The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.

Everybody wants you to do good things, but in a small town you pretty much graduate and get married. Mostly you marry, have children and go to their football games.

I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it's a good day. So, give me more!

Marriage isn't something you agree to do one day, and if things don't go right, then it's over.

In the real world, it is hard to be taken seriously as a woman. Use your brain and be smart about your choices. There's nothing wrong with being a good girl - it's actually very attractive and sexy.

Tim has given me confidence and strength and my foundation. He makes me feel like I can conquer the world.

In order to succeed, you can't be afraid to fail. Just do it and don't let anybody tell you you can't.
