My stepson, Caleb, is amazing. He's the most intelligent boy I've ever met his age. And he's sooo cute. I love him so much. Step-parent or not, that's my kid as well. I currently am not allowed to see him,and I miss him like crazy... but eventually I'll be able to hug him again. I love you Caleb!

A little more about me!!!

I lost my first child, Tyler Matthew, when I was 17. In a way it was a good thing because I really had no way to take care of him, and his father was not a good influence on my life and the loss made me see that. My miscarriage was a loss, but I came out of it stronger, and I know Shayli's brother is watching over me and will be watching over her until we meet him one day.

I'm pro-life. I only agree in abortion if the woman was seriously raped (and I only agree in that situation if it's done before 6 weeks). Otherwise, I believe that just because you weren't trying to get pregnant doesn't mean you weren't trying NOT to. Meaning you could have prevented it. So in my opinion sleep in the bed you made, or have the balls to give the child to a couple who will actually do for it what you aren't willing or are unable to do.

I'm pro-GLBT relationships. I'm pro-love and I will support it in any form. Saying a male can't marry a male is just as predjudice as saying a black person can't marry a white person. LOVE IS LOVE! I am Christian, however I don't find it to be wrong. If it is however, LET GOD JUDGE THEM. You are not God, so don't point fingers. If you are God, then it's nice to meet you and I know in my heart that I still have a place with you in Heaven despite my views on this subject.

I love movies. Any genre, any kind. I'm a big Disney fan and Tinkerbell is my idol. I will always be a disney princess.

I READ ALOT! My favorite author is Christopher Pike. I love Ann Rule, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and many others. I AM ONE OF THOSE TWILIGHT PEOPLE! I also love trashy romance novels and anything involving vampires (no matter how they are perceived).

MUSIC is my life. I live by it. I quote it, I sing it, I dance to it, I play it, it's my world. I do not have a favorite band or song because there are too many. I will listen to everything at least once. EXCEPT RAP. A person talking over a strong bass beat is NOT music. It's alot of loud booms that give me a headache and a person TALKING (not singing) so fast and slurred that I can't understand him/her. I do enjoy some rap occasionally, and I love my R&B. However, most rap is pointless nonsense to me. And I do not find any rap to be music.

I STRONGLY support our troops. I was there before my husband joined the army, and I will be there after. I have stood behind him the whole way. I believe any military wife who has cheated should be forced to deploy and have her husband cheat on her so she can understand how he feels. When we marry military we make a pact to uphold the same basic principles as them and more people need to realize that. Behaving like a fucking whore while he's gone because you're lonely is NOT agreed on in your wedding vows, and I KNOW God does not accept it. I believe that there is not a soldier on this planet who goes through what his or his buddy's wife will go through. It's harder on us, and most soldiers I know agree with me on this, including my husband.







Rest in peace sweet angel. One day we will all see you again.
(For those of you wondering Amari is not my angel, her mother is a BG member and good friend of mine.)
