I want to work for ESPN one day! I'm gonna be famous so remember the face:)
I paint when I am inspired, I write songs to clear the jumbled thoughts out of my mind. I GO AFTER EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE I WANT WITH HEART AND PASSION...I have no regrets because I believe everything in your life has purpose...I believe that the person you're with should light a fire within you like you've never felt before...

I'd like to meet:



Peyton Manning of course*Derek Jeter, The Entire Yankees Lineup*Justin Furstenfield For Being Amazingly Passionate and Inspirational on Stage...
Any person who is courageous enough to show their real self, to dance and not care who's watching, to love fearlessly, laugh recklessly, live life boldly and never have any regrets...

Music:


I am a sucker for an acoustic guitar(and bass players) I have a deep admiration for song writers, and local musicians. Love, love live music, and texas bands.

Lucero is probably my favorite band ever and if you listen to their lyrics you would know why...blue october runs a close second, Justin Furstenfield is intense, and passionate, and connects on a completely different level with his fans...

On my ipod at the moment, Secondhand Serenade, The Killers, Blue October, Lucero, Smashing Pumpkins, Breaking Benjamin,Cory Branan, The Wreckers, Eli Young, Drag the River, Randy Rogers, Brandon Jenkins, Dierks Bentley, Stoney Larue, Sick Puppies, Skillet, Imogen Heap, Chris Daughtry, Ryan Adams, Ben Harper, The Black Crowes, Buckcherry, Jason Reeves, Kevin Fowler, Wade Bowen, Warren Barfield, Brandon Rhyder, Blu Sanders, Jason Reeves, Lucinda Williams...Ah so many more, so little space.

Music is inspirational- it can describe a moment at times, better than I could have ever imagined. It's my release, my comfort, my rage, my peaceful sleep...It holds my memories, and drives me to be a better person, and I don't know if I would be the same person without it...

Movies:

Owen Wilson, and Vince Vaughn, I haven't seen a movie that I haven't liked with those guys in it! Wrong Turn is the best movie ever made. I love You, Me and Depree, Wedding Crashers, The Last Kiss(If you haven't seen it- do, it's an eye opener) The Guardian, Boondock Saints(yes I liked it even though I had to cover my eyes through the whole movie JA.) Serendipity, We Are Marshall, Friday Night Lights, and so many more...

Anything with Josh Hartnett! My favorite movie scene of all time - Wicker Park
..

Television:


Grey's Anatomy, SVU, All Day Viewing Sessions of seasons 1-3 of Nip/Tuck;-), Friends Re Runs, Entourage All of those incredibly cheesy shows on Nick at Nite, the History Channel captivates me, Anything that involves the words COLTS FOOTBALL! ESPN- I'm probably one of the only girls you'll ever know who falls asleep with Sportscenter on! And I am convinced that my life could be an episode of One Tree Hill

Books:


Just finished Tony Dungy's A Quiet Strength, everyone should read it :-)

Heroes:


My daddy- He taught me to be confident and gave me the strength to always stand on my own 2 feet. He is my fire, my spirit, my drive. His light shines through my eyes:)and his inspiration will always be alive inside of me.
My grandmother, she was what I only hope I can be- the perfectly painted picture of grace, wisdom, and love
My niece Anna, and my nephews Nickolas and Miles, for being so strong, so resilient, and for always believing in me and giving me hope on days when I could find none...
Our soldiers...for being strong, courageous, and true.
