For Starters

First post! I’ve attempted blogs in the past. But due to my previously uninteresting life I have yet to maintain one (not saying my life is particularly interesting at this point in time, just figured I’d give it another go).

I am a twenty year old mom and wife. My husband, Tom, and I met through my cousin in 2007. We were engaged on Thanksgiving 2008, married on Memorial Day 2009, and had a beautiful baby girl, Isabella, on Labor Day. I guess we like holidays. I think of myself as a perpetual learner. I have an associate’s degree in adolescent education, but I honestly couldn’t tell you what I want to do with my life besides go to school. I never minded the papers and the reading and I love everything from science to history to English (just can’t handle math).

My husband seems to be as indecisive as I am. He is currently working on getting into the Navy, but when we try to discuss some jobs he might enjoy, he seems to have a million things in his head. His father joined the Air Force in his late twenties and since Tom turned 28 he feels as though 1) his time is running out and 2) it’s his duty (with a little “encouragement” from his dad I’m suspecting). Since he recently he lost his job due to downsizing he has pretty much made up his mind about the military. Just as I was adjusting to being a 20 year old stay at home mom and wife, I may have to learn the play a totally new role as well.

SO! Mainly with this blog I want to
- document my daughters milestones
- keep track of my husband’s progress
- vent my frustrations with day to day life
- probably the occasional recipe and
- review two books a month (I only add this because I feel if it’s a public goal I’ll be more willing to follow through with it… I need to read more).
