"wHeRe I cOmE fRoM"

CrAzY...........yep yep that would me in a nut shell. I must say that I have not been able to sleep since I got the phone call/email that I had been picked to do the "Biggest Loser" ....... Man I thought that getting up at 5 am for training was going to be hard, but instead I find sleeping until training to be harder........
I am a young 36 year old from FAIRVIEW, Tn yes it is true I am a born VOLUNTEER, I met my husband in 2002 in Tunica at Roxy's can you believe this? I never thought that I would move out of state for anyone but the "Love Bug" bit me and here I am. As a child I grew up in a house my dad built and I was surrounded by onlyfamily.....sadly February 6 my cousin lost her home and my Grandmother lost hers as well. The tornado took a path down the road I grew up on and damaged each of my family members homes and took two. My husband Jeff and I with help from our church Heartland Hands and donations from my school Cross Creek loaded down our truck and made the drive to deliver what we could to help. Jeff and I spent our time walking from house to rubble and visting my family. I can not begin to tell you the tears I shed, hardest was seeing the house I grew up in, that my dad built.......just gone forever...........
