Who I Am (Inspired by a close friend)
I am the lady of the house, a wife and mother. I am a CHRISTian, I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. I am on the Women's Ministry Board at my church. I love serving people through CHRIST. I am a stay at home mommy, which I love and Thank GOD that I am able to stay home with my kids. I do plan on going back to work full-time, MAYBE next year when my youngest starts school. I am surrounded by GREAT friends, whom I LOVE dearly and hope that they see me the same way. I am a listener, adviser, fixer to all who need it or what it. It is important to me that my family and friends are happy. I speak my mind, even if it gets me in trouble sometimes. I don't mind confrontation. I am a strong women, wearing my big girl panties (as auntie would say). I have to be. I am married to a man who works a lot and comes home tired, with no time for a honey do list. I mind this sometimes. I am married to a man that LOVES me wholeheartedly and spoils me, so that makes it easier. I love hugs and kisses, holding hands. PDA is important. This is breaking rule number 13 =) if there are any band parents reading this, lol. I love my tv programs. I admit, I have to many that I watch and try to spread them out so they don't interfere with me being a mommy. I love curling up on the couch and watching movies. I love family game nights. I love Apples to Apples and Farkling. I love taking naps with my son. I have insomnia at night. I have muscle pain throughout my body everyday and am trying to get a diagnosis from my dr.. I power through it. I get messages almost every night to help me with my pain. I am blessed with family and friends who pray for me. I have a wonderful family. My parents weren't good examples of a lasting marriage. I have learned from there mistakes what I don't want in my marriage. I forgive people quickly and try to learn from that experience. I was a bad girl in high school. I sold drugs. I have been in two physically abusive relationships. I was pregnant at age 19 with my first son. I was a single parent and proud to do it. I believe GOD had blessed me with a child to get me out of a bad relationship. And then GOD brought me my Husband. I became an active CHRISTian after my husband became a CHRISTian and showed a fire in his heart for GOD. Thank You GOD! I try and give all my worries to GOD and Thank Him everyday for the life I have. I love my coffee & my coffee friday morning with my friends. I love hosting coffee. I want to host bbq's but haven't gotten around to it. I am not a girly girl, but I do have fun dressing up and wearing make-up sometimes. I do get my nails done, I am a nail bitter. I love to find a good deal. Giving what I have if someone else needs it more than I do. I love to cook, trying new recipes. I love being in my 30's. I am almost 33 and feel like a real adult now. I love to buy purses. I am a reptile girl. I just put to sleep my Iguana BUD, he was my dearest reptile of 15 years. I rescued another reptile, Jojo, who is now laying eggs in her cage. I have a leopard gecko and a tokay gecko. I want more =) I wanted to be a herpetologist when I was younger. I married at age 21 in Las Vegas, in a church. I renewed my vows a year later in front of all my friends and family. It took me 2 years to get pregnant, then miscarried. I was pregnant with my youngest son a year later. I had 24 hour morning sickness. I lost 22 lbs the first week I was pregnant. That was hard nine months. I am not doing that again. I want to adopt later on. My heart has always hurt for kids who don't have parents to love them everyday. I have two younger brothers. I love them dearly. I want a close relationship with them. I am getting there with at least one of them. I love my sister-in-law. I can't wait to be an Auntie to their kids. I love to decorate for the holidays. I love Halloween. Dressing up and eating candy. I love that my birthday is shortly after. I love Thanksgiving, eating way to much. I love CHRISTmas. Remember what GOD had done for me. I love spending holiday's with my family. I love tri-tip. I love Wendy's chocolate frosty dairy desserts. My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden. MMMMmmmm breadsticks and salad. I love my 4runner, always wanted one, thank you honey! We bought our first house this year. I love being a home owner, so far. I try to keep a clean house, with boys running around it's hard sometimes. I love the sound of laughter in my house. I love being a mommy to two rambunctious boys and a wife to my best friend. I am sure there is more, but I am done for now =)
My favorite picture of me and my sons.
