my story

Wow what a beautiful day it is in Bradford County, Pa. I honestly spend a lot of my days thinking about that. I still can't believe I am back here sometimes. Life is never what you think it is going to be.
It seems like yesterday I was moving from here to Virginia. I remember thinking I will probably never live here again. Well, God knows what we need. I have spent a large (as in most) part of my life looking for greener pastures. Sometimes I "needed" to look and a lot of the times I only "thought" I needed to look for those greener pastures.
So here I am choosing to bloom where I am planted. I still consider myself a newlywed as I have been married to my husband for about a year and a half. We have a 5 month old baby who has brought a ton of joy to our house. We are a blended family with a house full of boys who have all become the subjects of our little princess. I also have two grown girls who live on their own.
All in all I have a great life, my husband truly loves me, and is pretty good about demonstrating it, my kids are all healthy and loving and I have the best girlfriends ever. And that is exremely enriching, even intoxicating at times. There is nothing better than being a woman that other women choose as a good and trusted friend. I am also working on a degree, at a turtle's pace.

Here we go

Well, this is my first blog, ever. It all started when a couple of my girlfriends introduced me to myspace. I really wasn't very interested because I thought it was a way of having pseudo relationships, and after all who really reads these things? Well I do! I find reading other women's views and ideas interesting, fun and therapeutic. Several people have cheered me up, made me laugh and ministered to me all on these silly blogs. So now I am hooked. I would classify myself as remedial at best on the computer, but I am learning. I look forward to developing friendships and exchanging ideas through these blogs. So be patient with me as, true to my handle, I am a procratinator.
