As Fiona Apple sings "...I've got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream...".
I am proud to be an American and I always cry when I hear the National Anthem.
I was born and raised in Anthony, KS in a funeral home. So, don't flirt with me, my dad is an undertaker.
I received a scholarship from Cessna to attend Wichita State University and pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering. And, no, I didn't just pursue it, I got it. Yesssssssssssssssssss....
While in college I earned my VFR rated pilot's license. I will continue earning ratings so one day when you are rich and famous, or just rich, and have your own jet plane you know who to hire as your pilot. Trust me, I fly better than I drive. lol. I have a motorcycle license as well.
Now, I am a real-life enginerd in the USA's amazing space program, aka NASA. Hopefully, there will be a time when you all gaze at the stars and know I'm among them serving our space program as an astronaut. If I do not become an astronaut, I will run an aerospace company one day. I've already retired from my second career; I am a former Houston Texans Cheerleader.
I figure since I have a driver's license, pilot's license and motorcycle license I might as well go for a concealed handgun license. After that I am learning how to drive motor homes. Bubba Smooth is going to teach me. I think I'd look hot driving a house on wheels.
I miss my family since they are all in the south central Kansas area and don't come see me (except Mom). lol. But, if you know my family they are either saving lives or putting people six feet under and that keeps them busy.
I'm just part of putting lives in high places....

Some words to consider:
"If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." ~ Ronald Reagan
"It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." ~ Chinese Proverb
"The tongue has the power of life and death." ~ Ancient Hebrew Proverb
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.†Ralph Waldo Emerson
"We are free to be free." ~Nelson Mandela
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
It isn't win or lose, it is how many fans you have when you leave.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
"When you give up your dreams, you die." ~ Flashdance
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit;)
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Fret not yourself because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
