My name is Karie, I'm 25 years old and I've been married for just over 4 years to a wonderful man named Steve who I love and adore.  We have a beautiful 4 year old daughter, Makayla, who is our pride and joy.  We have 2 cats, 2 fish, 2 guinea pigs and 2 hedgehogs!

I am a stay at home mom, which is the best thing about my life, there hasn't been a thing I've missed with my daughter and for that I am so grateful.  

Loving summer and getting to play with my flowers, can't wait until we start camping in a few more weeks.

I also own a group for moms in Allegan county and the surrounding areas.  We don't have many members yet, and we are always looking for more.  Stop by and check us out...

I ain't dead yet - Ashton Shepard

I got a baby at home, a to-do list a mile long
And a husband who comes home each night
I do the laundry, I cook and clean
It's my responsibility and I'm usually in bed by nine

But I still like a cold beer and a long dirt road
And listenin' to some Keith Whitley on the radio
Don't mean I ain't a good Mama, don't mean I ain't a good wife
I'm just like anybody else that needs a break from time to time
And I know my obligations and believe me, they are met
I may be getting' older, but I ain't dead yet

My life's a lot different now, I'm proud of how it's turn out
And the folks like me, they understand
There's always somethin' to be done
But I still like havin' fun, it's just a part of who I am

But I still like a cold beer and a long dirt road
And listenin' to some Hank Williams on the radio
Don't mean I ain't a good Mama, don't mean I ain't a good wife
I'm just like anybody else that needs a break from time to time
And I know my obligations and believe me, they are met
I may be getting' older, but I ain't dead yet

(this is basically my life story, it sums it all up and I love this song!)
