Getting to Know You

I've seen many bloggers doing this, so I thought I would jump on the boat.  Lately, I've seen some new faces around here and would love for your to introduce yourself.  What's your name...and why did you start blogging...or what is your favorite thing about blogging?

I started blogging right before Nolan turned 5 months...that seems like a lifetime ago!  Never would I thought two years later I would have two boys or have such a great blogging community.

Here's a few fun facts you might not know about me:

1)  I want three kids.  When I was growing up, I always thought just two.  But as I got older I liked the concept of having a big family.  Would we want a girl?  I would happy with either...and honestly I love being a boy mom and that's what I know.  So three boys would be great, or I could learn new ropes with 2 boys and a little girl.

2)  I was class president of my senior class from high school.  I had to plan our senior trip, and we went to New Orleans!  We were the first class to actually fly somewhere.  Crazy I know...but the administration fought me tooth and nail about that.  Looking back it's crazy to think I just looked online and dealt with a travel agency.  I am also responsible for planning our class reunions, and we had our 10 year a few years ago.

3)  I was very involved in my sorority at college, and I participated in our Greek Step Show all four years. We were horrible my first year, but I had no idea because I was a freshman.  We won 2nd and Best of Show when I was a junior, and first place when I was a senior.


4)  I ran track in high school and jumped hurdles.  I did both the 110 and 300 meter hurdles, but the 300 meter was my favorite.  I ran all four years.  I also played volleyball and basketball---but volleyball was my favorite sport.



5)  When I was a working professional in the good ole corporate finance world, I earned my way to our big "Fast Start" which was basically a work conference and fun in a different city.  I was able to go to Boston for the first time and attend a Red Sox game, go to Seattle and experience Pike Place Market, and to Orlando where we rented out a part of Universal Studios one night and stayed at Disney.  Man those were the days...all expenses paid!

6)  My husband and I used to stay up late in a computer lab in college and play a game called "Text Twist."  You've probably seen games like this where you have letters and have to come up with as many words as possible.  We loved that game...and confession I have an app on my phone that we sometimes play now.

7)  I used to play the piano and took lessons for 7 years and participated in many recitals.  I played "Canon in D" in one of my last ones, and one of my favorites is "Moonlight Sonata."  I haven't played in awhile, and I hope to one day have my own piano and be able to teach the boys.

8)  I really, REALLY want to go to Bora Bora one day and stay on one of those huts on the water.

9)  If I order a dessert, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be something chocolate.

10)  I have been on two cruises and really want to go on one of the Eastern Caribbean.

Now it's your turn!  Please introduce yourself even if you haven't been a commenter. I would love to meet you :)
