I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



I love to sing. I love my children more than life itself. I have a wonderful man in my life who makes me very happy and am so in love with him. I have the most wonderful parents ever. I have a God who loves me and watches over me. So, you can see, I am very blessed :)
Things I Want To Do:
1. Visit Ireland and trace my "roots".
2. Visit Scotland and take home a hunk in a kilt.
3. Spend a week at a spa being pampered.
4. Take an Alaskan cruise.
5. Take my father to visit Japan again (he fell in love with it when he was over there during WWII).
6. Meet Kiefer Sutherland.
7. Write a biography.
8. Live in a lighthouse.
9. Learn to dance.
10. Become a size 5.

My Interests



Playing the piano, singing, genealogy research, hanging out with friends and family, watching Gator sports.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Tim Tebow, Kiefer Sutherland, Dave Barry, Steve Spurrier, Mel Gibson, my great-grandmother and my grandfather who died before I was born.

Music:

Everything from Willie Nelson to Bach.

Movies:

Facing the Giants, Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Cinderella Man, Casablanca, Mr. Holland's Opus, Hope Floats, A Walk in the Clouds, Sound of Music, South Pacific, Braveheart, The Patriot, Highlander, The Lost Boys, The Wedding Dress, Sabrina, Shall We Dance, The Uninvited, Meet Me in St. Louis, White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, any Shirley Temple movie, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Television:

I love "24"!! That's about the only show I keep up with on a regular basis. I also like Ghost Whisperer. And I'm killer at Jeopardy!

Books:

I read the Bible more than anything. I just don't have a lot of time for reading. I do enjoy books by Mary Higgins Clark and Eugenia Price.

Heroes:

My father is my first and foremost hero. He was a firefighter for 30 years and did all kinds of brave things. But just the fact that he is my daddy and has always loved me and stood by me is what makes him a true hero to me. I wish I could have a heart for God like he's had all these years.
