Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared. ~Eddie Rick

About Me

"If only it were so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being"--Solzhenitsyn**************************************** *********************************************I am a simple girl from the best state in the continental US. I am a lover and a fighter. I grew up in a small community that is a great place to raise a family. I am wrapped around the fingers of my two small children. I have a great family that supports us- three sisters (one brother-in-law, niece and nephew), a brother (& his adorable girlfriend!) and the best parents and grandparents I could imagine- plus the Gilson clan who are family by default. In addition, I have a stepson and a stepdaughter, my stepdaughter has two children that light up my life- I am a grandma? -what?! The variety and abundance of people make everyday a complicated treasure. We all take care of each other! I am blessed.

My Interests

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has enough conviction to share their ideas and stand behind them- I love learning about people, I love hearing about their experiences and how they handled them. ************************************************************ ************************************************ "Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing." --Philippians 2:15-16

Music:

Everything- love to rewind and rock out eighties style, sing along to every country song on the radio, and even turn Eminem up and drive too fast- but not with the kids in the car.

Movies:

The Man Without a Face- I totally understood that kid, Thelma & Louise- everytime I see Brad Pitt say 'I like your wife' I lose it, Reservoir Dogs, With Honors, Happy Gilmore, We Were Soldiers, Finding Nemo, Threesome, Across the Tracks, Alladin- I am not sure that any of these have changed my life but I really only watch them for entertainment!

Television:

The Daily Show, Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Rescue Me, Grey's Anatomy, House, LOST.

Books:

I love to read just about anything but ration the books during school because I never get homework done if I get into a great book- I don't sleep until I finish it!

Heroes:

My grandparents, my parents- my Mom, Stepdad, Dad, and Stepmom have all worked really hard to contribute to my life, and they are top notch grandparents to my children. I find inspiration in my sisters and my brother- they do heroic things everyday and I am so proud of them. My kids are heroes too, I really try to make good choices and be a good parent and stepparent, but sometimes I fail- I am still learning.
