And so the journey begins...

I am both excited and nervous to begin this blogging journey.  I guess to me, my life was never interesting enough to blog about.  My best friend, Lindsey, who is also starting a blog encouraged me to do this. Most people explain the name of their blog first, so I guess I will follow the trend and do the same.  I think everyone at one point in their life tried to imagine what their future would be like, who they would marry, how many kids they would have, where they would live...you get the point.  I am one of those hopeless romantics that imagined living in a big house with an amazing porch, perfectly manicured lawn, and kids that always use manners and never interrupt.  Oh man was I wrong! Throughout the past few years God has shown me that he has a plan of his own for my life. 6 months ago I married the greatest man I have ever met.  He is 32 and has two precious kids! Emma (the 6 year old diva) and Peyton (our 3 year old superstar).  I have to admit, parenting is the hardest part of marriage so far!

 So getting back to the name...it all came about because I guess I had always imagined things in my life going exactly as planned, and well my life is far from perfect! It may not be the way I had always imagined it, but it is just the way God wanted it!  I love sweet kisses, hugs that are so tight you can't swallow, and the "I love yous" that make your heart hurt .  Josh, Emma, and Peyton teach me something new about myself everyday, and I will be a stronger person because of them.

April 2, 2011...the day that my life changed forever!  We cry, laugh, and sometimes do both at the same time...I guess that is the fun of living a Not SO Perfect Life :)
