About Me

Life is good! I'm happy to be me. =)
I'm Brandi. I'm 28 years old. I'm newly married to a wonderful man. Eddie is a great guy and a great dad and I'm lucky to have him in my life!
I have two little boys (still not sure how THAT happened - hehe). Jaidan is one and half years old and Kyan was just born May 9, 2008. Jaidan is constantly busy and a great big mess. Kyan spends most of his days sleeping, pooping, and crying. But I love my boys and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. They are the light and joy of my life and I feel blessed to be their Mommy. I also have a seven-year-old stepdaughter, Zhariah. She is a sweet and funny girl and I'm glad she is in my life.
We live in the Dallas, Texas, are and absolutely love it here. I recently went from working full time to being a full time Mommy. It's a big adjustment, but I love being able to spend so much time with my baby boys!

Heroes:

My son

When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a fire cracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run
All wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby, you save me
Favorite Quotes:
"Dance like no one's watching and love like it's never gonna hurt!"
"Well behaved women rarely make history."
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile and leave their footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."
"I will not be the first one to speak. And if he never calls me again, I'll always think of him fondly. As an asshole."
Sex and the City
"Just because someone is poor does not mean they must be unfashionable."
In Her Shoes
"The space between the tears we cry is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more."
Dave Matthews Band
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'"
Eleanor Roosevelt
"I'd rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."
Steel Magnolias
My new anthem . . .
"Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand"
Rascal Flatts, Stand
