About Me

For anyone who is bored enough or trying to waist time, here’s a short bio: I graduated from Ocean Springs High in 2002 and decided to go to LSU. I majored in political communications and photography. College life was a fabulous 3-year vacation and I was lucky enough to meet some really great Tiger friends and experience a kick ass football team. I met my fiancé, Spencer Van Buskirk in November of 2001. We have made it through 4 years of a long distance relationship. He was in the Air Force and stationed in Shreveport while I was in Baton Rouge attending college. In December of 2005 I graduated with a BS degree from LSU and moved home with my parents. Spencer joined us after he got out of the Air Force in May 2006. We lived with my parents til August 2007. While there, Spencer worked for the Catholic Diocese of Biloxi as the IT assistant and I worked as a lab tech at the Gulf Coast Research Lab (translation for that is: I fished and got paide for it!).In January 2007 I took a trip with one of my wonderful college friends, Becca Beacham to Europe. We visited Spain, France, Germany and Belgium in 21 days. It was my third time to Europe and I swear it keeps getting better every time I go! One of my favorite things to do is travel!! It was also my one last hoorah before law school.In August 2007, Spencer and I moved to Ridgeland, MS. I started law school at Mississippi College and he started working as a systems engineer for BCI. Law school takes up a lot of time and is considered by my professors to be "a 3 year marathon...never a sprint." I believe it!On May 24, 2008, Spencer and I tied the knot and officially became husband and wife. We've dated for 7 years and finally took the last step. We couldn't be happier. The wedding was at the Old Place on a beautiful sunny day. We were surrounded by lots of friends and family that made our day even more special. It was our dream wedding and it was followed by our dream honeymoon. We went to Costa Rica for a week that was absolutely amazing. We are truly blessed to have found each other. We love it!
