Who I Am

My name is Heather. I am a working, blogging, sarcastic mother of two, wife of one. I like show tunes, brownie batter, and Ralph Macchio. I have an above-average husband, the Dude. We've been together since 2002, and married since 2005. He is 4 years older than me and I remind him of that every chance I can. We have two handsome, ornery, sweet, ornery, daring, active, exhausting, ornery boys. Currently D2 is 4 and B-dubs is 3. They are 14 months apart; I've only heard "someone was busy" about 8342 times.

When I was in college, I used to toy with the idea of writing a book. I mean, I was already writing about 12 papers a semester anyway; how could a book be any harder? About the time I was turning 30 I started to really reflect on the challenges and  experiences I've had and how they have shaped my outlook on life. While I watched post after post from classmates on FB expressing fear and dread over turning 30, I embraced it. I had been waiting for this birthday since I was 16. I like to say 30 is the only year where my mental age will match my chronological age. (I intend to keep it that way too!) Well, writing a book apparently is much harder than a college paper. Blogging seems to be a happy medium. Thus, 30 on life was born.  Each week As often as I can, I hope to bring you my perspective on a different topic.

In my very, very  limited down time, I also enjoy scrapbooking, painting, and other crafty things. I will post some of my creations from time to time too.
