I have missed blogging. I started a blog back when I was 17 and blogged all the way up until my first child was born. Life got in the way.
I am a native Open Diary/Bloop blogger. I ended up making many friends that way. Since starting Prose Box, I had every intention of writing and instead I’ve been a snooper only. I guess an introduction is in order.
I’m a 31 year old married mom of 2 very energetic boys. I met my husband when I first started high school at the mere age of 14 and he was 15. We started dating then, dated all through high school. We had many highs and lows throughout our (what I like to call) crazy romance novel. Through the blogs I lost when losing Open Diary, and Bloop going and deleting my diary there, I had almost our entire insane relationship in writing. We broke up twice (once for a year). I felt that time apart did us a world of good. It made us realize that we are most definitely meant for each other. I will always remember his quote before we got back together for the last time…“You know if we get together this time, it’s forever ok?” I will always remember that line till the day I die. We are coming up on our 18 year dating anniversary in August. That’s insanity to me! In December we will have been married for 9 years. Life hasn’t always been easy with us, but apparently we thrive on that. We like to take the incredibly hard times and use all the knowledge we gain from those times to make us stronger than ever!
My 2 boys, oh my 2 sweet, loving, loud, hyper, never give me a break boys. I love them so! My sweet little Ethan turned 6 recently. He is a sweet, shy soul who, at the same time, will win over your heart in an instant. He is very quiet, but also has a knack of making friends at the drop of a hat. He is very bad and letting other kids run over him and not take up for himself though. His reason for that is “Mommy it’s not nice to be mean, even if they are mean to me.” How can you not shed a tear when your baby says that?! It is blowing my mind that he is starting 1st grade in the fall. He loves school so much, which makes me very happy. He just melts my heart every day and I just love him to pieces!
My little Matthew, oh how I love him so. He is so energetic! He keeps me on my toes constantly. He is fearless! He thrives on the thrill of life. For a 2 year old, he has such a sense of adventure. He takes me out of my comfort zone daily and I love that! He has this smile that will make you just melt. He gets away with murder usually, but doesn’t all the babies? He’s also my non-sleeper. I haven’t slept in 2 years but it won’t last forever. He starts mother’s day out in August and for the first time since I’ve had kids, I will be kidless for 6 hours two days a week. I’m not sure how I will handle this.
About myself. I guess I would call myself a part time stay at home mom. I do work, but mostly from home. I help my husband’s family business with paperwork and bookkeeping. I also work every Saturday at an animal hospital. I’ve been there for 7 years and while I don’t really need the job, I love it so much that I can’t leave. Plus it gives daddy time with the kids by himself. I’m also a part time college student going into nursing. I need something when both kids are in school full time that I’m passionate about. If you haven’t noticed, I like to stay busy. Not having something to do doesn’t go very well with our little family. We all like to be doing something. I also am part of a mom group that meets regularly. If it wasn’t for this group, I think I would have lost my mind. I love my children, but I NEED adult interaction.
We currently live in a money pit condo in good ol’ Tennessee. My husband bought the place when he was in his last year of college and tired of the dorm life. He bought it with the intent to sell it not much after he bought it. I moved in a few months before we got married, and next thing you know, it’s 10 years and two kids later, and we have desperately grown out of it and cannot sell it for the life of us. This place has been a thorn in our side as every year it seems something very big and costly needs replacing. This year was our water heater. It’s been super fun (eye roll). That being said, I will miss this place when we finally do sale. It’s been a major part of our life and I think I will shed a tear when it’s gone forever.
So I’ve babbled enough, but it feels so good to be back writing again! I hope I don’t fail miserably and quit writing.
