Introduction

So if you're reading this you probably know me, and if you know me you know me pretty well. I'm not the kind of person to hold back much. I love to talk, and I guess a blog is the natural place for me to be.
Now that I'm a stay at home mom the only person I really get to talk to is Gryphon. He's a great listener, but doesn't contribute too much. I can cut him some slack though, he's only 8 months old. He's one of two people that own my heart. The other is of course Jon, my husband and best friend. Jon's the one person that has truely understood me, some times better than I understand myself. He has a way of seeing past my flakey, goofy, often mixed up outer layers to the core of me.
I can get off onto amazing tangents, Jon doesn't seem to mind too much, and can get me back on topic. He also appreciates the weird comments that I make, often helping me to laugh at myself instead of feeling embarrassed.

Okay, speaking of tangents...
Jon and I have spent the last three years making huge changes in our lives.
I started and finished my teaching credential program. Jon completed his culinary training program. While I was in school, Jon proposed, I said yes. I got a job teaching middle school in my hometown, with former teachers, and made some wonderful new friends. Jon planned out wedding while working at the company we both met at. Jon got a new job at a 5 star restraunt. We got married. I switched classes, teaching pre-school and kindergarten. Jon quits his job, hoping to find something that he's really passionate about. I get pregnant. Jon decides to join the Navy. He loses 60 lbs. I gain 25 lbs. Gryphon Kingsley is born. Three weeks later Jon leaves for basic training. He graduates, we move to Charleston, SC. I become a stay at home mom, and Jon is taking the Navy Nuclear school by storm. Gryphon figures out how to crawl and to pull himself up.
WHEW!!!! It's been a crazy couple of years. But we've enjoyed it all. I'm looking forward to things slowing down, for a little bit anyway.

So if you decide to subscribe to my blog then hopefully I keep it up, and hopefully I keep it entertaining.
