So let\'s talk about YOU

Well, about me....

I have always been described as "an old soul." I don't hear that much anymore - probably because my body is catching up with my soul! LOL! I am a forty year old lady (for at least two more days.)

I love music of all kinds. It moves me! I love to dance, and I did so for most of my life. I retired 6 years ago to work full time with my husband.

Speaking of my husband, he is the most amazing man I know. We've been married for almost 13 years. He has given me his heart and taken mine. I love him more than even I can fathom, and I've been blessed to experience his love.

I am the mother of a 10 year old boy who keeps me in awe. He has the sweetest little spirit, and he makes my heart happy. He is so witty and funny (like his dad) and I love to hear the thoughts his mind comes up with. I have also been blessed to raise my 17 year old stepson for the last 7 years. He is an outstanding athlete and also shares his father's personality.

My life has been a hard one for sure. I've been plagued by tragedy for most of it, and spent a good deal of my life searching for happiness that was stolen from me from a very young age. I am blessed to have a Savior who has redeemed and restored me. I don't like to focus on the "bad" that I've experienced, but instead prefer to share the victories I've had. God has given me a gift of encouragement, and I have a heart for women and those who find themselves in circumstances that seem hopeless. Soon, I will begin speaking to women's groups to share what I've learned! (And I've begun to write my life story.)

There's a whole lot more....I'm very complex! But since I'm sure no one has a week or so to read my bio. I'll leave it there.

Oh, and I'm VERY happy to be on the Highway!

I've often wondered in my heart if I were meant to share my story, either to groups of women or in writing. Thanks for sharing part of yours. You've always inspired me and I admire you so!

When you write that story I want to be first in line to read it. I also want to know when you are ready to inspire others by speaking to women's groups. You are one of my favorite people and this just adds to my feelings about you. Thank you for sharing.

I'm 32, born & raised in Hiram, GA. I'll have been married to my highschool sweetheart 14 years this coming Valentines Day. We have 2 sons, ages 7 & 11 that we homeschool. I worked in law enforcement after highschool until I enlisted in the Army (11B-Infantry) in 2003. After basic I was stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas with the 1st Cavalry Division. I served two 15-month combat tours in Iraq, was wounded by an Improvised Explosive Device during my last tour and because of the injuries had to be medically retired from the Army instead of completeing a 20 year career as planned. i have since moved my family back to Hiram, GA where I have found a new calling as a youth minister at our church. We also have 2 dogs, an 18-month old Jack Chi and a 5 month old Meagle.
