About Me

  • About Me: I am an Arkansas girl living in Tennessee with the love of my life and husband, a former Air Force Captain turned business man, and the mom of Jack, Molly and Riah, the 3 most gorgeous children ever! My family pretty much consumes my life right now, but God has been faithful to give me all that I need daily. I work part time as a personal trainer, which is something I LOVE doing! In the little spare time that I have, I like to read, write (on this blog), sew, paint, and sing.
