Howdy, Y'all. Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere.I'm a full-time stay-at-home mom, raising 4 Peanuts and tending to a great hubby. I'm 37 years old, and older than Texan Papa by a year and a half. I am patiently waiting to go back to teaching high school math, once the Peanuts are a little bit older. I love to read and sew and scrapbook and raise vegetables. I also love to shop and go out with friends and meet new people. I guess I can't figure out if I'm a country girl or a city slicker.
The Texan Family moved down here in April '08. I'm a Texas transplant and the Lone Star state is growing on me. We currently live in the DFW area, but my hometown is St. Louis, Missouri (Where did YOU go to high school?). Besides growing up there I have also lived in Wisconsin, rural IL, and even Ireland (for a semester in college).
Texan Papa is a Lutheran (LCMS) pastor, but not currently ministering in a parish. He loves to fish and I tolerate that. We got married in 1998; a short 8 months and 3 days after we met. Sometimes we don't always see eye-to-eye, but he's been the only guy I've ever dated who didn't let me push him around. I guess you could say, we take turns wearing the pants in our family.
My Peanuts are: Peppermint Patty (9 y.o. - sensitive, sweet, easygoing, a "mother hen"), Charlie Brown (8 y.o. - quiet, intelligent, introspective, helper), Linus (6 y.o. - precocious, energetic, LOUD, athletic), and Baby Sally (22 months - stubborn, great sleeper, smiler, daddy's girl).
I love sunflower seeds, diet Coke, and Hershey's Kisses. I am addicted to buying infomercial products. I could sit around all day doing math problems. I was a Girl Scout from Kindergarten all the way till college. I'm double-jointed in my hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, and jaw. My favorite childhood memory was going to Velvet Freeze with my Mom & Dad and getting a scoop of Swiss Chocolate ice cream on a sugar cone. I like to exercise but I have trouble getting myself to the gym. I love to bargain hunt and I rarely pay full price for anything. But mostly I'm just a lady who is trying to get a balance between being a great wife, a decent mom, a caring friend, and a faithful child of God. Every day is a new challenge but I'm up for it!

So I'm a dummy who just found this page with all these photos - you are GORGEOUS people! Not that I had visions of you being unattractive, but seriously. Those babies are out of this world adorable, and you & your man are just precious sweet cute :D
Please tell me this hasn't ALWAYS been here. And for the record, I totally always pictured you as blonde. LOL
I didn't see you like that at all. I saw you all "studious and dishwater brown with a permanent frazzled look".
Oh wait. That's me.
And I'm sending you an email with a cool-guy offer. (if i find your email. Otherwise, email me!)
