I was raised differently than most, since my dad when I was 11 years old was dying (he had ALS) and I had to take care of him, my mom, and my little brother. So I didn't have much childhood at all. But it made me strong, learned what was worth it, and what wasn't. We have too many sad things in our lives that I try to work to smile every day. I feel different than most but proud of who I am. I am a musical person who plays 8 different instruments. I have a college degree in chemistry. I play video games. I work out 5-7 times a week. I dance. I ride horses. I garden. I work a full-time job. I am a wife, I own my house, I have 2 dogs and a cat. I am a vegetarian. I cook all of my meals and LOVE people so I like to go out when I can and be with my friends. Then the Jeep life happened - accidentally at that. My husband and I got in a wreck and when my car was being fixed, I had a 2 door JK for a week. I didn't even have it back home yet before I had the freedom panels off and ready to take the top off. From that moment, I thought about how I could have a Jeep in my life and make it work. And the next year, it happened. Every day now, my life is more fun. New friends, new clubs, new adventures, going the store even is just better in a Jeep. Back to the beginning, why live a life that is blah when it can be better and make you smile. Jeep life adds smiles to my life and that's what I'm all about!

Tell Us About Your First Jeep!

Tomb Raider is my first jeep! I just knew what I wanted and got her the way I wanted her right away!

What’s your favorite trail/place to wheel?

SO FAR, Hidden Falls in Central Texas. Tons more places to explore though!

Most memorable wheeling experience?

Hot Springs ORV was the 4th time I went wheeling. It was the first time I wasn't scared anymore and just ready to try things instead of being too afraid to break things. It was my turning point. And my Jeep was capable of it all and got all 3 badges of honor on that trip. It is what turned things around and makes me want to keep doing this.
