About Me

So about me. If you wanna know. I originate from the City of Angels, or at least, a city by it. Though I grew up in Southern California, don't for one second peg me as a beach lovin', city livin', Rodeo Drive shoppin', beach blond hair talkin' valley girl. That's not me. I don't really like the beach, have never been to Rodeo Drive, and am not blonde. Or at least, I am not now. I will admit that I went through my whole high school career highlighting my hair blonde, but still. You can't judge me. My heart is truly found in the open spaces, with trees in my backyard and a porch to sit and watch the sun set. And that's where I am now, mostly. I moved here to Michigan after graduating college with my husband.

I met my husband my sophomore year of college. As he puts it, I took his breath away the moment he saw me. Me, I highly doubt this statement, but let's be honest, I love hearing it. A short nine months after meeting we were engaged, and an even shorter four months after that, we were married. Apparently, we don't like taking things slow. After graduation, we found out we were pregnant with our first son. Did I mention that we don't like taking things slow? He's probably the biggest joy and love that I have ever experienced in my life. Two years later, almost to the day, I greeted my second, my little darling baby girl. Though life has moved unexpectedly fast for me, I wouldn't have changed one single thing. Things seem to be slowing down now for a bit, but I am hesitant to say that. I know that the moment I think we can sit and coast for a while, life will just shake everything up again. Which is okay.

I love to clean, but sometimes have disorganized drawers. (Ask my husband). I like to run, though finding the time seems to be a challenge. I love, love, love to read. I like Harry Potter. Alot. I like the time in my life that I used to be into music and was always finding new bands and artists to get into, and wish sometime I was still like that. I am not too intellectual, and wish sometimes I knew more about things. I like the idea of knowing about politics, but don't really want to follow through and actually know about politics. I love Jesus, but am struggling to really figure what that means in my life now. I love being outdoors. I love the snow. I'd rather it be sweater weather all year long. I don't really like summer. I wish I ate healthier. I love sweets. Am addicted to sweets. I like hanging with my husband, especially when we play scrabble, though he beats me everytime. I want to take a watercolor class. Someday, I am going to go back to school and get my RN. Someday. I wish I could quote from movies. I'd rather stay in than go out. I love musicals.  I love a good cup of coffee, with creamer.

My hubby and I...five years later and I still do love him!

They'll thank me later for this.
