I am here for Friends

About Me


I am a fun loving girl who recently became a mother and has finally decided on a direction for her life. So I'm back to school to get a Master's in Family Therapy. I won't be done with school until the year 2050 (or something like that) but at least I know where I want to be!
I am married - have been since 1998 - and love my life here in Denton. My husband Jerid and I own a home and have great fun, friends, and family in D-town. Life is good, great good. Our little Jilli is happy, too - now that she no longer has to ride in the 'stang. :)
We live for great meals (My new favorite is Kenny's Wood Fired Grill - YUMMO!, Fogo, Cafe Brazil, Babe's, Jerid & Cody's cooking), trips (Vegas, baby!, NYC, anywhere new), and adventure (Do you know where we're going?).
