Background

In order to save my husband from listening to all my mind wanderings that occur on a regular basis, I have decided to write them down. Every day a random thought or theory will pop into my head and I think it through while driving or having a rare moment of silence.

Let me start by saying I grew up in a nuclear family (dad, mom, me, and little brother). We lived like most American families, off of credits and saving money where we could while still enjoying life. Vacations were not really done but, my parents paid out the money for private school. Most of the time private school equates to excellent education but, my experience was quite different. It was a small small school where my graduating class did not equate to more than 40 individuals. We grew up together, me starting that school in 1st grade and going all the way up to graduation. Little to no dating was done within the school as most of the time the opposite sex became like a sibling to you. I did not enjoy the social aspect of that school at all, I was happy to be done, and do not want to return. There were some positives to this environment though. I got to play on team sports that I most likely would have never had the opportunity to do. While I did not make volleyball my senior year (after playing my junior year), basketball my sophmore year (after playing my freshman year), cheerleading my freshman year, softball my junior year (after playing freshman, sophmore, and made it my senior year), there were some good life lessons.  Anyway, formal education is a different topic altogether and for a different post.

I am married to my "challenge" and we have three little challenging kids ourselves. My husband was that guy that you meet and wonder if you can somehow make them notice you. After months of trying to get his attention, I finally got it, and have kept it for over 10 years now.

Okay so off of me and onto the randomness!
