Personal Stats: My son Timothy is 6ft. 8in. tall. <br/>We have a Dalmatian named Ranger. I am a BIG football fan.  I love to play fantasy football with the guys. I love Mexican and Southern food. Give me a plate of fried okra, a side of cornbread with black-eyed peas, with an iced tea and I’m a happy girl. I can't keep plants alive no matter how hard I try. I LOVE to play tennis!

Two Truths and a Lie:

  1. I won a talent show in which I sang, One Fine Day.
  2. I was interviewed by 20/20.
  3. I have tennis tournament first place singles trophies.

Wherever we are on our journey, we will take steps together to know and become like Jesus.
