Hi All! I'm the newest addition to the "Gobulous Hottie Bloggers" I'm honored to be among such wild, courageous, strong, beauitful, and inspiring women! Give all of yourselves a big pat on the back for me!
As for me, I'm 28 from Elizabethton, Tennessee. I've lived in the South all of my life, and couldn't imagine living anywhere else! I married a wonderful man, Chris, on December 31st, of 2002, and have been living happily ever after. Well, for the most part. We ALL know there are many bumps in the road on the way to happiness, and I didn't just hit, I FELL into one of those this year.
For those who didn't know, my husband's company went on strike on May 15th of this year. If nothing else, this strike has taught me how strong I am. I'm a much stronger person than I ever realized I was. The strike ended on wednesday. Chris should be returning to work within the next couple of weeks, and *Thank God* I'll have health insurance again.
In 2003, I was diagnosed with PCOS/IRS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome with Insulin Resistance Syndrome), a disease I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I won't bore you with my health stories, let's just put it this way, I haven't actually felt like a human until this year. God bless Dr. Brenda Crowder, she's the one who found my PCOS/IRS, and cared enough to treat me. Because of her never giving up, we now have it under control. If you, or someone you know is overweight/excessive weightgain (and honestly don't know why), have irregular periods, infertility, fatigue, depression, excessive hair growth (on face or body), skin tags, or gastro/intestinal upset- please talk to your doctor about PCOS/IRS- don't wait until you end up like me.
I've been a life-long member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, in Elizabethton, and I currently teach/lead our youth group. The running joke is, "I'm warping America one Sunday School at a time!" Although I am a Christian, I don't force my beliefs on anyone. I respect ALL religions.
I have a precious, 40lbs cat named Morris who is my world. He's big and orange, and TOTALLY spoiled rotten. Speaking of spoiled rotten- I have two Godsons, Caleb, and Luke, who are my heart.
I am a member of the Haunt Masters Club, of Eastern Tennessee (www.hauntmastersclub.com) We do paranormal investigations anywhere in the East Tn/Southwest Va areas, free of charge. We're a very diverse group, but can all come together for a common purpose.
In my spare time, (after all of these activities), I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, pageants, photography, nature, animals, hiking, swimming, blogging, writing, and of course, sleeping! ;0)
Now you've got a little bit of info about me! My life is an open book, there's pretty much nothing I won't tell you, so please, ask questions if you have any! I look forward to getting to know all of you!
