I am:

A 27 year old proud Army wife, married to the most incredible man in the world and blessed to have the most amazing family, friends, and life that anyone could ask for.

Currently surviving my husbands deployment with 1st Cav Division Special Troops Batallion. HOOAH!

An animal lover and proud mama to two rescued dogs, a 3 year old lab/blue pitt mix named Connor Christopher and a year old red-nosed pitt named Maggie May.

A small, sarcastic, silly girl who thinks that life is just too wonderful most times.

A nanny to two of the most beautiful little girls that ever existed, ages 4 & 2, in my 9-5 job. I also do creative writing in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), currently with the following storylines: Matt & Jeff Hardy, The Legacy (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Teddy DiBiase Jr.), "Captain Charisma" Christian Cage, Evan Bourne, and the occasional other random story as it comes my way.

A little sister, big sister, granddaughter, cousin, niece, wife, and friend.

Always and eternally grateful.

My first musical love has always been and will always be Joey McIntyre of New Kids On The Block .. he started what would be a long, expensive road through Boybandville, which I still can't seem to escape. Besides boy bands, I can usually be found listening to Country music (the sappier the better), cheesy pop, or a good acoustic guitar song. Some of my favorite artists include Tyler Hilton, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Matchbox Twenty/Rob Thomas, Dave Matthews Band, Westlife, NSync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees/Nick Lachey, Robbie Williams, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Josh Gracin, and obviously, NKOTB/Joe Mac.

My favorite song EVER is "Remember Me This Way" by Jordan Hill (from the movie Casper). If you're curious about what I'm listening to now, there's a list below that will be updated randomly.

I am pretty much obsessed with reading .. give me a good book and I will not put it down until I finish it. With that said, if a book doesn't pull me in within the first chapter, I cannot force myself to read it no matter how much my life, or grade, may have depended on it. My favorite book ever is To Kill A Mockingbird, followed closely by The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, From The Corner of His Eye, The Nanny Diaries, anything by Jodi Picoult or Jennifer Weiner, and like every other 20-something female on the planet, the Harry Potter & Twilight series.

Most recently read: Lock & Key by Sarah Dessen

Currently reading: Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury

Any and every Disney movie ever created, even the weird one about the cycle of menstruation ..

Ok I'm kidding about that last one. But seriously, Disney = Love. My favorite Disney characters are Wall-E and Eve, Stitch, Lumpy the Heffalump, Christopher Robin, and Kanga and Roo, and any of the characters from "Meet The Robinsons". As far as the Princesses go, I'm a Snow White and Belle girl.

However, my all time favorite movie is "What Dreams May Come", because it took exactly what I believe happens in the afterlife and made it into a hauntingly beautiful movie that still wrecks me for a good hour after viewing, no matter how many times I see it.

I also love The Notebook, all the Harry Potter movies, Twilight (obv.), Hackers, Boondock Saints, Clerks 2, Voices of a Distant Star, and I spent my entire High School career obsessing over Empire Records.

Supernatural, One Tree Hill, How I Met Your Mother, The IT Crowd, Big Bang Theory, American Idol, and whatever else can randomly hold my interest for 30-60 minutes at any given moment.

Also a certain company that has shows Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and one Sunday a month, because you know ... you know. ;)

Digital Scrapbooking, Scrapbooking, Crocheting, Amigurumi, basic Knitting, Hybrid Scrapping, Stenciling .. I'd love to learn how to sew and jewelry making, but alas, my roommate (who can do both) is lazy and won't teach me :P

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world." — Marianne Williamson

"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy." — Anne Frank

"A person's a person, no matter how small." — Dr. Seuss

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." — C.S. Lewis

"So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains." — Dr. Seuss

"If you can't make it better, you can laugh at it." — Erma Bombeck
