the nitty gritty

So this is my tiny little corner of the internet. This is the place I have created and will continue to evolve to act as, well, a release of sorts, and a place to share my views and thoughts and stories about my life as a mother, wife, and career woman.

I always had an affinity for words - 31 in English on my ACTs...13 in Math, haha. But that was years ago and now the wonderful world wide web can allow us to practice and hone our words to be sent out into the world.

Born in Lubbock, Texas to a beautiful young wife and an Air Force Pilot, we traveled to Bitburg, Germany where my younger brother was born. As a family, we returned to the states in and I've since lived in Washington, Arizona, Colorado, and Florida. But my heart will always live in the Rocky Mountains.

After many hard earned life lessons, including moving to Orlando to follow a man a "find myself", I did so much more than just breathe in that crisp Colorado air again, I let it fill my lungs and clear my head so that I could meet my soul mate. My husband and I have now been together seven years (married for almost three) and have the most amazing "mini-me"s - Stella (2) and Baby Jon (7months).

What a whirlwind to get to this place! And I feel I still have so much to give and learn and share and love. I can't wait. Thank you for taking this journey with me. I appreciate feedback, compliments, criticism, and even friendly quarrels to my views. After all, what a boring place the world would be if every bird sang the same song.
