I’m a happily-married 29-year-old woman.

I love my husband, my daughter, my family, my job, and taking pictures.

I’ve learned a lot this year about neonatology, miracles, and what it means to be a mom.

I was raised in Texas, so I love TexMex and barbeque (more than I should).

I’m excessively fond of Jane Austen.

I abhor all condiments (mayo, ketchup, mustard).  I really only like ranch dressing; I’ll use it as a dipping sauce for chicken, put in on my hamburgers, and of course, use it for vegetables.

I love Chick-Fil-A.  They validate my disdain for pickles with their orange sticker.

George is my favorite Beatle.

I have a hard time coming up with creative dinner ideas.  I look at cookbooks and most recipes are still more work than I’m willing to do.  My favorite resource is a church cookbook from 15 years ago.  Real food made by real people.

My feet are usually cold, regardless of socks and/or shoes.

I was a teacher for four years.  I miss students and buying scads of children’s literature at the bookstore.  I don’t miss a lot of things about teaching, mainly never being completely finished with work.

I love to wrap gifts, and I’ll even say that I’m really good at it.

We love movies, and add DVDs to our collection often.  Thank goodness for Netflix!

My husband is a barbershopper.  I know more about pitchpipes, tags, polecats, and ringing chords than I should. 

I’ll continue to update this page as I think of things you need to know about me.
