All about us

So more about us for those that aren't family... I was born and raised in Florida. I love it there, especially Sarasota which is where we lived through my teen years. It feels wonderful when I get to go back and visit. The sun, the salt in the air, the radio stations which are infinitely better than ours... ahhhh I could go right now. Somehow or another I got talked into moving to North Carolina with my sister and her husband and their brand new baby after highschool though. It sounded like a great change and adventure. It only took 9 months of living here before I met my soulmate and we've been inseparable ever since. It started off as an innocent ride on motorcycles (sorry mom and dad) and ended up with 3 kids, 2 dogs , 1 cat and a mortgage. Since moving here I've discovered I can definitely feel my families mountain roots in my blood and could never imagine moving away from the mountains. How lucky am I that my husbands family has a home in the mountains for us to escape to as often as possible :-)

Our children are amazing. Our oldest and only boy, J, is full of life and energy and is smarter than I'll ever be. He keeps me on my toes and is ALL boy. Our middle and oldest girl, F, is such a sweet princess. She's caring and bright and we call her our little mommy. She loves all things girly and pink. Our baby girl, S, is a little young yet but I can already tell you she's our sunshine. Countless smiles and love just radiate from her sweet little face. We are such blessed parents.

I'll also tell you that we are a homeschooling family as well. Everyone has a reason or story as to what has brought them to the decision to homeschool. At this point in time I'm going to hang on to our reasons as to why we're a homeschooling family, but I will tell you that I never (and I mean NEVER) thought we'd be one. You'd be amazed at how you can change for the well being of your children though. I have to tell you that so far we are loving it!! That's definitely not say there haven't been challenging days where I've wondered "what the heck have I gotten myself into", but I would still wouldn't change a thing.

Finally, I can tell you that we would not be where we are today if it weren't for our devotion and faith in God and that he is in full control of our lives.

So that's about enough info about us. I hope you enjoy all the updates and I myself can't wait to see what adventures are in store for us! Till next time...
