31 years ago...

......A little girl was born.

Her parents thought they were going to name her Adrienne.  It didn't turn out that way. Day 2, a new name was picked.  And they say they couldn't imagine her with any other name.

She grew up following in her big sister's footsteps.  She even stole a book from her first grade teacher. And when her older sister found out, she made the little girl tell her parents what she did... and return the book.

She grew up being the youngest in her class... when all the other freshman in H.S. were already 15, she just turned 14. Probably a disadvantage, but it just made her work really hard.

She ended up graduating 11th out of 600 kids and went off to college where she met the man of her dreams.  So many twists and turns along the way, but grateful that God had a hand in everything.

Today, she is a happy and healthy mom of 2, and a wife to a supportive and loving husband. She has found her passion in helping other people... using fitness and exercise as a means of getting others to dig down deep and see that they are truly capable of more than they realize.




Happy Birthday... to me.
