Here are a few things about me! I hope you enjoy!
Where am I from? - I was born in southern
California and moved to Arkansas at a young age. I’m pretty sure that I have
never forgiven my parents for moving me away from my friends. As much as I
hated growing up here I have always been thankful that I was able to grow up in
a small town and be so close to many people.
What did I want to be when I grew up? – I
wanted to be a lawyer or a teacher. Now I want to be a teacher or nurse. Every
day I change my mind. I know I would have so much fun teaching but I also know
that by becoming a registered nurse I’d be able to take care of my family if
something happened to my husband.
Random things:
a.
I have been on a huge peacock kick. The peacock
is an absolutely beautiful bird! My Christmas tree is covered in blue and green
and even has some peacock feathers in it!
b.
Running, I was never a runner and just recently
decided that I should start since I am in the military and all. I signed up for
my marathon next March and hopefully I will be here to do it. (There’s a possibility
I may be moving and if that’s the case I won’t be able to drive all the way
home for it.)
c.
Pancakes! I absolutely LOVE pancakes! When I was
in basic training I would motivate myself a little extra on days that I knew
they would be serving pancakes in the DFAC! When we took our final PT test I
remember telling myself the whole last half of the mile that WHEN I passed I
could have all the pancakes I wanted. Guess what! I passed with 2 minutes to
spare!
What kind of movies do I like? - I LOVE
scary movies. I have a really bad habit of watching scary movies and television
shows when I’m home alone. I tend to freak myself out. Sometimes I scare myself
so much that I can’t sleep.
What is my biggest fear? - Growing up it
was spiders. Can’t. Stand. Those. Things! But now that I am older I am afraid
of being alone. Hate it! I am alone all the time since my husband works out of
town. I always worry that he will be working out of town for ever and that I’ll
always be alone.
What televisions shows do I watch? Well
since little man runs the house we normally watch things like The Dinosaur
Train, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Mickey Mouse Club House. When it’s
just me I watch Doctor Who, Scandal, The Good Wife, Greys Anatomy, and Face
Off. I will TRY just about any show.
Favorite movie or television show?- I
absolutely LOVE The Mummy and Twister. I can probably quote both movies without
missing anything. They created two other mummy movies. The second one I will
watch sometimes and the third one I have only seen once and refuse to watch
again.
Can I play any instruments? – In high
school I played the French horn and flute. I also learned to play the trumpet
and keyboard. I still have my flute and
I donated my French horn to the school I graduated from. I love music but was
really never a fan of band.
Do I have children? –Well yes, that’s why I
started this blog! I have a 15 month old baby boy and two step-sons (four and
six). My husband and I have talked about having two more kids. The only problem
with that is if we have two more boys. FIVE boy’s total that would be crazy.
I’m not really sure if I could deal with five boys. Plus my husband has a baby
brother and sister and due to health problems his mother has we could end up
having to take care of them too. So we are talking about the possibility of SIX
boys and a girl. I think I may be getting sick just thinking about that!
Do I have a best friend? – Yes. It started
out as forced love and grew into a wonderful friendship. My sister “J” is
several years older than me and has always taken care of me. She doesn't know
this but I have always looked up to her and consider her my best friend. She is
always there when I need her, even if it’s for her to tell me that I am stupid
and to grow up. Since she is about 15 years older than me she is more a mother
figure than a sister but either way she is still my BFF. J
What is something I would change about
myself? - Growing up there were tons of things I would change things like my
teeth, hair, booty, and being lame. Now there really isn't much that I would
want to change. The only thing would be going to college after high school. But
even that really isn't much. I have grown to love myself. Now I do wish my
booty was toned up and I wish my teeth were straight. But I am who I am and I
will live.
What is my favorite time of the day? - Nap
time! I love chasing my toddler around the house all day but I love nap time.
The only time of day that I can sit down and breathe without worrying about
getting hit with flying food or someone chasing sister around with a dowel rod!
What do I do in my spare time? - Spare
time? I have no clue what spare time is so I can’t answer that one.
Do I do anything neat? - Yes! I LOVE DIY
projects. I've made several diaper cakes and hair bows. Not a big fan of sewing
but I have made a few blankets. I have seen so many things that I would love to
do to my first house. Now all I need is a house and I can let my crafty side
out!
How do you feel about deploying again now that you are a mom?- Well um..I hate the idea. I have no clue how people can do it. Becoming a parent changes so many things. I always thought that I would retire from the Army but now after having my son just the thought of having to leave him kills me. It's even worse because my husband has a job that keeps him away from home. Growing up without both parents isn't going to happen.
So there you go, some things about me!
