About Me

Layout by NetNax I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a teacher, and more.......I am learning to appreciate life, find meaning in the little things, focus on what's important, and slow down and take it all in. I am learning that i don't have control over life, and that life's surprises are what makes it worth living! I am learning that it's okay to spoil myself, & that the best in life is yet to come! I have reached a point in my life where i am falling in love with my amazing husband all over again, & it couldn't have come at a more perfect time! I feel like life is right where it should be, and I really couldn't ask for anything more than that!My friend, Karen and I are DETERMINED to get back on track in the diet department....can we do it? we each want to lose 13 pounds!!!! Here's how i'm keeping track:There are tons of things going on in the next several months to be excited about if you're a member of the Mitchell household:href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LlRp Y2tlckZhY3RvcnkuY29tLw=="

My Interests

You are 100% Pittsburgh.

Great job! There's nooooo doubt about it. You're from Da Burgh. You deserve a reward, so go have an Ahrn City or two. And GO STILLERS!

How Pittsburgh Are You
See All Our Quizzes

Teaching, shopping, scrapbooking, spending time with the fam! I am, of course, a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan! (you can take the girl out of the 'Burgh, but you can't take the 'Burgh out of the girl!). I pretty much enjoy most competitive sports (watching them, not participating in them!) Football is my favorite....can't stand the NBA! Honestly though, my NUMBER ONE INTERESTS, and my NUMBER ONE PRIORITIES are my BEAUTIFUL children....

I'd like to meet:

One of the hardest things for me right now is watching my children grow up...they're just not my little babies anymore! The biggest realization of this is that Madelynn has started KINDERGARTEN this year!!! Should i start crying now?!?Who would i like to meet? well, the only people who i feel i would really like to meet are my two nephews. Sadly, i don't have a good relationship with my brother at this point in my life. And that means that i don't really get to be an aunt to my two little nephews, nicholas and nathan. It makes me sad....breaks my heart even. But i know that someday it will all work out! :-) And all that matters is that i love them anyway!

Music:

I prety much enjoy whatever type of music is in the "top 40"....i am too busy to find my own things to like, so i mooch off the general public! LOL!!! Luckily i think i might be getting over my country music obsession. i still tun on the country station now and again, but for a while there i was listening to it all the time! glad THAT's over!!!

Movies:

i know i got married AGES ago....but....
| View Show | Create Your Own If i actually have the time to go to a movie or watch a movie at home, i definately want it to be something absolutely mind-numbing! I don't have time for mysteries or thrillers...they make my brain hurt! And I HATE scary movies...life is scary enough without having to worry about getting possessed by demons, killed by a hitchiker, or trapped in a basement by someone who likes to torture people!

Television:

Reality TV - I am addicted! Find me ANYONE who is STUPID enough to let the whole world watch them be human, and I immediately feel better about myself!...I also like the FOX Sunday night shows like Simpsons, Family Guy, and War at Home

Books:

I don't really ever get to read books for me, so I guess my favorite books are whatever books my kiddos pick to be read to them before bed! :-) When i do read, its Harry Potter. DOn't know what i'll do now that i've read the last book! i guess ill have to start from the beginning again! :-)

Heroes:

My husband is my hero. He works so hard every day, and he is an amazing father. His children look up to him probably more than he'll ever know. He also has to put up with me and that's pretty hard work! :-)My father is also my hero. In september of 2006 he fell 3 stories from the roof of a house he was building and suffered what should have been fatal injuries. But his faith, strength, and determination along with the faith of his family and friends has pulled him through to a place none of us thought he would be again.
