The First Day

I am starting this blog for the same reason that Kim (my cousin; she can be found at Disney Divas Daily Dish) is starting hers. It'll be a good way to stay in touch a side from Myspace with family and friends...

A little about me:

I am a mother to Sam and Stone. Both are wonderful boys with their own little quirks of cuteness and not so cuteness. Sam and Stone have made me who I am today. And I know that everyone says that about their children, but I mean this 100%! I would still be out partying and having a completely different kind of life if I didn't have them. Hmm.....

I am 28. My birthday is July 7th so that means that I will be edging near the thirty mark here soon. 29 is a year of "Oh my Gods". The year that you think about all that you want and need to accomplish. A year where you think about how maybe you have let yourself down and the year where you try to make a difference to make sure that you are on the right track.

I am a contractor for the United States Navy. My company is SAIC. No, I am not in the military anymore, I was, but that was long ago now. I am on staff at Commander Navy Reserve Intelligence Command in Fort Worth Texas. It is an interesting job to say the least and has been a wonderful tool for me to meet people and make lifelong friends. I meet new people constantly and am always a little moved by the committment of the families and the members of the United States Military. A committment that I would never not want to know and be a part of.

So now you know I live in Kennedale, Texas. Not the place that I would have ever dreamed that I would land, but I did and I'm glad we did. Brought the boys here to be near family. They have never really known family until recently. So I guess though I try to fight the feeling everyday, I am glad to be here. My children have learned what it is like to have uncles and grandparents and cousins! I've bought a house here and who knows?! Maybe this place will be a great place for Sam and Stone to raise their families.

I am an average woman. I would never stand out in a crowd. I am not too insanely special in any area. I am constantly dieting like every American. I can't play the piano with my toes and I am never going to be asked to model for Victoria's Secret. I am not the brightest person and not the most exciting by any means. BUT I am a generally happy person. I love laughing and making people laugh. I care about others with all that I am and I am pretty sure that I am going to live to be 125.

I hope you come back to share my daily life. I promise that from here on out it may not be very interesting, but it may be a little fun to read for just a few minutes. Everyone loves being a bit of a voyeur. Leave me a comment. Let me know you are here. Tell me about your blog. I'll be there.
