About Me


Whatcha wanna know? :-)
I'm fairly happy with "the simple things". I like to stay home most of the time, but now and then I like to go out (usually with my sister and her friends) and "cut loose" so to speak. I like to laugh and be silly and giggle and talk to people and make them laugh too. Life's no good without laughter!
I've been married for 15 years to a (mostly! LOL) wonderful man who loves me completely. We have 3 beautiful boys, and a new baby due in May 2010! Even though marriage can be a challenge at times, I know that neither of us would change a thing. I was in love many times before I met him, but he was the first one who loved me back....and that makes all the difference.
Hobbies....Reading, writing, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching. Oddly enough, I seem to have picked up my mother's hobbies! I wonder if this means that one day I will be into quilting?
I'm a Mom and a wife 99.5% of the time. The other .5% I'm out being a little crazy and having a lot of fun. Most of that time is spent at the nearest Rick Springfield concert! Yeahhhh baby!!!! (Don't knock it til you've tried it!) One day when I've got the $$, I'm taking all of you with me ;-) Then you'll know why I go and go and go and go. And go. :-D
I trained to be a birth doula in 1999, and have had the great privilege of attending several births. It's absolutely amazing to witness a new life enter the world -- and I cry every single time.
I'm a Christian. One of those scary evangelical-types. (oooooo, spooky!) I love the Lord. He has been good to me and has carried me through some tough things. I am proud to proclaim that I believe in Jesus and that He is my Savior! I'm so thankful that He loves me no matter what, and that He can look past my stumbles and failings.
What else would you like to know? Hm? Well, ask me!
========================
Oh, and this says it all. Mostly it says I have rockin' friends who find me cool stuff ;-D

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd list Rick here, but I've got that one covered already. Four times, matter of fact! Not that I'd mind meeting him again. And again. And again.... ;-P

Ankle injury slowing me down a little

Anyone who's been reading my workout records has probably seen that I've slacked waaaaaay off. Partly that's due to a busy schedule last month, partly due to my fracked up left ankle. I *think* I have...

March babblings -- expounding on the exercise (3/22 update!)
