So, I thought I would take this opportunity to confess a few things about myself. There's something very cathartic about getting it out there in the open. I'll take it easy on you since we are just getting to know each other. So here it is-light and fluffy for our first confessional together.
1. Coffee (highly creamed and sugared) is a happy place for me-even decaf at night paired with a yummy dessert.
2. Hot tea is a nice cozy, warm spot in my day too.(yes, cream and sugar are added in most cases here as well)
3. Storms make me anxious. Very anxious.(No, I haven't had any traumatic events concerning storms-that I remember anyway. Hmmm, maybe that's the problem. Maybe I've blocked it out and only feel the emotions without having the memory! Remind me to talk to my parents about that.)
4. The dentist office is one of my very least favorite places on Earth-even to take my kids. I feel this needs no explanation...
5. Country living (especially the kind that keeps me close to town) suits me nicely. Just give me a large riding mower, some tall(ish) brush and I'm a happy girl! Love seeing the trail blazed behind me!
6. Putting away laundry is my most dreaded chore-which explains why the kids wear the same clothes over and over. I just keep taking them out of the clean pile and putting them back on them!
7. I feel that by using lots of "!!!!'s" that I am showing you that I am happy, pleased, excited or otherwise feeling positively about what I am writing!! :-)
8. I am NOT a neat freak-much to Hubby's dismay.(although I am far from needing Hoarders intervention, I think.)
9. I am neither a morning person nor a night person. 4pm-8pm seems to be the time of day I have the most energy and motivation. So what does that make me? A late afternoon/early evening person?! (With the right cup of coffee, however, I can enjoy the early morning's peace and quiet! And a good cup of caffeinated coffee can get me through a long night without too many yawns!)
10. I love the Twilight Series! (Do not judge me-ESPECIALLY if you haven't read them for yourself...) I love a good story where the hero and heroin get to live happily ever after. I mean, that really does happen, doesn't it? I'm certainly living my "happily ever after!"
Now, what confession do you need to get off your chest?
Just Being Honest- In the Meantime,

My Very First Blog Post Ever!
Wow. I never thought I'd do it, but here I am...blogging.
I'd like to first introduce myself. I am Heather. I am in my early 30's. I grew up a Mississippi girl and now reside in East Tennessee.(I guess I'm partial to the states with repeating letters. Less to memorize perhaps!) I have been married to Matt since June 2004. He is my perfect match. We have 2 great kiddos-Jackson, who just turned 5 and will be starting kindergarten in the Fall (WAAAHHHHH!!!!!-this is me crying out in anguish at the thought of letting someone else take charge of my precious gift of a boy all with my consent but without my control) and Chloe who is 2 1/2 and a "corker" as my dad calls her! You will understand that more as our adventures are told here.
I grew up in a Christian home and have chosen to live my life and raise my children based on those Christian principles. I don't have all the answers. In fact, I'm sure I have more questions than answers. However, faith has been the one constant no matter what I've endured(or better said, put myself through). I believe your life can be changed by changing what you believe. (This probably has something to do with the years I put into a psychology and counseling degrees and the student loans that came with them.)
I do love to host and cook and have people in my home. We were blessed with a new (to us) home December 2010 with 6 acres of land and we couldn't feel more "at home" than we do here.
Please don't expect anything profound to come from these ramblings and know that I do care what you think! So, if you disagree with me, find a constructive way to comment, or just don't comment at all! You don't want to hurt my feelings now do you? :-)
You may be wondering why the title "In The Meantime"? Well, that's the name of my never to be written book. And since I think it's clever, I thought I'd use it here! It comes from going through situations in my life where I was struggling, hurting, etc. but (refer to the aforementioned faith issue) knew that God was there and that there would be peace on the other side of the situation. My question was always "what do I do in the meantime?" The time between now and then? I think it's appropriate to title this blog as such since it describes what I'm doing "in the meantime" of this life, getting from Point A to Point B. Thanks for choosing to go on this journey with me!
Thankful In the Meantime,
Heather
