About Me:

I am married to a firefighter and enjoy my career with 911. Seth & I like working out, going to the beach, photography and enjoying our days off together with family and loved ones. I spoil my 3 beautiful neices every chance I get. I'm currently taking classes thru JSU online to obtain my degree in Emergency Mgmt and Telecommunications. I'm a pushover for a good mystery/spy thriller- especially Vince Flynn or Catherine Coulter (FBI series) novels. I also like crime dramas and mysteries (Law & Order series, The Closer, Burn Notice, Rescue Me, X-Files, etc...) or comedies. -- and yes- i take GREAT pleasure in paging my husband out all cheerful and happy at 2 & 3 am!! (I'm horrible, i know =) ) All in all, we're from the country who are easy going & laid back who believe in the 3 basics God, Family & Country.
