Well here it is- our 1st blog post.  (Cricket, Cricket)  Yes I am pretty sure this post will be the one we look back on years from now and laugh at it for its poor content and composition.  So, to save us from the later humiliation, lets all take a moment and laugh at David and I now for this terribly written blog post, and for that matter, idea that we are interesting enough to even need a blog.  Go ahead, laugh it out.  We will wait...

Done?  Thanks a lot, friend!?!  Now that that is out of the way (side note: when I use "that that" in the same sentence I always think I am making a grammatical mistake) let us move on.  It is all uphill from here!!!

Hi, my name is Andrea and I am married to Superman (no - not Henry Cavill) and his name is David.  He has the work ethic of a resident surgeon, but, unfortunately, gets paid like a computer back-up support engineer.  Go figure!  Anyways, he and I decided after 10 years of marriage and more hurdles and changes than we can count, our life has ventured into territory we never EVER imagined.  I mean NEVER!  Let me explain:

Let's do categories since I am a nerd who makes lists:

THEN

NOW

Thought home schooled kids were weird            Ate anything including a diet composed  of Spicy Cheetos, Coke, & Cane's Chicken      Raised Protestant Christians Thought sewing was also for nerds      Thought desserts had to be bad for you           Didn't care what GMO stood for Never paid attention to chemicals in toothpaste, deodorant, detergents, etc. Didn't know who J.R.R. Tolkien was (possibly made fun of D for liking the movies) Never thought we would do a blog (and never thought David would want to) Thought money was more important than time with our kids (and we spent lots of money!!!) Thought we were done having kids

Yep, we HS our kids! Eat Organic, Whole, Local, Foods & are losing weight Converted Orthodox Christians + I love to sew and share! Creating ones that aren't bad Avoid ANY food possible that is GMO Removing all harmful chemicals from our house Joined the Tolkien Train and love the books and movies! Here we are! Decided to be a 1 income family so I could be home with our girls and it was a hard but rewarding decision (This alone could be a blog!) We would like to adopt one day :)

So that is us in a nutshell.  Homeschooling, Whole Foods eating, Orthodox, crafty, semi-"crunchy", Tolkien loving, blogging, financially thrifty, possibly adoptive parents, and might I say blessed beyond measure, Oklahomans!

Stay tuned for more posts from any of the above topics (and more I'm sure!).  If you have something you would like to read about, just leave it in the comments below and we will be happy to make it happen on here!  Thanks for stopping by.
