10 Facts About Me
1) I'm Married to My Best Friend
I met and married my college sweetheart in 2018. We met at Georgia Southern University at the GSU vs. Tigers game and my soon to be husband gave a fantastic first impression--but stealing all of my french fries and then my boiled peanuts (that I bought to replace the lost fries).
We started dating six months later and later walked across the stage together. We went on to get engaged in 2018 and later married. We were just 24 and 22 when we got married!
We've since been living happily ever after in our beautiful home with our corgi, Nugget and two cats--Bob and Piper.
2) I'm an Avid Hiker
My husband and I have been avid hikers for years, even before we met one another. Our passion for the outdoors was one of the things that brought us together. We have hiked all over Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, and Alabama. Our dream is to travel to Colorado and hike through Rocky Mountain State Park! Even our honeymoon we spent on the Appalachian Trail! Some of our favorite hikes in Georgia were Cumberland State Park and Amicalola Falls!
3) I'm a Corgi Mother
We first adopted our baby Corgi Nugget in 2018. We adopted him from Cook Arena Corgies, a local Georgia breeder that is approved by the American Kennel Club. I had long dreamed of having a corgi puppy, and had molded my life and time to be able to support that goal. Finally, after five long years, I was able to adopt a corgi. My husband Kevin came up with the name Nugget--because he looked like a chicken nugget lol.
Now, Nugget is a happy, healthy, and thriving corgi living his best life in our forever home!
