In the beginning...

I remember being a young girl, playing dolls with my best friend & my sister. I was ALWAYS a mom of at least 2 babies... Usually a young mom, around 19. For some reason I thought that was the "coolest" age and apparently old enough to be a mom. haha I have no clue why or where I got that idea.... The point is I was ALWAYS a mom.
My answer to the famous "What do you want to be when you grow up" changed many times. I remember wanting to be a pharmacist, a Pediatrician, a teacher, even an ultrasound tech, but most of all I wanted to be "MOM".
 A Mother, mommy of babies; the concept seems simple enough. I am a woman, it shouldn't have been a problem. That is ALL I've ever KNOWN I wanted to be, the unchanging piece of my life's puzzle... The ONE thing that was always in my grown up plans. My plan included growing up, going to college, getting my degree, THEN falling in love, getting married, and have 2 MAYBE 3 kids, of course in the perfect house. :) We plan and God laughs.

I was never interested in being "cool" or popular, drinking, drugs, smoking, or having lots of boyfriends. I had a couple boyfriends in High School, but nothing serious at first. I got my first job at McDonald's of all places; a few guys there caught my eye, and I dated a couple.... My Junior year of High School, I decided I was NOT going to prom alone, without a date. I was a HUGE chicken so I had my friend Jess ask out a friend of ours for me. We had went to the movies once, and "hung out" at work. This would be our first Official Date! lol
Something magical happened that May night. I fell in Love. I didn't know it until later, and even tried to talk myself out of it. I was not ready for a serious long-term boyfriend.....

A little about me

I am a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, an Aunt, and a friend. I believe in God! I believe he has a plan for me... even though he won't tell me what that plan is. :) I believe I was put on this Earth for some great purpose, again, no idea what that is yet.... Other than being Mommy to my daughter and hopefully future kids.

I love PAPER CRAFTS!! If I could do anything paper related ALL day long I would; Maddie would be right there with me (I'm slowly creating a monster hehehe). Scrapbooking is my passion, I might not be great or making money from it (more like losing money lol), but it's what I enjoy. I also have recently started card & ATC making, and I also quill. Lots and lots of fun. My husband says I need an intervention, but he never says "No" when I ask if I can buy something new (if we have the money of course)! lol :)

 I also love stories, reading, and listening to the older generations tell stories of their youth, especially my G-ma. I wish I could remember everything she's ever told me, write it down, or scribble it in a notebook for the future, and my daughter. Once they are gone, that is it... no more chances.

I'm also a TV junkie, I hardly WATCH it, but I have it on all the time... just in the background. I love games- board games or Wii games, and especially silly made up games with Maddie.

This blog is going to be my ramblings, mostly about PCOS (a vicious, evil, women's rights-stealing syndrome) and also a little about my life, life with Maddie. A bit of a diary and remembering the past.

I once read a quote, something like "If you write to yourself you also write to an eternal public".... That's ok. At least there will be something from me left when I'm gone. :)
