About Me


Get Myspace Layouts @ CodeMyLayout.com
{Hosting My name is Amanda and I am a Biology Teacher at Lee High School in Montgomery, Alabama. I am happily married with four kids: my two boys, Tristen who is six and Dalton who is three; my newborn daughter, Isabella Kenslee; and my beautiful neice, Heather, who is 17. My life right now is one gigantic jugling act--trying to get my kids to different places in the mornings and then spending time with them in the evenings, however, it is tremendously satisfying. My main goal in life right now is to make sure my family is healthy and happy, that my children grow up knowing the Lord and having a relationship with Him, and that they all grow up to be educated, respectful adults. It would also be nice to get to go to the gym now and then, but between school, work, gymnastics, church, dinner time, devotional time, study time and reading time Oh yeah--I am also about to get my real estate license--I am wishing that there were more hours in the day. Maybe if I stopped sleeping??? Oh well, I can only do so much. I try to check in here now and then--so dont be mad if I dont reply to comments right away--I will get back to you eventually!! I love hearing from all of my old friends from Lee--Here are some pics from "back in the day!"

My Interests

I love to go out with my friends and spend time with my kids. I also like hunting, fishing and archery--I guess I am an outdoorsy kind of girl. I also love to shop--though I rarely get to because of my husband "the budget nazi." I am working on getting my real estate license--I am always trying to come up with ways to make more money (so I can shop more :)!)Below are pics of my Favorite People--My Family!! I also have my own little side business doing flowers--below are pics of some of my work. If you know anyone having a special event and needs a florist, message me and I'll get you my contact info--Thanks!

Music:

I like almost everything except hard core rap music! I love 80's music! Sometimes I listen to country--sometimes I listen to pop. Sweet Child O' Mine Add a video to your site Webratsmusic.comTake the quiz:

Movies:

All I ever get to watch with my family are movies that have some kind of weapon in them--like guns, swords, bows and arrows etc. All my boys love violence! Heather and I sneak a funny or romantic movie sometimes when we are lucky. I am really excited about having a little girl now--maybe Ill get to start watching some girly movies!

Television:

I am so busy with school that I hardly get to watch T.V. When I do, I like to watch the Food Network and TLC. My new favorite channel is E! I have never really cared much about the lives of stars--but they make my life seem so much more normal and happy--I may not have all the money that they do, but I have many things that are much much more important than money.

Books:

I never have time to read anymore--when I do read it is either Harry Potter (huge fanatic) or a murder-mystery type book. I am really hoping that JK Rowling's new book is going to be as good as the Harry Potter books--I am really sad that the last one has come and gone.

Heroes:

My dad has always been my hero because he always worked hard for his family and treated my mom like she was a goddess. It is hard to find a man like him nowadays. Thank God I have come very close--my husband is turning out to be the best friend I could ever have--It took me a while to train him, but he really is a wonderful husband and father. I am so blessed!
