My first blog....Who am I? Really?!

Hello all,

I have decided to join the blogging world, nothing like being late to the party! Those who know me and spend time with me know that I tend to talk too much. So since I'm trying to work on that fault, I thought it would help if I wrote too much:). So who am I?

At the start of this I am a few months away from turning 35. That seems so close to 40, but I've noticed by watching my parents that 40 is not really that old, neither is 50 or 60 for that matter. And I'm sure that when my mom turns 70 I won't think that's so old either.

At the core of it all, I am a Christian! I believe in God, Jesus, and Heaven and Hell! I believe that God has a plan for me and only become frustrated when I can't figure out what that plan is. I've been through ups and downs just like everbody else, but mostly I try to stay positive and figure out what knowledge/insight, etc.... can be gained from any situation, even the tragic ones.

I am a wife, been married for going on 10 years now. And although there are times when I'm ready to tear my husband's throat out, I'm sure there are times when he feels the same. But, underneath it all we love and respect each other and mostly just agree to disagree. He is a wonderful man who has made many sacrifices for both me and his children and I'm constantly praying that I can make him happy and somehow make things easier for him. He has allowed me to follow my dreams and is hanging in there like a trooper even though those dreams are taking longer than expected to come to fruition.

I am a mother of 3, I have a 15 year old step-daughter whom I love, raise, and treat as my own, a 12 year old son who is growing up way too fast, and a 7 year old daughter who keeps me on my toes. My kids keep me so busy I wish I could get paid for all the cooking, cleaning, chauffeuring, etc. They are all involved in numerous things so I am all over the place all the time.

I am also a friend, sister, daughter, etc who believes in loyalty and being there for others. I'm not the kind of person who has 300+ friends on Facebook, that doesn't really matter to me, the friends that I have are loyal and always have my back and vice-versa. Family and friends are the most important things to me.

I suppose I'll end my first blog post now, because believe me, I could go on forever.......Just ask anyone who knows me :) Now that you know a little about me, maybe you can understand and appreciate future posts. I would like to end this very first post ever with one of my favorite qoutes..... "If your feet are always planted firmly on the ground then you'll never be able to dance" (unknown)
