I'm going to DECLARE!

4 Things about me:

~I am loved by a faithful God.  I love my husband.  I love my beautifully-blended family; I have a 5-year-old son, and 5 older step-children, ages 19-35.

~I love my life; given the perfect balance between home-life, and working for ourselves.  My husband and I own and operate a restaurant together: Nizza Pizza.com in Weatherford, TX.  My official title is "Owner's Wife." 
~I have two degrees:  a Bachelors and Masters, both in Accounting, from The University of Texas at Arlington.
~In this season, my days are simple, and the same--I spend the first part of my day with my son, go to work at my family's restaurant in the evening, come home, and do it all over, again.  I hope to, in the near future, find more time to blog, get back into playing volleyball, and travel the world.

4 of my endearing quirks:

~I have a heart to serve other moms, who may not know how much God loves them.  I have been involved in a local ministry named "Mama Chiks."  I also blog at MamaChiks.com.

~I'm an "all-in" kind of girl.  Often jumping head-first into projects, commitments, and friendships.

~I walk in favor.  God has blessed me with a beautiful life, a beautiful family, and a beautiful story.  I'm so grateful.

~I am a faithful friend.

4 things about my blog & writing:

~I don't write often or regularly, but it provides a refuge for my thoughts.  

~I ramble, sometimes, because I feel like I have the freedom of a non-existent audience, just needing to get it out.

~My blog is home to my testimony.
~I have a lot to learn.

4 of my favorite things:

~Food.  Eating.  Serving.  Enjoying.  Food.

~Taking rides with my husband--where our brain-trust comes alive.

~Mornings with my son.  I work in the evenings, so I get a chunk of time at the beginning of each day w/him.

~Forever friends.  I grew up with two brothers, and lots of cousins.  The Sisters I have made in my adult-life, who I never knew I needed, provide the love and support my soul longs for.
