I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.

*Stretches arms, blinks, and looks around* Good morning, Interwebz! I hope you have not missed me too terribly. It’s not entirely my fault, you know. I’ve only recently emerged from a vampire-induced coma. Yep, in less than a week, I read all four books – one of them twice as I impatiently awaited the chance [...]
