BioThere have been many hats for me to wear in my life. Many of them I still wear. They have been that of a sister, wife, barista, daughter, lover, odd ball, vacuum repair lady, student, optimist, twenty-something, bridal consultant, believer, faithful, front desk clerk, loving, weird and slightly crazy.
I married my husband, Aaron, in early January of 2006. He's a pretty incredible partner to travel life with. I began my independent journeys through life as someone very "tabula rasa" which can be loosely translated from medieval Latin as "blank slate". Many events and people have written on the map of my life and these things have created someone who has learned to know her own mind and how to speak it.
August 2007 found my journal 99% friends only instead of 99% public. Many things contributed to this change. There are certain aspects of my life that I didn't care if random strangers knew while I was single and this attitude continued into my marriage. I've grown leery of people I have no relationship with knowing intimate details of my family's life now that my daughter is here and another child is on the way.
When I was a little girl, people would ask the typical question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The prompt reply would be "A mommy." Since then, my response has changed to a journalist, radio station manager, music teacher, and a librarian. Through some unique channels, my view has gone back to my original answer and I gave birth to my first child in October of 2007. I'm definitely enjoying this career change.
I’m learning that dreams are what give life it’s hope and sparkle. I’ve also learned that it’s okay to have conflicting dreams because life is a contradiction. I dream of living in the country and being a posh city girl. Some days having 13 kids sounds amazing and others I believe that only having one child is perfect. All daughters sounds amazing, but a mixture of sons and daughters sounds perfect too. Living in Seattle, Washington is in the forefront of my mind one day and the next I find myself wanting to stay where I’m currently planted forever.
Come what may.
