hello

Im raven! Just wanted to share thoughts on life with the world around me, and maybe share in some other strangers lives. I love to learn from everything. I will start by telling you all that I am 27 yrs old and the wife of a wonderful man, and the mother of two beautiful kids. Before you start yawning, know that with all of these awesome people I am responsible for, comes alot of happiness, sadness, drama and high points. All of which without, I would not be whole. I love my life, and though sometimes I wish I could be stuck on a remote island, just me and a martini, for better or worse, here I come!

Let me start by telling you that i am a wife of a US Marine. The military life isnt for everyone, but in my opinion I dont have it as bad a lot of others. My man isnt on the frontlines, he doesnt deploy all the time, he doesnt drink, and this job has allowed us to construct a life together that is mostly decent. Definitely not a fairytale by any means, but reasonable.

My kids are young. 18 months and 5 months. Beautiful, perfect angels with crooked halos. God help me I never want to go through pregnancy again, and though this has been a wild ride and fun as hell, I never want to be responsible for another human again. SO no more kids for me. CANT WAIT TO NEVER CHANGE A DIAPER AGAIN. My 18 month old should be potty trained, but he refuses. He will tell you when he needs to poop, then do it in his pants after sitting on the potty for a half hour. Ive tried everything I can think of. 5 Minutes ago, he did this, then stuck his finger in the back of his training pants searching for gold i think lol. Patience is a virtue..... I have some, and a sense of humor. But a part of me longs for those days of selfishness when i can sleep till noon if I feel the need, or go to the bathroom in peace.

And yes I have 2 male dogs, Rocket and JJ. A yellow lab and an Italien Greyhound. My yellow lab is 3 legged since he ran in front of a car. And JJ is HYPER and loveable. Just like my husband. He is houdini, can get out of every fence, and he thinks he is a pitbull, the way he growls at any shadow that comes around.

So this is our introduction. I will be back with stories and laughter and tears. You can bet on it.
