Howdy, y’all! I’m Ruthanne.

I’m an Arkansas native who really doesn’t have much of an accent, but likes to pretend I do. Born in Little Rock, I grew up an Air Force brat, moved to Germany for a spell and then settled back down in Arkansas.

Years later, I married into the Air Force. My man took me on a tour of some other southern states for a few years, but we decided to make Arkansas home when he retired.

We both love Arkansas. It’s a beautiful state. It’s where we met. It’s home.

My family is a modern day Brady Bunch.

When my man and I met, I was a single mother of one and he was a single father of three. Now, after fifteen years of marriage, we’ve added four more children to our number and become convinced of the necessity of caffeine!

I would describe myself as a passionate person.

I am passionate about my Lord, my husband and my children.

Here are some randomly random things about me . . . .

I homeschool.

I’ve been known to eat chocolate chips straight out of the bag.

I’m slightly obsessed with running.

I listen to classical music.

I like beer. The dark kind.

I love the arts.

I devour good literature.

I’m afraid of the dark.

Which is why I love my night-light.

I’m a Reformed Baptist.

I heart old, B&W movies.

If Jack Bauer were to run for president, he would have my vote. Just sayin’.

My drug of choice is the Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks (Grande, please).

Show tunes make me happy.

I like to hide behind my Nikon.

I dearly love to laugh.

I’ve also been known to snort. Out loud. On occasion.

I’ve been blogging since early 2008. It’s like the chocolate to my peanut butter, the Grande to my Caramel Macchiato ~ it just fits and feels right.
