Hey friend!
i'm amy.
I’m a small-town Oklahoma girl, living the big city life in Houston, Texas, with even BIGGER dreams. A previous elementary school teacher turned marriage and family therapist, with a passion for helping families live their best lives. I’m known for keeping it real and maybe a little too blunt, at times. I definitely live in the real world, with real world problems, and real world people.
I am a wife of twenty-one years, mama to three kids and four fur-babies. I’m in love, like embarrassingly in love with my labradoodle, Mollie and obsessed with peanut butter cups! I am a professional taco-eater, for real. Okay, I just really think I am, but not for real, is there a competition for that? I'm a definite overachiever, every day of the week and been known to bust out an awkward dance move.

love at first site for me, maybe! love at first sign of football tickets for him. yep!
I was 19, he was 27, I LIED ABOUT MY AGE, 22 just came out, without a thought. Yep... great start! LOL!
It all started...
Imagine a man walks off the elevator where you work, has gorgeous green eyes, an olive suit, and smiling. Your first thought is.... "that is the man I"m going to marry!" Second thought, "you've completely lost your mind."
That was how it started for me. For him, I was simply a cute girl with OU vs Texas tickets and he wanted to go to the game. Note, I did NOT take him to the game. ;-) 8 years later we were married, 21 years later with lots of ups and downs we have three children, and 4 doggies.
