Five  Things You Should Know About Me:

1. I am married to the greatest guy in the world. We each have 2 children and now we joke that we are the mini Brady bunch family. It’s funny, when I tell people we have 4 children I of ten get the, “are you crazy” face. I think what’s crazy is that we are thinking about 1 more to round out our crew. Little more laundry, little more groceries, lots more kisses hugs and giggles. Wouldn’t I be nuts not to?
2. I am happy to say that I had a great childhood. My parents are still together, and yes, they still like each other! I am close to both of them and I consider my brother to be one of my closest friends. I only hope that I can create that same sense of warmth and love in our home so that our children will grow up with great memories too.
3. I have the greatest circle of friends. I have learned that my husbands coworkers are fantastic ladies and the children not only have good friends, but their mom’s are pretty cool too! I’ve also learned that it isn’t always a bad thing that a friendship is tested. You learn that your true friends will be there at the end of the struggle. They are the ones to hug you and welcome you back after your moment of panic (of course, they are entitled to smack you in the head first! lol)
4. I love history and politics. Still awake? CNN, MSNBC, and Fox are really great channels and yes, I probably could watch them all day. I hold my opinions close and usually choose not to discuss them unless I feel I’m in the right environment. I will say, once you find someone who has an opposing view and actually enjoys talking about it, you can have great fun sparring!
5. Last but not least, and I almost hesitate to write this. However, there might be someone who could benefit from my “wisdom”. The greatest love lesson I’ve learned is compliments of my ex husband and our divorce. I learned that I do deserve the best and should settle for nothing less. In turn, I learned that I need to offer only the best. I’ve learned that love is not just about affection but about trust and friendship. I’ve learned to talk, laugh and pray with my husband. I never thought I’d thank my ex for anything, turns out; I’d like to thank him for showing me what love is not.
