About

Hello! Welcome to my WordPress. It’s the end of August 2007 and for a variety of reasons, I’ve decided to give WordPress a try. I’m hoping I love it and will finally be satisfied with my blogging medium.

While your here….please take a moment to sign my guestbook.

I’m 26. Grew up in the same house until I was 23 and married my husband. We bought a house about a two years ago and enjoy (haha) all the work that comes with it. We’ve done little home improvements over the years and are very happy with our house. We both enjoy growing things. I enjoy the houseplants, okay, pretty much any plants and am planning a herb garden for next year. Zach on the other hand, loves keeping up the yard and making his grass green and growing tomatoes for spaghetti sauce. Next year he wants to expand the garden, I don’t know why because he doesn’t like most veggies. 🙂

We don’t have any kids yet, but we will someday….in God’s timing. We do have two dogs that keep us quite busy. Lexi is about 4 years old and is a yellow lab-sharpei mix. She is mainly my dog and was our first baby. Guinness came along a year later when we moved into our house, because Lexi needed a playmate and Guinness’ owners were giving him away. He is a 1 1/2 younger than Lexi and just for the record, he came with his name, we had nothing to do with it. Lexi is hyper and playful and Guinness is quite and thoughtful. We love our dogs, as you can tell from my posts. We also have a bunch of Goldfish that are six inches big and a garter snake, Jake, that Zach found in the yard last year.

I have my teaching license and taught high school English, Journalism and Newspaper last year. This year I’m taking a break to go back and get my master’s in eLearning. We are barley two weeks in, but I’m loving it so far. I still volunteer at the high school and help with the Newspaper. It’s my way of staying involved and keeping in touch with my students and co-workers, plus I think I provide a bit of a stress cushion for the teacher.
