A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
These photos are of me and my wonderful husband, Jason.
These are our cats: Gigi, Pockets, and Zoe.
These are our dogs:
Loki, Bouncer (he only has three legs!), and Galen.
This is me with my mom and dad at my college graduation from
Valdosta State University.
Did you realize that your teachers were once kids too? These pictures are of me as a kid.
My family loves animals! This is me with a sleepy Zoe and me holding my parents HUGE cat Fuzzy.
My dad and I love rocks! He has a building full of rocks and uses them to make pendants, earrings, belt buckles, and more. We dig some of the rocks ourselves and trade people for others. We are both members of M.A.G.M.A.
My friends and I enjoy doing things together and being silly! This is a picture of us at Run or Dye, a color run in Atlanta, last year. As you ran the route, people threw powered colored dyes at you. It was a lot of fun! We also ran in Bubble Palooza in Gwinette!
This is my friend Vicky and I being silly when we were out shopping. She lives in New Mexico, so I don't get to see her very often, but we are still good friends.
I enjoy being outdoors. I have my own garden and love hiking with my family!
I also love history! I think we can learn a lot from the past. This is me at an Egypt exhibit.
Of course, I love spending time with my young family and friends! In this picture, I'm playing Clue with my niece Desi and nephew Gabe while my niece Erynn watches.
