Welcome!

As this blog continues, you will learn more (probably A LOT more than you want to know) about myself and my family. But for now, I just want to welcome you to my little corner of cyberspace and tell you a bit about why I am starting this blog.

My husband and I are in the final stages of becoming an "active" family with an adoption agency, with the hopes of adding a munchkin to our family within the next few months. We already have one adorable and energetic little guy.

In addition to the adoption, our lives are mostly defined by being a military family. The hubby (aka Squishy) just returned from his 4th tour overseas. Like most military families we are far from our blood families which creates some interesting dynamics.

With Squishy's seemingly never ending deployments, I made the decision to be a stay at home mom. Best job I have ever had, but also the hardest. For any of you who have done it, I know I am preaching to the choir when I talk about how exhausting it is. It also brings up feelings of losing myself and feeling like I'm not really contributing to my family financially. To counter those feelings, as you read this blog, I will from time to time talk about my at home daycare business and working on my doctorate in education.

Other topics that you will have to deal with me verbally vomiting about: weight loss, travel, and books.

I'm excited to get to share my life with you and to hopefully get to learn more about each of you in the process.

Thank you!
