About Me

Okay, I guess it is about time I update. I am the manager of a Quiznos Sub. There are days where I love it and days where I can't believe I took the job! I oversee pretty much every single aspect of the store. I have 14 great employees that work for me and yes sometimes I would like to strangle them but we work through it. I think I am a pretty straightforward person, though I'm sure my husband, Brandon, would disagree. Brandon and I have been married for over a year now ... yikes! Again there are days I love it and days where I can't believe we got married! Just joking Brandon. I feel like Brandon and I compliment each other. Brandon doesn't like to talk but boy you better watch out with me! Brandon is spontaneous where as I am a planner. There are more but I won't bore you! We bought our first house in May and have been slowly doing upgrades to it. I am loving it! It is the greatest feeling to own our own house and not have to rely on someone else to fix something. Kenzye, our puppy (hahaha), adjusted very well. Her favorite hang out is upstairs on the guest bed overlooking two windows. We don't need a doorbell with her around. My brother and sister-in-law had a baby boy about 4-5 months ago! He is so stinking cute! The name is Wyatt Thomas and boy do I love to spoil him! I beg Gabby to let me babysit!! I'm an organizational freak! There is a place for everything and you better put it back where you got it or you better watch out. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education that I am currently not using unless you consider that its being put to use when I watch Wyatt or manage my employees! I savor each and every day off that I get by lounging around the house doing NOTHING!!! I am a total homebody. I am perfectly content not leaving the house for days on end. You could say I'm boring and I would whole heartedly agree with you! I LOVE to read! Best feeling in the world is to go to the library and check out books or go to a bookstore and buy books or better yet have your sister in law, Krystal drop of a box of books! That's about it so consider yourself updated!

My Interests

Reading, spending time with family and friends, sitting, sleeping, eating, laughing, and working on personal projects. Personal projects include planning celebrations for loved ones, homemade gifts like a blanket, decorated picture or something else probably ugly! I like to look at home decorating magazines or do it yourself books to get inspired. I like art but can't draw or paint for the life of me. Can't wait to move into a house I can actually paint! The joy of renting! I like to look in cookbooks and think about cooking but then decide its too big of a mess! Talk about LAZY!! Hmmm ... can't think of anything else that really interests me at the moment. This may have to be a work in progress! Thought of another interest of mine, spoiling the people I love in my life. It gets me in trouble ... I'll see something at a store and if it makes me think of someone I love it is really hard for me to pass it up and not get it for them. I love how I feel when my family and friends randomly get me little things even a card.

I'd like to meet:

New friends ... people who can and will enrich my life for the better.

Music:


I don't really mind what music I listen to. If driving in my car I will usually have alternative on, but there are occasions where I like to listen to country or the oldies.Oh yeah, I LOVE Christmas music!!! Once Thanksgiving is over it's Christmas tunes on 24/7!!

Movies:

Pretty Woman, Grease, Miss Congeniality, The Wedding Planner, Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, Hope Floats, and almost any other romantic comedy! I'm sappy!

Television:

General Hospital was a favorite of mine, but I haven't watched it in a long while. I like all the home decorating shows that TLC and HGTV have. Other random shows that I watch or remember to DVR includes The Bachelor, Kid Nation, Private Practice, Dancing With the Stars, Project Runway, and Top Chef.

Books:

Nora Roberts is my favorite author ... she does a great job combining romance with mystery and thriller. If buying a book or checking them out from the library I will go with a romance novel. I'm a sucker for love! Other authors I read are Carly Phillips, Rachel Gibson, Sandra Brown, Jude Deveraux and any other books that may interest me or that my sister-in-law Krystal brings me!

Heroes:

Superman ... duh. And of course my parents and my hubby for putting up with all my moods!
