Welcome....

Welcome to my blog! I've started this blog to keep everyone informed on what is happening in our life. This first post will serve as some important background information to keep everyone straight in our posts...
I am the librarian - I work in a high school library. I started out as a seventh and eighth grader teacher. I LOVE my high school students. Trust me, you would too after spending six years in an enclosed classroom with 20 students an hour that are in the midst of puberty. I love my job and my favorite part is opening new boxes of books. NOTHING beats the smell of a new book. However, I have decided that I want to be more involved in my student's life for their well-being, and am halfway through a program to get my administrative certificate. I do this six weekends a semester.
I am married to my war hero - He just got home from being in Kuwait/Afghanistan for nine months. I'm so happy to have him home. He is a man of many passions - all involve the outdoors. I'm not so fond of the outdoors but luckily we strike a happy balance. He likes wine..I like wine..it all evens out.
We have four children, each of us brought two from our first marriages. They all live with us..and will be referred to by the following:
Hunting Boy - Hunting boy is 13. He loves to hunt, ride dirtbikes, and is obviously war hero's son. He also plays basketball, football, and track. Last year, was his first year in track and he went to state. He is also very smart when he applies himself.
Busybody Girl - Busybody girl is 11. She knows what is going with everything and everybody. She's the leader of the gang of the kids that live in my house. She's a straight A student, and is involved in basketball, softball, and student council. When she grows up, she wants to be a plastic surgeon.
Sports Boy - Sports boy is 10. Him and Busybody girl do everything together. He loves sports and video games. He plays football, baseball and does Cub Scouts. Currently, he is getting A's and B's, the best grades ever. He's trying really hard.
Princess Girl - She is 5. She's the baby of the family, and the girly girl. She does dance and tumbling. She is mischievous, bossy and think she's always right. When she grows up she wants to a librarian. Enough said!
Here they are...
