Helloooooooo...

Well.. my name is Stephanie, but as Jade pointed out to me before NO ONE calls me that!! They all call me Steph. Unless my mom is mad at me. Even when my husband is mad at me he calls me babe with attitude ;).

Let's see, I am 23 years old and started life a little backwards. I DO NOT have my Masters in anything, well who am I kidding I don't even have my Associates in anything. I have a kind, loving, stubborn, wonderful husband who has made my life interesting to say the least, we have been married for 4 years (what a roller coaster that has been). We have an amazing, sensitive, big hearted, HILARIOUS 4 year old who makes life grand. We also have a chunky, quiet, knows what he wants 3 month old, who made .OUR. lives whole (for now at least)!!!

I change my mind over and over, then once more just to make sure I am making the right decisions... but they don't always seem to turn out how I expect them to in the first place. I LOVE LOVE LOVE crafting, and cooking. I love trying new recipes, I love my crock pot, and one day in the VERY near future I WILL have my Kitchen Aid mixer!!! I also love reading/writing blogs.

I can't wait to assign days to posts and share what we hope becomes like the BEST BLOG EVER!!!

Nice to meet you :D

Since, this is a new blog I figure we should at least introduce ourselves, so I will go first!

My name is Jade! Yes! Jade not Jane, or Jay, which I often get when saying my name :)

I am a substitute teacher with my Masters in Education, however thanks to the teacher layoffs that are happening in (especially) California, I have been unsuccessful at finding a job. I know so sad, when you get your degree and have a graduation party and are so excited to start your life, when what's that? There's no jobs in California? Oh wait! There is some? Oh but they're 400 miles away from where you live and your husbands job?

So for the time being I am a stay @ home wife/substitute teacher, see because the days I don't substitute I am in stay @ home wife mode :) I like crafting, baking, cooking, I don't know anything that keeps me busy and is lots of fun!

I love my husband and am truly grateful for the life that we have. We have turned into those people with lots of animals and its sad. We have 2 dogs Little Miss Marlee Muffin & Mr. Fox McCloud (yes, they're married) :) and we have a CRAZY cat named Santiago Ignacio :D (told you, crazy animal people) because yes, all 5 of us live in a one bedroom apt. BUT I wouldn't have it any other way. It's the best!

Other then that I like to find things to keep myself busy and entertained, which recently have been finding blogs and reading them. I love them, and I hope you guys love this one :)

Until next time!
