About Me

  • About Me: First of all, I am privileged to be the wife of a wonderful man and the mother of our son. I am also a creative person who enjoys anything artistic and anything that speaks to our God-given desire for beauty. I am also a romantic person who enjoys dramatics, dance, music and anything that requires enthusiasm or expression. This is one reason why I like public speaking, public reading, and teaching. I thoroughly enjoy deep, heart-to-heart conversations and a good challenge. I love to make people laugh. I like scrap booking, photography, cooking, painting, drawing, and writing. I get a thrill out of finding name brands or expensive items for low prices. I like working on any project that calls me to creativity; whether it’s refinishing a room,cooking a nice meal, or framing a picture. I also enjoy seeing new places.
