About Me


I can only start by saying that God has truly blessed me. I graduated from Campbell University in May of 2005. That weekend, I married my high school sweetheart, Jason. This November we will celebrate our 10th year together. We haven't had any babies yet, but our dog (Roz) and cat (Korbin) keep us as entertained as we need to be for the moment!
There's not much else to me than that. I have a great family, wonderful inlaws, an awesome church family and the best friends in the world. I love playing Sims, scrapbooking, reading and trying to garden (I kill more than I actually grow).
Oh, and April 1st, I celebrated 1 year of not smoking!!! Yay!!!! Now I'm addicted to coffee and chocolate!! I'll work on those later.....much, much later.
I think I'm collecting avatars. It wasn't intentional at first, but what the hey...they make me giggle.
I've been listening to a lot of Bethany Dillon lately and I just fell in love with this song (Be Near Me). I hope it provides as much encouragement to everyone else as it has me!!
I follow all the rules
Well, at least I'm trying
Hoping when my days are through
You'll be pleased
I've lived the longest days
Thinking my heart was so bad
Too scared to look in your face
Oh, if only I had
And is it alright
If I stay here all night
By the shoreline
I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You've done nothing but have compassion on us
So be near me when I've given up
Be near me
I'm just like everyone else
We are all hiding
Acting like I have a wealth
Of knowledge and peace
But all I've ever wanted
And what men have given their lives for
Is a God who understands my weaknesses
A God that I can love
I believe you are good and righteous
You've given me your reckless love
So be near, be near me...
