About Me

I'm loving, caring, compassionate about my beliefs, love the Lord, talk to much, love to laugh, gentle, spiritual, have no problems making my feelings known, pro-life, love pink, love to dance and shop. Love to garden, both vegetable and flower and working out in our yard. I love PEPSI to an addiction, Keith's homemade pizza, Carl's icecream, sweet tea on a hot summer night sitting on my porch, cherry pie, kitchen kooked potato chips, broiled catfish from Gils and any dessert Amy wants to bring me! I've been married for 27 years to my HS sweetheart. He is my rock, I couldn't have come this far without him. I have 3 wonderful kids, Amber 26, Kyle 23, and Brianne 21 and a son-in-law Darin 27 and daughter-in-law Lillian 23 and 2 absolutely beautiful granddaughters. They have just been an absolute blessing. To hear that second generation cry when they are born is just incredible, gave me goosebumps and all you Grandparents out there know exactly what I'm talking about! My God is my everything and couldn't get through life without him. I'm a true Patriot of my country, a staunch Republican Traditionalist and Culture Warrior. I love a good friendly debate!! I've been a stay at home mom for 23 years and really don't know any thing more I would want. I know that's what God meant for me to do. I have maternal instinct flowing over. Our youngest daughter is living at home and finishing up college. My family is everything to me! A little secret about me, I have a potty mouth and just can't seem to get a handle on it and I'm a deep down rocker chic of the 70's! I have Fibromyalgia and would love to hear from you all so we can support each other with this very dibilitating condition. I'm not going to let this disability get me down. Even though physically I'm not the same bubbly Karen of old, I'm going to live life to the fullest. I've decided to not sweat the small stuff, laugh until it hurts and don't let this get me down. No matter how much pain I know I may be in after doing something, I'm going to do it anyway. Live, Live, Live! And I have the faith knowing that the Bible tells me, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength! Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, AND fulfill it.
MY SWEET JEANIE, MISS YOU EVERYDAY 3/23/62 ~ 10/26/79
I have come To realize That time is so dear When you are no Longer here I cling to memories, Sweet bitter memories That brings you near If only I can touch you again Without bringing back the pain Feeling your presence That you are not really Very far away That would bring back The joy and magic Of being again Together I know you are Just a whisper away...
