I've always been one that needs to "get something off my chest." So, after some pressure from my brother, I started this blog. I've loved having the blog, it's a great way to release what I want to say and update my family that lives far away. However, I am not that great at posting on a regular basis. So forgive me.
Right now I live in Rockford, Illinois. My husband and I moved here with our daughter this past July. He is the assistant principal at a local middle school. I used to be a teacher, but now I stay home to raise Madisen. We moved from Virginia, where Brent and I met and lived for 4 years together. I miss Virginia, because I had so many friends and a great life there. Here in Rockford, I feel lonely and bored. But I know that will change over time.
I come from a large, great family. I'm #6 out of 7 children. My parents are the best in all the world. Seriously...there is no one like them. I've never seen someone put up with more crap then they do and still be caring and loving. I look forward to our yearly reunions and weekly phone calls. I'm totally in love with my brothers and sisters. I am amazed at what they have accomplished and what great heroes they are. I miss them.
I have no hobbies, but I'm working on developing some. I find that all the things I like, I don't like doing. Like gardening for example. I love to see gardens and enjoy the benefits of gardens, but I don't like to do all the work. I like piano music, but I don't like playing. I like eating healthy, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE sweet foods. I want to lose weight but I don't like exercising. See...I'm just all messed up.
So that is me in a long paragraph. Thanks for reading my blog and feel free to leave a comment.
