About Me

I love: my hubby, dancing like an idiot, laying down on freshly washed sheets at the end of a long day, Sunday naps, people playing with my hair, organizing anything at all, listening to a piano player, Opryland Hotel at Christmas, stick bugs and praying mantis bugs, the very first snow, cashmere clothes, laying out in the sun on a hot day, freshly cleaned cars, the smell of breakfast when it lingers in the house, squirrels, looking at my wedding pictures over and over again, when my brother lets me beat him up, surprises, French vanilla cappuchino, journaling, singing as loud as I can, dancing in the kitchen while I cook, hats, pretty pajamas, authentic Louis Vuitton, baby animals (ANY baby animal), picking out shapes in clouds, ferris wheels, boiled peanuts, laughing until my cheeks hurt, my new house, kind eyes, black boots, Southern accents, the smell of freshly cut grass, beautiful music, the Christmas season: the smell of trees, the lights, hosting Christmas Eve at my home, beautiful wrapping paper, Christmas movies, Christmas music, toile, sappy love stories, poetry, pink roses, the smell of rain, my nanie's potato salad, dreaming of my future children, all my friends, black and white photographs, laying on the couch w/my Josh and Huck, shooting stars, Italian food, Tuscany themed decoration, diamonds, Ruth's Chris steak, kissing the corner of Josh's smile, Hollister clothes, Kate Spade purses, taking pictures, holding hands, kisses on the nose, people who give freely of themselves, kissing in the rain, a beautiful piece of art, flip-flops, a good pedicure, wisteria, being with someone who knows what I'm thinking, Nissan cars, Ben and Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie ice cream, my daddy's hugs, sexy underwear under a really conservative outfit, Gap jeans, Old Navy skirts, picnics, Outback's Walaby Darned, great parties, Tiffany's jewelry, stained glass windows in a church, making people smile, red and yellow leaves in the fall, Riesling, polka dots, copper cookware, kiwi, bubble baths, really REALLY hot showers, snow, wearing ugly snow boots even though it doesn't snow in Tennessee, how smart glasses make me look, trick-or-treaters on Halloween, baking with my Pampered Chef stuff, fruit spritzers, cuddling under a blanket with a good book, wholesome TV shows, babies laughing, and Josh's dimples! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

Cooking, reading, journaling...Josh :)The list goes on and on

I'd like to meet:

People who are real and sincere. People of strong faith. People who aren't afraid to be themselves and stand up for what they believe in.

Music:

Otis Redding, David Gray, Sister Hazel, Bon Jovi, Josh Groban, Tony Bennett, Norah Jones, Toby Keith, Marvin Gaye, Heart, Pat Benetar, Frank Sinatra, Aerosmith, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Sugarland, Warrant, Graham Hannan, Rita Springer, Natalie Grant, Barlow Girl, Matthew West, The Corrs, Hinder, Nickleback, Little Big Town, Montgomery Gentry, Kelly Clarkson, Etta James....obviously I'm diverse. Anything but rap I generally like.

Movies:

I'm a sucker for sappy romance movies. Especially the really old ones like Breakfast At Tiffany's (which happens to be an all time favorite) My husband has me hooked on stupid movies, too. Anything Chris Farley or Adam Sandler

Television:

24, Prison Break, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, October Road, all reality TV

Books:

Love romance books!! Not the trashy ones, but just the good ole' love stories. Also really like Art books. And cookbooks-OMG i LOVE those!!

Heroes:

My younger brother Michael!!! He is definately a hero-he served in the Marines for four years and traveled to Iraq three times. His ability to put away any fear and pain he faces and push through challenges on a regular basis truly inspires me.
