About Me


I am trying out blogger, you can see my site at http://momofajl.blogspot.com/I grew up in Frayser, long ago, when it was still a decent part of Memphis. I went to SkyView until it closed and then I graduated from First Assembly. I started college at Union and joined Kappa Delta Sorority. After spending too much time at Lambuth and not enough time at Union, I lost my scholarships and transferred to the University of Memphis, which was more like high school than college. Just before completing my degree, I met Nick and we got married. We have been married 11 years and we have 3 boys: Aaron (5), Joshua (4), and Logan (2). When we got married, Nick was in the Navy and we moved to Jacksonville, FL where he was stationed. We have lived in FL, TN, and now he works for Dell and we live in Yukon, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKlahoma.

My Interests


Myspace LayoutsI love to read and play with my kids.This is a great poem I found for all KD's:)When my son first leaves for college, His dad will give him advice for life, You can date each and every Kappa, But bring home a KD for a wife.You can party with the Thetas, And it is fine to date a DG, But when it is time to marry, Be sure to find a KD.The Deltas' can be on your agenda, And Phi Mu's are fun for a date, But never ever forget that You'll want a KD for your mate.We want you to enjoy your college years. And give all the sororities a spin. But never buy a ring unless Kappa Delta is on her pin.During your four years of college, You'll go from one house to another. But take the advice of your smiling dad, And bring home a Kappa Delta like your mother
