I am a work in progress...

About Me

I grew up in Sikeston, MO and now reside in the thriving metropolis of Ozark, MO (outside of Springfield). I moved from one Lamberts capital to another. I went to Central Bible College in 1998 and graduted in 2002 with a BA in Administration of Christian Education. Since then I have been trying to decide what to do with my life so have stuck around this area. In the mean time, I work as a Customer service representative. I spend my day making grumpy people happy. :o) I also work part time at Evangel Temple Christian Center in Springfield. (www.etchurch.org). I have a passion for ministry and serving God through the church. When I'm not working at one of those jobs I'm hanging out with kids either babysitting (my other job) or at church. I love little kids and enjoy being with them as much as possible. I am a people person and love to hang out with friends and family. I love to have fun and I love laughing and making people laugh. I know how to have a great time and enjoy life without the need for alcohol!I am also a huge animal lover... to be more exact, I am a cat person! My goal is to be the old cat lady. (j/k). I am the proud "mamma" of two "boys." Sammy is a four year old Maine Coon who weighs around 13 pounds and looks much larger because of his fur. Braxton is my 2 year old "baby" and is a blue/gray domestic short hair.I think that about sums it up..haha...so if you have any other questions, just ask... retro layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments
