“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” – E. E. Cummings

About Me


"The happiest people don't have it all, they make the best of what they've got!" I'm a fun-loving girl from South Louisiana coexisting with the craziness of Las Vegas with my wonderful husband, Anthony, and our adorable son, Aidan. Anthony grew up in Toledo, OH and graduated from Bowsher High then Bowling Green State University. He is a soccer fanatic, and can't wait for the day that Aidan can play! He hopes to coach Aidan's team one day. We will be moving to the Houston area in June, and are really excited that we will be closer to friends and family in Louisiana. We love spending our time outdoors and enjoying the natural beauty around us. "The Office" is the best show that NBC could have ever produced. Even though it has alot of reruns, rest assured you'll find us on Thursday nights glued to the TV. We enjoy spending quality time together, watching sports, dancing, reading, and meaningful conversation over an ice cold beer on a warm summer evening. Throughout the years, we've done quite a bit of traveling. So far, I've had the pleasure of experiencing Milan, Florence, Rome (without Tony), Jamaica, Cozumel, The Cayman Islands, Cabo San Lucas, San Diego, and L.A. (with Tony). We've also traveled somewhat extensively within the continental U.S. as individuals. We have yet to indulge ourselves in France, Ireland, Egypt, Tahiti, England, and Australia. Our faith in Christ is what keeps us going everyday, and is the influence of how we try to live our lives. We pray that everyday we live our lives according to His Divine and Precious Will for our family. Anything else you want to know about us, just ask. Ciao!
