Love is a never-ending feeling.

About Me

I'm just a simple, country, hometown girl.

I love my husband more than words can say.

I'm really laid back & like to have a good time.

I'm not a morning person.

But caffeine helps. A LOT.

My dog, Sadie, is my child.

When life hands me lemons, I try like hell to make some really awesome lemonade.

My parents are the coolest.

When you have a friend in me, it's for life.

My favorite color is purple.

I'm a liberal Republican.

Spring & Fall are my favorite seasons.

Angry, beligerent drunks make me want to vomit.

I don't think I could live without chocolate.

Sitting outside & watching a thunderstorm helps calm me.

I can't watch "The Price is Right" since The Bob retired.

I'm in a love/hate realtionship with reality TV shows.
