About me






I guess I should have started yesterday with a little about me. I guess I was just thinking about that cake though. I did get all the fondant done on it and all I have left is to add ribbon around it and the roses. I got the hard part done. It didn't take me as long as I thought it would. I think I will only do square cakes from now on as they are so much easier till I get better at it.

Well about me. I just turned 30 and I really don't mind. I find that 30 finally makes me an adult so I can enjoy 30 I just may not get any older. I have been married to the most wonderful guy for just over 2 years now. That seems like such a short time when I write it though. I guess it is because I have actually been with him for 12 years. We have been living together for 11 of those years as well. We were just a bit slow on the marriage part of it. Both of us wanted to finish school first. For some reason I wanted me degree in my maiden name and I don't know why. We bought our house 4 years ago now and I love it. I have a few ideas of what we can do for some additions to it but I think we have to have a windfall of money for the supplies first. I am a nurse in the Hospice unit and Love my job. Most people can't figure out how I can love all the death but I guess you just have to be there to understand it. Most people can't figure out how I became a nurse because in high school that was the farthest thing from my mind. My mom is a nurse and i was never going to be like her. Everyone though I would be a mechanics teacher. This was me in high school and no one thought I would then become a nurse. I do miss the racing though. I look back at old pictures and wish I was doing it again. I look into the profiles on facebook of my teachers daughters who are now grown up and drive the car themselves and it makes me miss it even more. I was very proud to be the only girl out there at the time though.
There isn't much else to me I guess. I like to read and spend my free time in the summer at our cabin on the lake. I love to spend time with my husband which is how I ended up going to his paintball games and then somehow now I work the tournaments in the paint booth. Although now I see less of his games that way. I come from a family of 6. I have 2 brothers and one sister. My brother and sister are twins and then I have a baby brother. He doesn't like that I call him that though because he is almost 24. My older of the 2 brothers is getting married in a couple of weeks so I will gain a sister in law. The other 2 are single and I wish they could find someone to add to our family. I think they wish they could find someone too. My brother in laws (Tony's brothers) aren't married yet either so I don't have anyone else to add yet, although his one other does have a girlfriend that could lead to something. His twin brothers are the same age as my twin brother and sister so we have 4 of them the same age. Tony also has a sister that is 32 so there is definitely more boys than girls in this family so I am hoping out of all of us someone has some girls when they start having kids. Well I am off to get ready for work. I have some time but I want to relax as well. It is just an easy pick up shift that I took. It is in the extended care rather than my own unit so it is just an 8 hour shift. That way Tony has time to play some video games before I get home.
