Hmm...I'm not really someone that can be summed up in a paragraph, but I guess I can try...
My name is Melanie and I am 30 years young.
I was born in Germany and went to school there until I was about ten years old. We moved from Germany (I was an Army brat)to Kansas (a big shocker when coming from Europe) and since I've lived everywhere and nowhere (and learned to speak English along the way.)
After H.S. I joined the Army, but can't say it was the life for me.
I love to smile and laugh, but admit I don't do enough of either.
I hate liars.
I am extremely passionate.
I am a perfectionist, I am flawed, and I am my own worst critic.
I love my family.
I have been married for five years to my high school sweetheart, Lonnie, and even though we have been through rough times, we are still able to love and laugh.
We have three beautiful kids together! Mikhayla is 8 and Elijah is 4. We welcomed our youngest, Gabriella, on Jan. 7th, 2009. I also have a beautiful step-daughter, Lyanna, who is 9 1/2. My kids are my world!
I am so blessed to be a mother!
This is not how I imagined my life when I was younger (hey, being a stay-at-home-mom is harder than I thought) but I wouldn't change it for the world! I get to watch my babies grow and blossom right in front of my eyes, and a lot of the time they have us laughing the whole way.
I don't call a lot of people 'friends' but the once I do, I'd do anything for.
I love coffee and good books.
I love each season as it begins, and am ready to see it go at its end.
I love long drives as long as I'm in good company.
I believe that God has a plan for me, but don't always (or sometimes never) know what it is.
My walk with him is getting stronger each day, though there will always be room for growth because I'll never be perfect! ;O)
Through him I know I will find my way though, and live a blessed life.
