This is the Hokie Bird. Nearly the state bird of Virginia. Everyone loves him. He's related to a turkey. He gobbles. We're okay with it.I am a die hard Virginia Tech alum, proud Hokie & huge college football fan. My college experience was absolutely the best anyone could ask for ~ hands down. I have great memories, made great friends and am so proud to have spent four fantastic years in Blacksburg! I get a lil torn during basketball season though... born in Raleigh- I love UNC basketball too!
Prettiest stadium around.

Nashville has become my new home & I love it! Such a great city to live in!
I often times believe that I would be friends with certain celebrities --if only we had the opportunity to meet ;)!
Two of my favorites of my sister & I~ old & new
This is my nephew. He's the cutest kid you'll ever meet. period.
If I could be anyone else besides ME...
I absolutely adore Faith Hill. I admire her dedication to her family & her career.

Country music is dearest to my heart though I can pretty easily be persuaded to try out different stuff. I was raised on a variety of music & picked country up on my own. I love living in Nashville & getting to hear so many local musicians with such amazing talents! I have no musical talent- just an avid appreciation!
I don't watch a ton of movies but of the ones I've seen, I have many favorites. Sweet Home Alabama, Gone with the Wind, Hope Floats, The Notebook, Primal Fear, Pearl Harbor & Remember the Titans are a few I love.

I NEVER have the same color hair!
I watch Law & Order for hours on end. I love crime shows. I was definitely an FBI agent in another life. If I'm at home by myself, I am watching some type of forensic, crime solving, murder mystery. I love must-watch stuff like Friends, Sienfeld and Sex & the City too though.
I have self-diagnosed ADHD. If I can finish a book- it normally means I really have gotten into it! The Unquiet Earth, The Hiding Place, Lucky, The Star-Lite Drive In and Drinking: A Love Story are some I managed to finish & love. The Giving Tree is my all time favorite children's book & one I think everyone should read at any age.
My mom & my grandma who have both survived cancer, my sister who has become an amazing mother, my papa who cancer did take from me and every American soldier that goes to war so that I get to sleep in peace each night. So proud to be an American.The boys in my hometown- including one dear friend we lost March 1, 2007...we'll miss you Ryan Garrison.
