Let's Begin...

I am what you would call a "Married-Single Parent". If you are wondering what that really means, well it means my husband travels a lot so when the shit hits the fan, I am the one to scrape it off the ceiling. Now if you had told me at 16 that at 32 I would have two sons, three dogs, a house, a job, pay all the bills and have a husband that is gone a big chunk of the week so I would be doing most of this on my own, I would have laughed at you and most likely told you were drinking more than you should. However, this is what my life has become and I love almost every single second of it. Hey every second can't be roses.


Beckett is my oldest and he is proud to say that I have let him live to see 9. Beckett is what my mother likes to call "pay-back-for-all-the-things-you-did-to-me-as-a-child" to that all I can say is that there is no way I was that difficult so he must be "pay-back-for-all-the-things-that-JOSH-did-as-a-child". To be honest, Beckett is a great kid and I wouldn't trade him for the world. He is caring and sweet and thinks I am a lunatic which is fine by me because let's face it, he is not far off. He would do anything for anyone as long as it made them happy and he will be friends with any and all because he doesn't want anyone to feel like they are an "outsider"

Then there is Gibson he is my baby and at the ripe old age of 6 he has already proved that sarcasm is the best way to deal with life. Gibson tells it like it is and doesn't mind if you do the same to him, in fact he prefers it. Gibson will make you work to show him you are worthy of his friendship but once you are his friend, he will be your friend for life. Gibson is a "Momma's Boy" and that is just the way I like it. He loves to sit with me and just hang out, he doesn't really need to be entertained or expect anything. Now the other thing you need to know about him is that he is "the mastermind" of most questionable activities that happen around here. He somehow has the ability to manipulate his brother and then make it look like he was not involved at all. We joke that Beckett will set the world on fire and Gibson will be right behind him with the matches.

So that is the beginning, just a little introduction to the family. We are, who we are and we invite you into our lives and into our craziness.

Love,
Kristin
