My First Post

Wow!! I can not believe I'm actually starting a blog. I've thought about it off and on for quite some time, but never thought I would actually do it. But, yet, here I am.

So, being that this if the first post...I suppose I should introduce myself a little.

I am married to the best guy in the world and couldn't imagine life without him. We have 3 kids (2 girls and a boy) ages 11, 4, and 2. Our house is just chaos most of the time with what we call the "double trouble team" - our 4 and 2 year olds. The 11 year old has hit that "tween" thing and spends a lot of time in her room (or cave as we call it).

We currently live in Arizona - in probably the most hottest city around (think 120 degree summers and 90 degree nights). During the summertime, we don't even have to use the hot water because what comes out of the cold tap is already hot. When it's not hot, then it is just windy. Most days we will have 35 mph winds all day with gusts up to 50...so a lot of wind advisories are issued for this area.

As for hobbies around here:

I like to bake, watch movies, and enter sweepstakes. I'm still trying to figure out how to cook without burning everything and it's really not going very well.

I attempted to grill pork chops the other night and my husband told me that I invented a new form of shoe leather and Nike would be calling.

My husband is into drag racing and motorcycles. He has been racing some form of a vehicle for almost as long as I've known him. He's on the hunt for the ever elusive "Wally" trophy, but has yet to achieve it. If he's not racing, he's riding his Harley or looking at a whole ton of bike forums on the net.

The kids really haven't established any hobbies yet, but our 11 year old daughter goes out on the Harley with my husband for an occasional ride.

Well, I guess this gives you the basics about me.

Thanks for reading...more to follow.
