Another beginning

So, this will make the 4th blog I've ever had. I started out at Dead Journal, moved on to Greatest Journal, then made my home at Myspace for the last few years. Now that Myspace is pretty much Deadspace, and no friends or anyone I even know even visits Myspace anymore, I needed a new place to call "home".

A little introduction is in order. My name is Katie, and I'm an alcoholic. Hah! Just kidding!! I'm 25, married, and a proud momma. I have a little boy, Emery, who will be 2 this year. I'm also baking his baby brother/sister at the moment, who is due to meet us in November. My husband, Jon, is 27 and works as a civilian contractor to the Army. We met each other 7 years ago when he was in the Navy. We got married on 10/15/05 and have been happily married since. We're pretty opposite on almost everything. The night we met, I was decked out in Hot Topic gear, and he... well, he was a poster child for American Eagle. Needless to say, we work through our differences and love each other for them. We keep each other balanced, he's the yin to my yang :) He likes to play video games and guitar, as do I except for the guitar... which I will get to later.

I'm a paralegal by day. I handle lots of family law matters, mainly divorces and custody matters. I've thought about law school, but I think it would interfere with my having a family life. My main joy in life is being with the ones I love and being a wife and mother.

I have very outspoken opinions on issues of politics, religion, and so forth. I'm conservative, and not ashamed of it. I'm Christian, and not ashamed of that either. I'm VERY pro-life. Though I'm set in my views, I'm tolerant to the views of others... I will just never ever ever ever agree with a pro-choicer.

I love music, art, writing, reading, and crafts. I've always been involved with music. I play all saxes, and piano. I've dabbled with guitar but have never had any formal teaching. Jon taught guitar and I used to teach piano, but we have never found a happy medium to have enough patience with each other for lessons to work between us. I also have a soft spot for animals. Growing up, I always wanted to be a veterinarian but that math and science thing kind of bit me in the butt. We have two dogs (pomeranians- Gir & Ruxpin), a cat (Gaz), a scarlet macaw who Jon hates (Skittles aka "Blyurd"), and a fish tank containing three very territorial and mean fish who kill everything and everybody else.

I have an awe for science, but I'm a woman of faith. I definitely believe in intelligent design... life couldn't exist without it. I am amazed by the universe and the many mysteries it contains. I believe in the paranormal, I mean you can't be Christian and worship the "Holy Spirit" without a belief in the paranormal. Jesus himself was supernatural, in oh so many ways. The reproductive process is also an interest of mine. Everything from ovulation to actual birth is incredible.... researching it just makes me want to praise God for his miracles... because every baby truly is. I've assisted in 3 births, and I went through natural child birth with Emery. I didn't even have an IV for fluid. My mother's a midwife, so I guess you could say that's what sparked my curiosity on the subject (at a pretty young age, I should add). She's definitely the best mom to have around when you're pregnant, that's for sure!

Anyways, that's just a rough start about yours truly. I have a love for life. Hopefully this blog will explore that. I can't promise that every blog will be this tasteful. I have my days, and my own raunch factor. Being pregnant will also promise some hormonal blogs from time to time. So... that's it in a nutshell. Here's a thanks in advance to anyone who chooses to read further.
