Being home and breathing in this wondrously clean forest air makes me think about my life. I am so incredibly blessed. I don't mean that in a holier-than-thou, coolest-house-on-the-block way, I mean that in an everyone-is-given-something-spectacular way. No matter how I manage to stumble and fall, I always land in something even better than before. Coincidence? Luck? I don't think so. The only way to explain Mattie (he hates when I call him that), Wyatt, Alexis, our home and our experiences is that the good Lord is clearly smiling down on this bumbling fool. Like I warned in my first post (post? Blog? Entry?), I am one of those weirdly optimistic people so don't be surprised if I joke about sad things or brush off things that are a big deal. Oh also, my mother is a trauma nurse and my father was a cop and worked in a burn clinic- so my idea of common or dinner-table conversation is slightly skewed. You've been warned.
Past- my past is filled with amazing memories; I grew up with a huge, loving family, in a tiny town that I couldn't wait to leave when I graduated high school! But that tiny, backwards town taught me more than I could imagine and my family let me loose with a sense of determination and morals that have guided me through the twists and turns of life. I've done some pretty dumb things in my past, but I still managed to get through it.
Present- I am so in love. One thing anyone and everyone reading this needs to know: I have the most amazing man in my life, and the cutest babies in the whole wide world. Everything I do is for them. And because they like to eat; I am also gainfully employed in the Army. So I get to wear no-so-camouflage to work, and take 'vacations' to places like the Mexican border, the swamps of Louisiana and Afghanistan. Haha but on the bright side, I get paid to have people force me to work out, I have pretty good insurance, and I get to help protect this awesome country.
Future- my future holds a home near a white sandy beach, full of beautiful children, laughter, my husband, and good food (I hope!!). But before then I will be enjoying a brief stay overseas, followed by a few years working wherever the army sends me.
I am so excited to learn from my past, enjoy my present and embrace my future! It's going to be a long windy road, but ready or not, here I come!

Guess what? This is exactly what major companies are paying me for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So these companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars every month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
