I am brand new to this whole blogging thing and am wondering at my sanity as I find myself starting this with eight week old seemingly nocturnal twins. Please keep my sleeplessness in mind as you notice my... impressive... spelling ability. When the girls start sleeping through the night we'll blame my fourth grade teacher; I never liked her anyway :)
I guess I should start with some introductions. This actually might take a few posts since we're a family of eight, and I'm pretty popular at breakfast time (which it almost is). I am a transplanted southern girl who now lives in the high desert of the Southwestern US. I miss trees. And the color green. But I love the sunrises that turn my mountains purple, coral, gold, and copper. I love to cook, and I enjoy being one of the very few true southern cooks in this area as this makes all those old fashioned recipes seem truly original. Reading is another favorite pastime and frequently keeps me up late into the night.
My love of reading is actually what first caught my husband's attention.... We share several favorite authors. My husband is a hardworking fellow and does not much like idle moments. Knowing this about him makes the trips to the zoo and the living room wrestling matches very
special indeed. He is a very involved and loving dad and a terrific husband. I am very grateful to have a husband who honors me for staying home.... He works a physically demanding job and quite a bit of overtime to allow me to stay home with our family, and yet he treats me like I am giving him the gift in this arrangement. I am fortunate indeed. Did I mention he has the most wonderful, infectious laugh in the world?
Well, the real stars of the show will have to wait for a later curtain call as I am being summoned to the breakfast table. Thanks for meeting us.... I hope you'll stop by and introduce yourself sometime.
