The start of something great...???

I've been thinking about starting a blog for some time now and haven't really had the time.  Or, maybe I haven't made the time...either way I haven't done it.  I decided today, just a couple of minutes ago, that I would start a blog.  It will be a place that I can record all of my family happenings, and that I can write down all of the cute things our daughter says. 

So, since this is my first blog I guess I should tell you who I am and a little about me--although most people who read this will probably already know me.  I'm the mother of an amazing little four year old princess.  Her name is Dolores--we call her Lola.  She loves pink, purple, princess', fairies, anything that sparkles, dresses and high heels.  She is a girly-girl but she also likes getting dirty and playing in the mud.  She is hilarious, and super smart (too smart for our own good I always say).

I am married to my soul mate, Nick.  We have a really amazing story but I'll save that for its own blog. We just got married on October 15th of this year.  It was a beautiful wedding.  Nick just finished culinary school in June and is a chef.  He loves his work and is very passionate about it.  He is the perfect man.  He's considerate of myself and our daughter.  When he makes decisions he always takes us into consideration.  The only sport he likes is golf, and doesn't waste our Sundays or Monday nights by controlling our lives with football or NASCAR.  He helps around the house and is such a good daddy to our daughter.  Lola and I both love him very much. 

I am an administrative assistant for a non profit, pro life ministry.  I have great hours and great benefits.  They let me have time off any time I need it, which is really nice when you've got a child.  The work? Well...that's kind of another story.  While this ministry is a very good cause that I wholeheartedly agree with, office work has not proven to be my forte.  I get bored and office politics drive me bonkers.  Someday I want to work at a retail store like Lowes, The Home Depot or Menards.  Even if just as a sales associate.  For now, for my family, this is the place God wants me so I'll stay here until he decides otherwise.

I suppose this is a good start for my blog for now.  I will be adding some things that Lola has said.  I've got quite a few written in a notebook.  They're very cute.
