I’m a 27 year old mother of two wonderful kids. Hannah is 2, and Henry just turned 2 months. I’ve been married to my husband David for just over five years. I’m new to being a stay at home mom, as I’ve been teaching for the last five years. I love my family. I love my life, and I’m daily trying to figure out ways to make the most of it. But who am I? Who you are is fairly subjective. In the paraphrased words of The Format, you wait and wait to become something or someone you ultimately can’t define. So, who am I you ask? I would do anything in the world for my husband or my kids, but will do everything I can to avoid doing something that isn’t efficient or worthwhile. I am highly conscious of time, and hate to waste it, but allow time to slip away if we’re having a 24 or Friends marathon(okay and maybe ridiculous reality television re-runs), or if we get caught up in a rousing game of say Outburst or Balderdash. I love to laugh and try to surround myself with entertaining people. I loved my students (most of the time) and loved that I got to go to kindergarten every single day. I’ve been writing a book for the last three years, (and yes, you might be in it), and secretly aspire to be a published author. I cry at commercials but have proven to be a much stronger person than I ever thought I could be. I have an amazingly short attention span, but am one of the most dependable people you will ever meet. I hate flaky people and thrive on a schedule. I am a pastor’s wife, learning how to be gracious, and am adapting to a new city and a new church. Half of my friends would tell you I’m shy, and the other half would laugh hysterically if I tried to tell them I’m introverted. Let’s just say I know how to steal attention, and can be outgoing when I need to be, but in general, I’m probably more comfortable in a small group, unless I’m the one in charge. I’m a closet college football fan, Disney nut, slightly neurotic but fun-loving girl-next-door type, with a passion for teaching, the best family a girl could ask for, and a life that is so blessed. In the words of Brett Dennen, “blessed is this life, and I’m going to celebrate being alive.”
