My name is Joy. Here are a few things about me: I am a wife, mom of 5,
Home Depot employee, and student. I love photography and scrapbooking.
In fact, I used to own a photography business, but now I only do it for myself,
family and friends. I still have my studio equipment, but no
studio.
I
have lived all my life in Tennessee with the exception of a 10
year stint in Kentucky. But when we moved back, I literally came
home. We bought my childhood home from
my mother. I have lived my entire life
in the same house except for the little house I designed and had built in Kentucky.
We
homeschooled our children for the most part, through middle school.We are a politically minded family that loves
history. This was a big focus for us in
our studies. Now, my kids are starting
to grow up and move out so I decided it was time to go back and finish what I
started 20 some-odd years ago. So I am back in school, majoring in
History with minors in Political Science and Education. Basically, I want
to teach high school history and government.
I
blog from time to time. I have very
random thoughts and if you care to see what makes me tick, you can read my Random Gems. You can see some of my photography at Jems Gems. And if you want to chat, you can find me on Facebook.
