Carolina girl in a Florida world. You can find me cheering on the Heels, cooking for family and friends that are just as good as family, and playing fetch with our pup, Rookie.

I used my initials in high school.

I have always been dedicated to worked hard and taking care of my family. I try to be patient, kind and giving. Just enjoying the simple things in life is rewarding.

My parents call me Alex instead of Alexander because its shorter.

I love to travel to foreign places. I love to play with my dog Kai. Spending money on things I do not need. My family means the absolute world to me. I enjoy offshore fishing early in the morning to be up to watch the sunrise.

Want in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up faster.

Got it when I married my husband, LOL

I love to be creative and I’m passionate about the arts – theatre, movies, museums, writing, etc. My weekends are always family time, and nothing beats movie nights on the couch with your snuggly kid and your best friend. Being silly, going to theme parks and traveling is pretty much our typical life.

Emily has too many syllables.

Life if full of unpredictable moments and opportunities, take the chances and you never know where you may end up. I am proud of where I am from, and proud of where I am. I am the person who is belting out while driving in my car. I really love dill pickles.

Live each day like it’s your last.

This is from Deron. And he named our boat this too.

I am a Christian who focuses on God, Deron, my family and my friends. I always enjoy being where I am when I am there! I am grateful for my life and count my blessings every day. I love the beach, salted air, good red wine, sunsets and storms and snowy afternoons!

Because I am so Blessed.

Husband: Deron. Kids: Alex, McCree, Natalie and Luke.
