The Raw Unedited Me

 

I was challenged this week to share who I am, so here it goes:

I often speak and act before I think things through and this gets me into trouble and has cost me us money on more than one occasion. Trying to overcompensate for not thinking things through, I frequently over think things and it still ends in the same result of trouble.

 I wish I were more assertive and less of a doormat.

I am a wannabe granola.  I wish I could be more homemade, more health and environmentally conscious, I wish I could be a naturally birthing mama but I am not ashamed to admit I was made for modern medicine.

I feel extremely blessed to have married into a wonderful family. I have no sisters, and I married a man with three (beautiful) sisters whom welcomed me right in.

I would love to live next to the coast.

I live 2,000 miles away from my family and I miss them every day. I talk to parents daily. So I figured if I am going to live far away might as well be next the ocean, right? 

 

I have an inner feminist and an inner fairytale Princess and they are often at war with each other.

I can’t drive manual, and it terrifies me when Brad wants to do (another) practice session. We have had a manual car for 6 years and I still can’t drive it, pathetic.

I love my husband with every bit of my heart but I am not afraid to admit that there is no other human being on the planet that can make my eyes roll more than him. At the same time, there is no one else on this planet that can make me smile more than him. We have days when we just get each other, and then there are days that he is obviously from Mars.  Also I think we can never get divorced… because he knows too much. :)

I hate being wrong [period]

I hate snakes and the winter. I love my dogs and summer.

I love being a wife.

I love being a mother but hate being a homemaker.

I hate horror movies, the last one I ever saw was May of 2003 and it was The Ring it took me a month to sleep again and years to forget.

 I often have flawed logic, but it doesn’t stop me from believing what I do.

I hope every person who walks into my home feels welcomed and loved and comfortable to be who they are. 

And I'm a Mormon.
