I am here for Friends

About Me


I just graduated from the Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography program at John A. Logan. I am working at Heartland as an echo tech. I married my husband, Jeremy, in 2003. We live in West Frankfort in a little house that we are fixing up. We have a bassett hound named Penny. She is our baby. Lately the crafty gene I inherited from my mom has been surfacing. I love to knit and am a complete yarn snob. I also just got a sewing machine and am looking forward to learning what to do with it. I can also bake a mean apple with gruyere pie. I am trying to keep my life as simple as possible and like it that way!
