You might be wondering why I haven't put any pictures of myself or family on my blog. Well, simply because people on the internet can be crazy.
Seriously.
I had a blog and twitter that I had used for years. My profile picture was of me and my son. One day I just decided to search my name in the twitter app and found that someone was posing as me.
And that's when I decided no more pictures.
I might (something I've been debating) post pictures of myself eventually. But I haven't decided yet and won't post them till I am one hundred percent sure I should be doing so.
It's one thing to take my picture but a whole other thing when you mess with my son.
The person was tweeting about being a mom, what they were supposedly doing with my son, and random stuff like talking about sweet tea.
It's just weird and creepy.
So I decided I wanted to keep blogging and twitter-ing but not at the expense of my family.
And that is why you will never see a picture of my family on my blog. It's just not worth having them on the internet for people to do whatever they want with.
Another thing that I love about having a blog where no one knows who I am is the freedom that comes along with it.
I mean I can blog about my crazy mother in law (and I mean CRA-ZY), about my weight issues, and whatever I want to blog about with no one knowing who I am. You might be passing me on the street and you would walk right past me without a clue.
But of course I will tell you some things. I mean why stick around this blog if you don't have any idea of who I am.
So…..
- My son is seven years old. Will be eight in July. It is totally true that you don't know how fast time goes by until you have kids.
- I have been married since 2005. We have been together since 2001 and met in high school. We were best friends for a couple years before we started dating.
- We just moved into a new house in Feb 2012. It's a David Weekly house that we built. Thank God for having an upstairs where I can store all the toys.
- Oh, we live in Texas. Which is like the best place on earth. Houston-ish.
- We have a Great Dane named Molly. She is adorable and also trained as a guard dog because my husband travels for work. He is in the oil field.
- I am so proud of my husband. He has climbed the pyramids in Egypt, stood on the Kjeragbolten, and driven a Lambo in Singapore.
- Growing up my dad was in the Army. Yes, I was an Army brat. He retired after being in for twenty one years. I spent a couple years living in Germany and started kindergarten there.
- Other being in Germany when I was younger I have never been overseas. I am terrified of flying.
- My whole family is Army. One of my brothers was in for six years. The other has been in twelve years and counting. He is fixing to be deported to Guam. My grandpas and some cousins have also been in the Army. It's just part of my family's blood I guess.
- I am also terrified of the dentist. Seriously. I'd rather deal with a toothache then go have it checked out.
- My son has a speech delay. We noticed in when he was about three and he has been in therapy ever since. We have seen his speech improve greatly over the years but it is still behind for someone his age.
- I am a Christian. I have been since the third grade. My dad was in the Gulf War at the time. We were at church when the first bombs went off. I remember going and listening to the radio with my mom and brother who were both crying. That night I knew that Jesus was looking over my dad. Thankfully he came back about a year later. And my relationship with God has been there ever since.
- I love reading. I am going to put my reading list on here eventually. My favorite books to read are memoirs and chick lit which is funny because memoirs can be such heavy books while chick lits are usually a light read.
- I always spell Wednesday and Tomorrow wrong unless I have spell check. I hate those two words.
- I love sports and my husband hates it. I will watch pretty much any sport besides tennis and golf. My favorites to watch are football (obviously), swimming, and gymnastics. And I am such a happy camper when the Olympics are on and it's sports like 24/7 (like now).
- Orange kool-aid is always in my fridge. I love it and don't drink much else. It is like my coffee or soda for some people.
Well, I think that is enough for now. If I think of anything else I will add later….
