About Me

God wasn't playin around when he created the most amazing man for me and brought him into my life. check out my blog titled "the beginning" to read our story.

Wedding Pictures!! From one (of 3) photographer's vantage point...more to come!

QUICK WEDDING PROPS GO TO: Sarah Hall - Photography; Elizabeth Beach - Reception Photography; Alicia Brocker (Identity Salon Kenwood) - Hair for all my girls to fit the theme; Makenna Jones - NAO Cosmetics Colors and Looks (the makeup); Folchi's Formal Wear; David's Bridal; Mt. Echo Pavilion & their Park Police for kicking out the other bridal party that was trying to take pictures in MY PARK during MY WEDDING DAY!! LOL Ryan Lehmkuhl of CincyDJ Entertainment for the ceremony music.
To ALL the members of our bridal party for being a part of our special day, and most of all... MY PARENTS! Specifically, my mom of Terri's Catering & Pennington Family Farm, for practically doing the ENTIRE wedding herself: the flowers, the decor, the catering, the cake.... she's AMAZING!

My Interests

i find myself interested in a lot of things, on a daily basis. i have a very curious personality. i'm most interested in people, i guess, and how they act, react, interact, etc. My business is a people business, so i'm constantly studying.
as a side note, however, i am really into photography, i love writing and painting. and my jack russell terrior, Boston. :)

I'd like to meet:

As many people in as many places as possible - i'm ALWAYS travelling - it's good to have a friend off every interstate exit!

Music:

i find myself especially connected to, and emotionally stirred by music, i like to think on a deeper level than other people. but, i assume that we all feel the same urge to break into tears when our favorite love song plays, or are ready to conquer the world after playing our most favorite motivational album, or the techno music that pumps our blood and causes us to drive (just a little bit) faster on the freeway, or the broadway musical recordings that make us want to belt their words at the top of our lungs, or the soft, steady tempos of Beethovens nine symphony that makes us want to make love through the ovature. Or......IS that just me??

Movies:

i'm a movie freak!! no, really. quiz me. i betcha i win. i have entirely TOO many favorites to name. but, i can talk movies all night long!!

Television:

strange as it may be to the general public....i do NOT watch tv. nope. not at all. I find it to be a terrible waste of excellently productive time.

Books:

i am reading AAAALLLL the time! i've found that it is one of the best ways for personal growth, becuase when you start reading you really start to open yourself up and tear into all your imperfections, that's really when you can start to change for the better. and you can do it all in the privacy of your own mind.
I like to read more than one book at a time also. keeps me from getting bored. i'll read a chapter a day from two or three different books. i could give you an overwhelming list of excellent books i've read, but, for space-saving's sake, i'll just let you know currently i'm reading: The Bible (that's a constant), "SPIN Selling", "Love Life for Every Married Couple", and "The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands", By: Dr. Laura.

Heroes:

i have plenty of heroes in my life. Military men & women who are willing to sacrifice their life for me and things they believe in, a president who stands up for what's right no matter what the critics say, a savior who literally gave his own life so that i can have mine....
WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO MY HEROES ARE....
more than ever, i really admire my parents...for a lot of the same reasons i used to despise them (ha, aren't teenagers funny?!!)
lastly, i look up to the mentors that are a part of my business team. because they model for me positive aspects of ALL areas of life. everything from their obvious monetary success and personal freedom, but, also in their marraiges, they child-rearing, their spiritual walks.....everything!
