Greetings!




I now have three blogs. This one, this one and this one. This is my CS 101 blog; sorry for the lame name, but it's late and my creativity is shot. And the coyotes are oddly silent tonight.

Basic facts about me. I'm 28. I have been married nearly 9 years. Yes, we got married young. Which is why I'm going to college now and not then (marriage and lack of any sense of self sort of interrupted my first try...) My husband is a Captain in the Air Force with 6 years in; he is stationed at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM. He's a space guy and has a Master's in astronautical engineering. We have two sons, ages 3 and 5. They're adorable, exasperating and wonderful all at the same time.

Before I left college to marry Jeff, I had a year of aerospace engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. After the birth of my second son, in 2004, I started at SMWC and it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I honestly believe that SMWC saved my sanity. In my 'free' time, I read, work on my novel, cross-stitch and scrapbook. I occasionally clean house, bake, pack lunches, potty train kids, pull weeds out of the gravel in the yard, attempt to garden, fold laundry and vacuum. I try to play my piano occasionally, although I am rusty and untrained. I also play racquetball with my husband and go rock climbing, indoors, when I can. I love motorcycles and wish I had one... I have one tattoo that was my birthday present this year. I tend to ramble when I write so my posts are usually too long.

I'm from a large family and spent the first 18 years of my life in Ohio, out in the boonies. I am the youngest of six. My parents raised us at a crazy church, but they didn't know any better, so that's okay. We didn't celebrate Christmas or Halloween when I was a kid, so those are my favorite holidays now. Anyway, after a few years of wandering from church to church, my husband and I became atheists, partially from actually reading the Bible. It's the best thing that's ever happened to us, which is why I mention it so often.

Life is great!

Is that your garden? We've got to talk. I need to plant stuff in my tiny courtyard thing. I have no growing acumen in this climate.
