If you and I were besties...
...you would know that I'm the oldest of 4 children. My parents had us all in four and a half years, so they were very, um, busy.
...you would know that my parents divorced when I was 13, but they co-parented expertly. Seriously...If I was grounded at one house, I was grounded at the other.
...you would know that I got married when I was only twenty years old and our whole relationship before that was only 9 months. We started dating, 3 months later we were engaged, and 6 months after that we were married.
...you would know that I always knew I would be a boy mom. As a tom-boy growing up, I had few girlfriends and got a long way better with boys. I figured it would be way easier to raise boys then girls. Although now, I have softened to the idea of a girl.
...you would know that I work in Home Care & Hospice, and that I have found a passion in palliative care.
...you would know that my favorite place in the whole world is at a barn. That I crave the smell of hay and horses.
...you would know that I hated my siblings growing up, but now I know that I would be lost without them.
...you would know the running joke in my family about throwing wooden spoons at each other, among other things.
...you would know that I have a passion for photography and have been developing my skills in hopes of maybe...just maybe turning it into a side business.
...you would know I've been pregnant 3 times, having a miscarriage in between my two boys.
...you would know I have a love/hate relationship with March. I love it because it's the month my husband, mother, and nephew were born. I hate it because its when baby #2 was due.
...you would know that I suffer from depression and generalized anxiety.
...you would know that I was born and raised in the LDS (Mormon) church. It's where I feel like my soul sings. I hope you have that place too. Maybe it's in the Catholic faith or Lutheran, or maybe just being in nature is where you find your spiritual heaven...being around spiritual people makes me want to have closer relationship to God and Jesus Christ.
...you would know that I love the library & bookstores. I could spend hours browsing the shelves to find new authors.
...you would know that my boys are 6 years apart, it wasn't planned that way, just how it happened.
...you would know that I favorite time of year is Fall. The weather. The beauty. I just love it.
...you would know that I have kind of an obsession with pens.
...you would know that my idea of a perfect day is curled up in bed with several good books and a large cup of tea.
...you would know that I was a cheerleader in high school...GO WILDCATS!
...you would know that I was engaged before I was engaged to my husband. I kept having panic attacks while planning that wedding. I knew that if I had that much anxiety while planning the wedding, that he wasn't who I was suppose to be with.
...you would know I have hard time letting things and people go. I'm working on it though.
...you would know that I love all kinds crafts and because of that I've become a little addicted to pinterest.
...you would know that it annoys my husband that I keep either the tv or radio on for background noise. While I'm okay with total silence when I'm reading, when I'm doing things around the house I need noise to keep going.
...you would know that I don't wear my wedding rings. They tear through gloves and since my last pregnancy the skin on my ring finger has been so sensitive that my finger swells after wearing my rings for a few hours.
...you would know that my husband is ginormous...he's 6'9" and I'm only 5'2". I always get a kick out the stares we get when we are out and about because of our height difference.
...you would know that although I still am very much a tom-boy, I love everything pink and sparkly.
...you would know that I have a birth mark on my right knee in the shape of a perfect circle and thought for years that everyone should have one like me.
...you would know that I'm a country girl at heart, and would drop everything to move out into the country and raise my boys out in the openness with a garden and all kinds of animals.
