Life is what happens while you’re waiting for the next thing…

Faith and Family are everything…

If you came for excitement and glamour, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’ve come for real, raw, and pretty much unfiltered, you’ve come to the right place. As a mom of three and mom to a kid with special needs, I don’t have time for fancy or polished.

My faith has gotten me through many difficult and sad times in my life, so don’t be surprised if I write frequently about it. What began as a fitness blog has become an extension of my life.

10 Things About Me:

1. I have three children, but I am an only child. I never expected to have more than one…maybe two. But we are blessed.
2. I thought I was going to be a music major in college and perform in an orchestra when I was growing up.
3. I met my husband because I lived with his ex-girlfriend. (Stay tuned for a story in the future.)
4. My husband and I eloped! We’ve been married since February of 2004. (I’ll share that story as well.)
5. I spent most of our married life with him in the military. He retired in November of 2021. Retired life is good.
6. Our oldest child, Jac, has special needs. We were not prepared for her birth…also, another story.
7. In 2017, I started practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I love it! I now teach it at the gym I started at. Our who family trains there.
8. I’m an introvert. I don’t like being in front of other people. I don’t like yelling, but I do the exact opposite when I’m teaching classes.
9. I’ve always wanted to travel the world, but the closest thing I’ve done is a cruise to Jamaica and Grand Cayman. (My husband did all the traveling with the Army, and I stayed behind.)
10. I love to cook and have people come to our home. Home is where I’m happiest. While I do want to travel, I always want to come home where I’m comfortable.
