first blog, round 1!

Hi everyone.  Let's see. As the title says, this is my first blog.  So I guess I will start by telling you all a bit more about me.  My name is Regina.  I just turned 30 at the end of May.  I am the mother of two wonderful(most of the time)  little boys aged 6 and a soon to be 3 year old.  I have been married to my husband and best friend for 6 years(though we have known each other since high school).  I am a stay at home mom currently, and am going to school for early childhood education.  In my free time(usually a few hours each night after the kids go to bed...haha) I like to watch tv (some of my favorite shows are trueblood, grimm, supernatural, switched at birth, bones, friends[an oldie but goody:P]), read(i love fantasy books, and i am anxiously awaiting the print copy release of The Sweet Life....Sweet Valley High characters leading their adult lives).  

There is a lot going on in our lives at the moment.  We are relocating to Wisconsin.  This is the biggest one.  We are currently living in Arlington Heights, IL(for the next week anyhow). The cost of things out here just keep going up, with no relief in sight.  There is no government help for families who are working hard to try to help themselves.  WE feel a fresh start in Wisconsin is in order, because the only people we know there are my husband's family, whom we will be staying with until we find a place out there either in Genoa City or Lake Geneva.

The next milestone would be my oldest starting first grade this fall.  It seems like it was only yesterday I was walking him down the street to Ivy Hill for Kindegarten.  My baby is growing up so fast.  And my 3 year old will be starting preschool as soon as I can get him into a program there.  Again,it seems like yesterday that I was in the hospital having them(they are 3 years and 2 weeks apart) and both boys at their time would fall asleep in my chest after a bottle.  Now they are walking, talking, running, and destroying  :P They are my boys and I will always love them and be there for them.

I guess that's enough for the first post :) more to follow, as I also love to write.  Its easier this way though, because I dont have to keep track of an extra notebook haha.  Thanks for stopping by to check this out and have a great weekend.

The task of being a parent are many.  Parenthood doesn't come with instructions.  WE raise our kids to be the best person they can possibly be within our means and know how.
