About Me


Make your own layout for myspace or myspace backgrounds at pYzam.com !
I am just a girl in love with a guy. We met four years ago and have been married for three. We have three four legged kids (two dachshunds and a cat) and look forward to one day having some of the two legged variety. I'm quite domesticated. I enjoy doing things like cooking and sewing. I love to travel and especially enjoy doing so on large cruise ships. Football is by far my favorite sport. My teams are Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans. I follow the Big Ten conference in college, especially the Wisconsin Badgers. I am a displaced cheesehead. Beer brats and cheese curds make a perfect meal! I grew up in Money magazine's number one place to live in the nation for 2007. I have a degree in music education but spend my days writing financial databases. I have been told I am random and goofy. Green tea is my favorite drink. I enjoy finding good deals on anything and everything. I am active with Southern States Dachshund Rescue. If you are interested in a cute pup, check out their website www.ssdr.org I like to go out and have some fun on the town. I also like spending time relaxing on the amazing deck my husband built. I'm attempting to grow herbs. I'm needing to get back to work, but check back, I may find other random Shelly facts to add later...

Live Courageously

Today as I was driving, I encountered something that made me think of this devotional I recently received.    Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm...

Blah

I'm on my second day of being sick.  For me to take two days off in a row for sick time is huge.  From what people have told me, it seems I have some sort of flu bug.  I sure hope this ...
