I Have Done It

Well I have finally done it! For a long time everyone has said you have to do a blog no one will believe the stuff that happens to you! So I am doing this for two reasons 1- my family,I stink at sending out cards or letters or pictures to my family(all sides) so I will post pictures of us on here and everyone can see and no one can complain anymore:) 2- the craziest stuff happens to me and I think its pretty funny. I told a story this weekend to my sister-in-law (my mom and I involved in a shootout at Kroger's like 11 years ago) and she had never heard it before and I realize so much crazy happens I can't keep up with it so if I blog about it then everyone can read it! Also I am just going to keep a running schedule of my life! Its crazy! So for people out there who do not know me or do not see or talk to me very often I am going to give you some background info.

I am a 35 year old woman. I have been happily married for 11 years to a wonderful and patient man named Andy(he gets dragged into a lot of my adventures). I have an amazing 6 year old daughter I will call her Pumpkin (my nickname for her) she is always with me so she gets into a lot of interesting situations. I have two brothers, two sister-in-laws a 2 month old niece and a not born yet nephew. I also have a wonderful mother who is very supportive of all of us. I have 2 sets of in-laws all of us get along, surprising huh! I am a stay at home mom (who is never home) and very involved in a lot of activities. I am a Christian who is very involved in my church, I am an active PTO member at my daughters school, and a gymnastics mom. Whew I am tired just thinking about it! So why have I decided to start this blog- well I have always thought I lived life to the fullest- but I had a wake up call two years ago. I have been sick since my daughter was born the doctors had a hard time figuring out what was wrong, at one point they told me they thought I might have this rare cancer and if I did I would not last a year (my daughter was barely one when they told me this) thankfully we were blessed and I did not have that! They did finally find what was wrong and I have an autoimmune disease. We had a party! It is not good but it does not have a year sentence! I am tired a lot and do not feel good most days but I have learned a few important lessons about life I hope to share with you all in my daily life. I will tell you I do treat everyday as it could be my last day because it could be any of our last day! Life is to important to worry about small things, yes I know everyone thinks that but I challenge you to lead your life that way. I learned aolt during the week I was waiting on the test results whats important in life and whats not. I continue to live like that every day God gives me with my family. I hope you can enjoy my frenzy life with me!
