a bit about me

okay so i really should have done this post first but oh well. A bit about me.

I am first a child of God, next a wife to my wonderful husband Lawrence, and then a mother to my two beautiful boys Gabriel (3) and Noah (2 months). My passions after that are photography, running, and haning out with the girls (you know who you are). The things i miss the most on the average day: Dianna my very bestest friend who lives way to far away in kelowna with her hunky husband Scott, my family who live way to far away in Quesnel, tazo chai frappachinos (drool), and on occasion my sanity which left me i think the week that Gabe was born. Following is a life to do list that i have compiles over the years, some things i have accomplished and some new things have been added:

Get married (done)
Have babies (done but not finished)
Go to Paris
Go to Disneyland (done)
Hike the West Coast Trail (done)
Write a novel
Write a childrends book

and some less aspiring goals:

lose my baby weight
run ferry island without having to stop
take better pictures

I like to add things to my list, i don't want to ever finish my list. I like having goals to work towards. and to finish off my get to know me post......
