To preserve some level of privacy and anonymity (especially for my son) I will be using fake names for my husband and son. Plus it seems like so much fun!
My husband, Roscoe, and I met in 2004*. We married in 2006, bought a house in 2007, and had our first child in 2008. Hmmm, what will this year bring? He is an amazing man and husband who provides a wonderful home (and much more) for the three of us. We think alike so often it's sometimes scary, although very refreshing when it comes to parenting and politics.
Our only son, Rooster, is a lively little boy who brightens our day (and night for that matter). That's a strange name, you say...well when he wakes up consistently at the first sign of daylight it's very, very fitting. He turns 7 months in a couple days. What an incredibly fascinating stage of life he is in. It was just a few months ago that he could barely hold his head up and now he's sitting alone and inching toward crawling every day.
I never thought I would be blessed enough to have the above. But I am and I thank God for it every day.
*Update/Correction: Oops. Roscoe reminded me that we actually met in 2003. Sorry, dear.

Well, here I am...
...beginning a new journey of writing a blog. Why does this sound intimidating to someone who has made the choice to go through with it? Well, I'm a very private person, that's why. Alas, sometimes aspects of our personality need to be overcome.
It all started years ago when, after 9/11 occurred, I became a full-blown conservative. I'd like to say I've been this way my whole life. Not so. I didn't use to care about the national deficit (by the way it's currently $11,381,003,533,303.50), I assumed the government always had the interest of the people at it's heart (right?...), and I figured taxes were a necessary evil (yes and no). Fast forward to today. Thanks to reading tons of books, listening to hours upon hours of talk radio, and getting to know sites on the Internet that actually provide accurate info, I am now a very well-informed and opinionated American.
I will not only sound off about politics though. Yes, it's the major driving force behind this blogs creation, but I have come to be strong-willed in many other areas of life too (an effect of becoming a wife and mother). In addition to being conservative, I'm an attachment parenting, running, cloth-diapering, ECing, health-conscious, happy, freedom-loving wife and mother who seeks joy in life through all of the above plus reading, gardening, sewing, cooking, etc.
As the title suggests there are many interests I will touch on. My time with each may be limited but by no means does it lesson the passion.
