About Me

I'm the coolest person you'll ever come across so you might as well stop here and take a load off.
My sweet kitty Gracie is a rockstar. I LOVE being a therapist. I LOVE my friends and I LOVE my family. I LOVE working with kids. I drive fast and feel the world would be better off if everyone was mandated to certify in driver's ed taught by me. I quote movies in my general conversation and pass them off as my own, unless, someone recognizes the quote(s), which, incidentally, earns that someone a significant amount of cool points.
Don't be fooled. While I may be sweet and oh-so-silly, I am no pushover and I'm not easily won over by charming, delicate words. I'm keen enough to know when something isn't what it claims to be, I just may never let on that I know. I love and enjoy all types of people but I have a low tolerance for insincerity.
The most important part of me is that I love God. I want nothing more than to be close to God in mind, body and spirit.
Now, pour me a glass of merlot and tell me about the rabbits, George.
