Patriot, conservative, Christian, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-family kinda woman. True GRITS (girl raised in the South). Daughter of a military man; married to a navy man; retired from the USAF after 20 years of service. Mom to 3 great kids. Love God; love this country; love my family. Wonderful mix of English, Scottish, Swedish, French and Cherokee heritage. Went from clueless sorority girl to frustrated teacher to lady-with-a-mission military officer. Take my usual (sweet tea most days, but on tough days, Southern Comfort on the rocks) on my deck overlooking a sweet Alabama lake. Love football, my dogs, corny jokes and men in uniform, of course! And not a bad cook, either!
