"Honey Bunny"

What or who is "Honey Bunny" you ask? Well that would be my husband, and I guess we should start with him before we talk about how we met. Since I am 7 years younger than Stephen, I didn't know him growing up, but we did attend the same high school. He had the opposite childhood as I did, and it just amazes me the person that he has become even through all of his struggle. Since that is his business to share I will just keep it simple by saying that I am very greatful for my loving, supporting family, because to live without that would be painful! I can however tell you that my husband drowned his family life by throwing himself full force into football. He was the star football player that set all the records in our High School. I remember seeing his name on the "Records Board", and having coaches talk about his talent with comments like "never seen anything like him", and "if you can even get close to these records you are impressive". At the time, I din't know that this boy on the "Records Board", would be my sole mate........

I promised my 3 year old I would watch a movie with him, so I better follow through......

Until next time

Introduction to Myself

After thinking about "what" to write in this blog, I decided that I should write about my family, our history, and our milestones. Maybe one day I can give this to my children and they will appreciate all the valuble information that may seem to me, no big deal. I have to honest though, I hesitate to write personal information, becuase I am not a "public" sort of person. However, I am going to go for it. Ill tell you this, it is important to me that when my children are grown, and want to share there experiences with there children, they have the story.

"Me", is probably a great place to start. Recently I have reached the age mark of 30. Which unlike my friends, I was not sad. I feel like I have grown into the woman I want to be, and I strive everyday to be happier in my own skin. I grew up with a very loving family. Mom, Dad, Brother and me, the little sister. I can't say that we didn't have everything we want, and my parents seemed the sterotypical "perfect". They never faught, raised their voices, or made me feel worthless. I was always taught to be respectful, honest, hard working, accepting, and compassionate to other people. I never understood that this was not the
"norm" for other families. I didn't even really know there was another way. As a child and adolesent, I did all the "perfect" child things, played sports, had slumber parties, and was into performing arts (more specifically singing). I loved to be on stage, and had a real talent for singing. I even had the perfect high school sweetheart..... he was a base ball star. My brother on the other hand was the star football/basketball player and got excellent grades. Don't get me wrong, we had our issues. My brother and I fought, when I was a teen I fought with my mom because I thought I knew it all, and yes I even got drunk and pregnant(which I never told my parents, and may delete befor I give to my children) when I was in high school. For the most part though it was all normal. I always had a loving family that accepeted me and supported me to fall back on.

Ok.... The baby just woke up, too be continued :)

Just a side note..... My picture is a tribute to the up-coming Halloween month, I am not a vampire! LOL

My Life

Today is the first day of this new Blog. I feel like posting blah, blah, blah, but thats probably because we are all a little under the weather today. We had a very exciting weekend filled with family and parties. I will tell you this, I have learned my lesson about dragging a 3 year old, a 4 month old, and a husband to every event possible, because we are now all sick. To much to do in too little time.

Once I feel a little better, I will take the opportunity to introduce the family, and our current events. Until then....

Ciao,
