MTFW Day One-Me!

Welcome to Day One of MTFW (Meet The Family Week) here at Country Roads!  Even though most of you know me fairly well by now..I figured I'd start with myself anyways since its my blog after all!  Who knows, maybe you'll learn something new about me!  I promise to try to make this a "fun" post and not a long, boring story of my life!

(YES..this is me!  More pictures below..I was a cutie..hehe!)

Here are some tidbits about me you may (or may not have) already known!

• I grew up with ALOT of animals..I'm talking not just cats and dogs, but chickens, pigs, and even one time..a goat!

• My 'first' cat was named Babe and (no joking) she came to us by way of a train!  Yup..she hitchhiked on a train..got off at our house..and there she stayed!  Don't laugh (I can hear yall over there!)..it is true!!

• Being born in December is not something I like..even though I LOVE the winter months..I do not like being born around the holidays!  So all my life I've said..if I plan on having a child..I'm going to do my best to NOT have him/her in the month of December!
• I was in the Top Ten of my graduating class!

• I graduated from college with an associate's degree in Computer Information Systems
• I met Damon in church!  We met in 2000..before I graduated from college.
• Damon and I are 11 YEARS apart in age!  Currently I'm 31 and he's 42..but we never even think of it..we're both like a couple of kids I guess!
• Damon is the ONLY guy I ever dated (no jokes!).  For this I feel blessed that I never had to experience the heartache that goes with a breakup.

(This is us in April of 2001 before we got married..headed to the NASCAR race in Martinsville!)
• I'm allergic to aloe vera..yup the stuff for SENSITIVE skin!
• I'm an only child.

• All my life (until this past Christmas) I never wanted to have any kids..probably had something to do with me being an only child and not being around babies for most of my life!
• We bought our first home last year!

• I have a small job cleaning our church.  :-)
• I gave my life to the Lord when I was 15 years old.
• My most memorable vacation is when we went to Nashville and Chattanooga, TN in 2005.

Ok..thats probably enough randomness about me!  Hope you guys continue to enjoy learning about our family this week!
