Nice to Meet You

For today, I thought it'd be fun to introduce myself. Maybe you already know all this... perhaps not. These are in no particular order. 

Mom to 2 nutballs

I totally have to remind myself this is true.

This is not really a surprise. I am totally in love with my kids. Two of the best days of my life were the days these two crazy kids came into the world.
Being a Mom is the hardest, most exhausting, most stressful, most rewarding, most amazing, simply incredible job in the world. I have never wanted to do anything else with my life. Seriously. I wanted to grow up and be a mom. There are some days when I question that, and the kids test my patience and sanity so much I have to remind myself that I can do this.
Honestly, even with all the bad days, I would LOVE to have more kids. If Stu would green light it, I would have two more. Crazy, I know. But true. 

I am super private.

Maybe this is strange to say, considering I publicly write about my life. But I am.
I am very particular about the information that's shared and who receives that information. There is  a small circle of peeps I trust. Those poor souls have to deal all my crazy.  
I prefer to be quiet. I am at my absolute happiest when I am sitting at my desk, typing on the computer, writing stories, reading other mommy blog posts, scrolling through Pinterest, digitally scrapbooking our life, or cuddled up with a book, or snuggling with my family on the couch watching a movie in the dark. 

I am the oldest in my family.

Not only am I the oldest in my immediate family, but I am actually the oldest of all the grandkids on both sides! 
On my Dad's side, there are 6 of us. All girls! 
On my Mom's side, I am the oldest of 7 grandkids - 5 girls and 2 boys. 
The men in our family are seriously outnumbered. 
My entire family is pretty fabulous, but I have to say I consider myself pretty lucky to have Jack and Steph as sisters. It seems when we are together, all we do is laugh. 

Check out these rockin' outfits Mom thought would be perfect for Disney. Ugh.

I've jumped out of a plane

Twice actually. 
I have yet to do this with my hubs. But I do think that'd be fun. Let's do it Stu! 

This was my first jump - over Sebastian, FL.

BA in English

I graduated (in exactly 4 years, thank you) from Florida State University. While I was there, I had tons of fun - arguably too much. After floundering around for a bit, I figured out that I am truly happy reading. So I earned my degree in English. I attempted the whole "teaching degree" route, but it didn't take long for me to figure out that I simply HATED education classes.
When you major in English, you are required to pick a minor. I chose French. Oui, Français.  Je parle Français. 

It's true. But you are welcome to do the same to me. =)

Well, there you have it. Anything surprise you? Perhaps I will give you more later.
