About Me


Well, let's see...I'm still trying to get it all right. I'm a total mess sometimes. Very organized at work, and a little scatter-brained with the laundry. I'm a little hard on myself, but always try to see the best in others. I'm a dreamer and extremely passionate...sometimes to a fault. I'm endlessly hopeful and my faith is untouchable. I think kindness is the best policy and truly believe in the Golden Rule. I want to see new places and experience new cultures, but everytime I go HOME I still crawl in Mom's bed at least once. I'm learning something new nearly every day. I'm patient and understanding. My friends lift me up and encourage me to be a better person without me even realizing it. I love them as if they were family. I think my mother is the strongest person in the world and the older I get the more I realize...SHE WAS RIGHT. No matter how old, and big Jared and CJ get, they will always be my little brothers. I'm not sure what I've done to deserve the love and support from these amazing people in my life, but I remember to be constantly thankful. My dream has always been what I saw myself as since I was a child...a wife and mother, but I have my own goals and visions for myself independently. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
