3 facts/habits about me: 1. I have always wanted to be a mom more than anything. That is the reason I told Chris I was marrying him and I love it. I wish I could get my degree in Motherhood!2. I love to read very, VERY much but don’t do it very often right now because if I start a book I do not do anything at all. I get so immersed in the book I don’t sleep, my house goes to ruins, and when I’m supposed to do homework-well it doesn’t get done! So if you want me to be lazy please hand me a book~but will you watch my kids! 3. I beat up on myself constantly for not being the best/ideal mother and wife. I get mad that I haven’t finished my degree that I don’t keep a perfect house, that my kids sometimes go the whole day in pajamas and don’t necessarily eat three perfect square meals a day. I try very much to live up to a lot of ideals and get mad when I fail. But I also love to be different~~try to figure that one out and then tell me so I understand!
The Senses
Favorite smell: Freshly baked bread (and I don’t make it), freshly mowed lawn, clean babies
Favorite sight: Devan just being nice to Nathan all by himself without being asked to…giving kisses, having laughing fests, talking to him etc; coming home to a clean house; sleeping babies – especially if they are cuddled together with Daddy

Favorite taste: umm Chocolate
Favorite sound: quiet-that’s horrible to say, no I love the giggles my two boys have when they make each other laugh
Favorite touch: I love Chris to play with my neck and hair. I also love butterfly kisses from Devan.

I loved reading and getting to know you better, but I have just one thing to say, You are way too hard on yourself friend! You are so wonderful just the way that you are. I have done a lot of thinking on this very subject for quite somtime: we grow up in a culture and society that says, "You must keep a clean house. You must cook three amazing meals a day. You will look and act a certain way.." I could really go on all day. But what it comes down to is you are just the way you are for a very special reason and purpose. I love you just for being you!!
