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
