About Me


- Get Your Own
Me - I have a degree in music; taught by the same professors who taught Rich Mullins. I teach preschool music classes and piano and voice lessons. I try to live my life every day to bring glory to God and to further His kingdom. I'm a girlie girl and a lip gloss junkie. I've been told I'm hard to figure out and I like it that way. Ice cream is my stress food of choice. I've lived in three states and I'm not stopping there. I am proud to say I personally know every single one of my "friends". I prefer White Chocolate over any other. The most beautiful thing to me is a city skyline at night and I plan on visiting France before I die.My Family - I have an incredible husband whom I've been married to for two and a half years. Matt's made my life a fairy tale!~Two wonderful parents whom I'm very proud of because they've been married for 27 years!~One younger brother, Seth, who is one of the most charming people you'll ever meet. His beautiful girlfriend, Mary Katherine, is so sweet and I can't wait 'til the day when I can call her my "sister".~Two marvelous in-laws; I couldn't imagine not having them in my life.~A brilliant sister-in-law, Kristen, who works in corporate America and her new husband, Mark, who keeps secrets for the government!~One 9 year old brother-in-law, Noah, who is a terrific hockey player.~A blond hair, blue-eyed 7 year old sister-in-law, Alyssa, who is becoming passionate about music.~And last but not least, my cute-as-a-button sister-in-law, Sierra, who is one smart 5 year old!~I also have four "honorary" nephews (Grady, Garrett, Eli and Matthew) who are adorable and I love visiting with them!My Best Friends - My "Diva" group (Bonnie, Ellie, Amanda, and Alicia) who keep me sane. I thrive on our meetings.~Kristie and Robin - Two of the most loyal people you'll ever meet. They're a riot to be around and always ready to give me a reality check.~Monica - My twin. One the best friends I have ever had.~Grace - We fight, we argue, we can't live without each other. She's the sister I always wanted.

My Interests

Shopping, performing, going to the spa, more shopping, Beauti Control, musicals, the High Museum, going to the Fox Theater, Cirque Du Soleil, Shakespeare Tavern, painting pottery and always spending time with my husband and my "Diva" group. I collect 'The Little Mermaid' stuff and I am obsessed with Paris, the Eiffel Tower and anything French! I enjoy watching cartoons; they are relaxing to me and they bring me back to a carefree childhood. I also love cats but I can't have one because my husband is deathly allergic. (Sniff, I miss Cody). Gotta have my Starbucks!!! Did I mention shopping?Online Status Icons
