For those who have known me a long time (or even if only for one day) you know that I have an "interesting" personality. I am many things, wear many hats... As I've gotten older I truely have learned to not judge and accept people for what kind of heart they have. I hope you all will do the same :-) I love my husby, my kiddos, spending time with family, my awesome friends, poker, camping, the lake, whiskey, cooking, music, movies... I love a lot of things in my life! QUESTION: How much fun can one girl have???

For the most part I grew up in Fallbrook, California. I also lived in Aguanga, Anza, Oceanside, Escondido, Temecula, Perris... It goes on and on. I graduated in 2000 and also met my husband Chad in 2000. We moved to Maine, got married in 2002. This is our one and only Wedding Photo. I'm serious. I got married in a Harley Sweatshirt :-).
♥
We have two wonderful boys, Connor who was born in Jan. 2004 and Cody was born in May 2005.
♥
Yes! They are only 16 months apart! They are the two single most important things to Chad and I and will do and have done anything to make sure they are taken care of and loved the most best possible way!
♥
We moved in July of 2005 to be closer to family and bought our first home in the beautiful Northwest. It was a whole lotta work and money, but there is something special about building up a home that you plan to raise your children in.
♥
One of the most important accomplishments and jobs I have is being a mommy and wife. I have always wanted to be happily married with children, and I got that! And the damn dogs too...
♥
Chad, my husband is a Carpenter/Journeymen Framer & Heavy Equipment Operator as well as an Assistant Chief Firefigher & EMT **Gotta love a man in uniform!**. He seriously can do and fix anything! He is the best thing that ever happened to me! He is a loving, caring, compassionate husband & father. He treats me and the boys so well... I am completely spoiled!
♥
Connor is my oldest and is in his second year of preschool. I was in labor for 7 DAYS WITH HIM! I have to tell everyone that. I check into the hospital ... and had him Jan. 5th... Yeah, I know. And I didn't have any drugs until the last 8 or so hours, PLUS I had to have a c-section! {see blog for more info} Anyways... I love him! He was probably one of the easiest babies in history! Accept for all the ear infections. God knew I needed an easy one the first go around.
♥
Cody, my youngest, just started preschool... I really tried not to cry but did not suceed :-). Yes, I know we had them close together, 16 months apart to be exact, but we like it that way! He is my little bugga. I had a planned c-section with him and he was born a Friday the 13th. That however wasn't planned. He was going to be huge if he didn't get delivered 3 weeks early. Cody, is the complete opposite of Connor. Litterally. Cody is a little fire ball that is not afraid of anything! Climbs on everything and goes down it head first. He has a little bit of an anger issue, but I am chaulking it up to his extremely high IQ and of course being like his momma.

Jan.2008 I became a councilwoman. If you know me at all, you know I'm a free speaker and thinker. I'm a Non Profit Organization Supporter & very active in my community. I try to balance my life by doing as much good as I can because I've done so many naughty things!
