Me? Write a Blog For You? Ok!

I recently was asked to be a guest blogger for a website called Nucopiamom.com, a website run by a friend of mine. At first I had no idea what to write about. And then I realized- who am I kidding? I've got tons of shit to write about! 

So read about it and check out Nucopiamom's website here:http://fb.me/2HLPAaVGr

Thanks again Kelly- it was fun!!!

So the craziest thing happened to me the other day. I woke up, my house was a disaster, my husband was snoring, and there was a 5 year old angel sleeping in my bed. Wait. I'm married? And I have a 5 year old? I can't believe it. I'm not mature enough to be a mom, let alone have a 5 year old! 

As I sat there surveying the circus that is my life, I couldn't help but think about the last 5 years. My marriage. My family. The places I have been. The things I have learned. I know its a cliche, but how did 5 years blow by so fast.

In 5 years I have settled into married life. Had 2 beautiful children. Worked to help raise my step son. Graduated from nursing school. Started graduate school. Traveled the country. Bought a house. Moved. And moved again. Fought with loved ones. Made up. And fought again. I have seen great happiness and dealt with suffocating darkness.

But the lessons that I have learned go beyond those things. Becoming a wife, and mother, has taught me lessons that can't be learned any other way. Creating my own family has been my greatest accomplishment yet...
