About Me

I love laughing and don't do it near often enough (my own mother says I'm too serious sometimes), but the sauce packets at Taco Bell make me giggle, chuckle, and down right laugh out loud every single time. Every.
I love playing sports - in basketball I'm known as the cornerback, and when we play flag football, my friends bring pads. I'm a passionate person, and it's usually all or nothing. I watch Texas Tech football and always cheer for the Big XII. I've completed a bracket for March Madness for the past six years but am yet to win a pool. I've been known to spend Sunday afternoons with Phil, Tiger, Vijay, and Mr. Daly.
I grew up in a small town that is smaller than a square mile and has one blinking stop light, and I used to have a dog named Maggie. She now lives with my parents and they get confused and call me Maggie sometimes.
Jalapenos and Coca-Cola are to me as spinach is to Popeye, and I am a now a student again after 5 years out of the classroom.
God is supreme in my life and His sovereignty is my security, because we are living in the midst of the slow and painful degradation of society [end quote]. I recently went from working for millionaires to working for orphans, and every day in my office is a lesson in faith and action in prayer. Africa could be my second home, but the Taco Bell sauce packets haven't been exported just yet.
...and bookend.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nanny Fletcher, an icon in our family. Paul, to ask him if the thorn in my side is the same as his. Phil Mickelson, to politely ask for golf lessons. The President of Sudan, to ask him why he continues to starve his people.

Music:

If you can play it loud and drive fast with the sunroof open, it's a sure bet I own it. Oh yeah, I know this cool new band too.

Movies:

A Time to Kill, Shawshank Redemption, Dumb and Dumber, Pride and Prejudice, Empire Records, Parent Trap, Seven, When Harry Met Sally, Much Ado About Nothing, Annie.

Television:

Law & Order CI, Law & Order SVU, Law & Order (in that order), House, Magnum PI, Matlock, Extreme Home Makeovers (I cry every time!), any kind of sports on TV (esp NCAA football & basketball, PGA Golf, sometimes even Tennis)

Books:

Anything by Brennan Manning and Francine Rivers. Something that piques my intellectual needs and satisfies my soul's desires. Love stories if they're not sappy, fiction if it's not beyond unrealistic, and non-fiction if it's written in story form.

Heroes:

I am (and have been) surrounded by incredible women of God: Babboo, my mother, my grandmothers Mom & Mimi, Sally Miller, Angie Clawson, Debbie Atteberry. And I don't know if she's a woman of God, but my childhood hero was Mary Lou Retton.
