Anthropomorphic. It's all yours, big guy.

About Me

Walking Contradiction. Originally from Chattanooga Tennessee, grew up in Texas. Got married to the handsome Bently Durant July 20th, 2002 and traveled all over the world together for a month. Love to travel, have been all over England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, France, British West Indies, Hawaii, Mexico, Holland, Amsterdam, Bora Bora, All the Tahitian Islands, among other places. Have been to New York twice and I think it is the most amazing, energetic city. Everytime I go, I leave a piece of my heart in Central Park at Poets Walk.My hubby and I love to adventure. We got married young, but have already gotten to do so much! Safari, Hiking in the Norweigian mountains, Swimming with Sharks!!!! Accidentally tried to ski down a red diamond in Colorado, made it out alive. I am currently working on getting my real estate license so I can sell MILLION dollar homes and drive a Lambourgini Diablo, which I will have to hide from my dad-in-law. Have two beagles and an african grey named Smokey. Unknowingly taught him....errrr her, how to curse, among other things.I love to hang out with friends and family. Let's see, I got fat after highschool, but am now almost back down to fighting weight;-)30 pounds and still going. Hooray!
