Carmen Bridges

I completely support our troops!!

I've lived in Greer for a short time, but Simpsonville is my home.

I live in Simpsonville

Yes. My entire family lives in Simpsonville and Fountain Inn.

Went to Greenville Tech for my Associates in Marketing. My extra curricular activities included excessive partying!! :)

I still stay in touch with Mindy Baker (although she moved during our sophomore year) - however, we're like sisters. We grew up living next door to one another and she'll always be a part of my life.

Hmmm... that's a hard one. There are so many things I wish I would've done and didn't. I suppose I would have to say that I would love to write a book!

I'm a pretty "run of the mill kind of gal", but I guess the coolest thing I've done is successfully become my own boss. Straight out of Tech, I became an independent contractor and have been able to have a career that allows me to work from home and be my own boss.

The birth of my "neice", Mary Beckham Neely - she's 16 now!

I'm a reality TV junkie (I watch them ALL!). Big Brother is my favorite. During the summer, I subscribe to the 24/7 internet feeds, watch SHO2 from midnight to 3am, and the 3 shows weekly. (I know... sad).

Couponing is my latest "obsession". So, I spend lots of time collecting my coupons and organizing them.

Lastly, I love to read and keep up my journaling.

I've been on three cruises and I must say those are some of the MOST FUN I'VE EVER HAD. We've been to the Grand Caymans, Jamaica, Bahamas, Key West, Cozomel, St. Maarten, St. Criox, St. Thomas, St. Lucia, and Puerto Rico.

Myrtle Beach is high up there on my favorites list, too. Another is Holden Beach, NC. We have a home there and we go every chance we can.

It would have to be the destinations on the cruises we've taken.

British Virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos, Fiji, Bora Bora, Hawaii, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Italy, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, and London.

I've been married and divorced, and I don't "think" I would ever want to get married again. (That doesn't mean I don't want to be in love again... just so ya know '-)

None in school (that I know of). Today - "Scooter", "Leroy" or "Roy", but only my Daddy gets to use those terms!

Favorite:
Acting a fool with my best friend, Chrissie Miller.
Working on the school newspaper, The Rampage.
Being "in love" for the first time.
Going to the basketball games - Awesome!
Being a colorguard captain in the band. And, having a blast with all of my friends!

Least Favorite:
Dealing with "The Haters"

Be more outgoing and less introverted, and most definitely speak my mind more often. I would have no qualms with tell everyone exactly what I was thinking.

Oh... I would also make better grades so I could get a scholarship to Clemson :)

My secret crush didn't go to HHS.
I had an embarrassing moment almost everyday, but one sticks out in my mind. I was a Freshman, and I fell in a mud puddle between periods. I had on white pants!
Needless to say, I went home early that day.

The funniest thing??? I'm drawing a blank... but, it wouldn't happened during band camp or in the band room.

Hardee's was THE place to be after school, during school, and after games!

My favorite teachers were Mr. Dukas (of course), and Mrs. Walsh (English/Journalism).

I feel like I'm 32yrs. old, and hair dye does wonders for gray hair... lol!

Live your truth! Figure out who you are and what you want out of life then set about getting it. Be honest with yourself about everything and others (but don't be mean about it). That's the first step in discovering who YOU are and what makes you happy. God loves each of you and He is there to help you get back up when you fall, or guide you when you lose your way.

My mom is ill, and I am currently her caretaker full-time. She's not on her death bed or anything, but she requires a lot of help doing her daily activities. Please pray for us. God bless you all.
