Day 1

Introduction to Me!

So I was having fun with taking pictures.... this one is totally making fun of the youth now days. Here is my picture in the mirror throwing my peace sign up and puckering up... did I cover all the right things in this one picture?! (I even did an artsy edit to it!)

And here is my "mom at the end of the day-- worn out" picture! (and a fun edit)- with a nice shadow behind my head- Sorry photographer friends! haha OH- and my plexi line :)

Well, this is me. 5 years married with 2 AMAZING/BEAUTIFUL girls.

I was born and raised in a small town and attended K-12 in the same school district. The older I get, the more I realize how lucky I was. I had the same group of close-knit friends for 13 years. Wow. Amazing.

In school, I loved all sports and was considered an athlete. I LOVED volleyball. LOVED it. And still do- but haven't played it in.... probably 4-5 years. Ouch. That one hurts to think about. I am so excited about going to my 10 year reunion; ready to see what everyone has been up to-- and I'm just ready to hang out with my buddies.... hopefully we can all have fun like we use to! (well, not really, but you know what I mean....) Anyways, I'm rambling now. So I'm married to my high school sweetheart- my first love. We have moved clear across the US- away from our ENTIRE family. While it's been hard, I love it. I love having just each other to hang out with on the weekends.



15 Random Facts

1. I LOVE S'mores Pop Tarts
2. I have LITTLE control over my love over sweets. And I hate it. Thank GOD I am not a smoker... I'm afraid I would have a hard time stopping.
3. I would do anything. ANYTHING. for my girls.
4. I hate shopping for clothes. However, I have a new love for Nordstroms. It's the first place I have ever been to and tried on more than 5 different things and left without a headache.
5. Photography is an obsession of mine. In fact, Kent told me he was going to give me some money and for two days straight, my mind raced 90 to nothing on what lens I was going to get and possibly a new camera body. He quickly bursted that bubble when he would only give it to me in two "installments".... just so I wouldn't spend it on photography stuff. Now that it's all said and done, I am so thankful! I really NEEDED to go shopping.... (Thank you Kent!)
6. I love my skinny jeans. Yes. I said it. It took me forever to try them on- now I love them!
7. I am starting to appreciate this new "style" of clothing. I like the baggy look- especially since I have been slacking on working out :)
8. I have a love/hate relationship with working out. While I LOVE to do it, I just can't get myself up in the mornings right now. And that's my only chance.
9. I wish I had enough money to put Kensley in a MDO that was half day a couple days a week... and then have a sitter come watch Kallie while I work out/run and run errands.
10. I think I am ADD. I always have 10 projects going on at once.... and have a hard time completely finishing everything.
11. I hate socks. I hate wearing them. I hate walking around the house with them on. I HATE HATE HATE when people rub their feet on the floor with their socks on. It's like nails on a chalk board! (and I cringe as I type it)
12. Spelling errors GET ON MY NERVES. I've always said I should be an English teacher. With that said- I know I am not perfect and have spelling errors every now & then. But when people continuously misspell, it's annoying. Especially on FB status updates... or text messages.... And with that said- I understand the occasional spell check that the iphones do. They correct with the craziest words!
13. I hate talking on the phone. I only like to talk to my mom and husband. And occasionally another family member. I would much rather text. I am so busy throughout the day, it's hard for me to sit and talk on the phone. Texting is SO much more easier
14. I don't like checking voicemail. I usually let them sit in my inbox for a few days.
15. I am in a mom's group and I LOVE it. It is set up FANTASTIC. The next move we make, I hope I can find one similar. If not, I am very tempted to start one up. It's THAT great. :)


Whew! That was tough!
