I have another journal, under another name. I created that journal July 15th 2001. It seems a lifetime ago. I was a student, off work due to injuries sustained on the job while working in the airline industry.
A friend gave me the idea to start again. I am a 'grown up' now! The life I lead is so very different. I will do my best to share my life with you.
About me, I like my creative side and try to keep active, whether from doing something with my hands, or from reading a book. Recently I have gotten back into crocheting. I can only do it for so long before old injuries (yup, from 2001) tell me it is time to take a break! I am not great at anything in particular, but do a few things rather well! My interests are varied, and my time--which is rather limited. Reason being, I am a 'domestic goddess' aka "Stay at home Mom"!
I do love to travel, and had majored in Travel and Tourism, while minoring in Nursing. My plans were to become a travel agent for those with special needs. I got the surprise of my life when I 'fell'* pregnant. My life changed dramatically so, all at once. Nov 2007, I got married on a Wednesday, and moved on the Sunday to another country! Did I happen to mention that I was 6 month's pregnant at the time? My family will tell you I never do anything in the right order, or for that matter EASY! After dating my now husband for 8 years, it was time! We did get married exactly one year from getting engaged. Little did I know that my coming over to go househunting would end up to tell me just exactly how big a house I was going to need.
Life has been interesting since then. Adapting to many things at once, such as: being a wife, becoming a mother, and living life as a foreigner.
I am going to try and document my life as best as I can... as honestly as I can. Sometimes the truth is hard, especially when coming from yourself!
*A term that has always amused me, How do you 'fall' into pregnancy?!
