Beginning

I feel like since this is my first entry on our blog, that I should introduce myself. Hi. My name is Heather, I live on a "farm" (more on the quotations later) in northwestern Pennsylvania. I am a wife to my dear gluten free husband, a mom to two boys ( 6 and 4 ), a male dog, a male cat,  and two male gerbils...Hands Up! They have me surrounded! I work part time as an RN at an independent surgery center, and the rest of the time I take care of "the boys".
My sister and I grew up in South Dakota, where she still lives. At age 17 I ran away from home and joined the Navy. I had one of the most boring Navy careers anyone has ever heard of, Ha! However, I met my husband, fell in love (awhhhh) and he dragged me to Pennsylvania where we have made our life.
I am crafty, but not always very good at it. I like to cook and bake and am on the recent adventure of making our home gluten free. And, I do things that are "hippie"  but try not to be weird about it.

My turn, because even though I might say I don't like to talk about myself, I really, really do. ;-)

I'm Jennifer, the older sister. Although at this point, the three year age difference doesn't matter until I'm 40 and she's not. Believe me, she'll remind me regularly.

Though I live in South Dakota, I do not live on a farm. I can see corn field from my back yard, but I am strictly Midamerican suburbanite. I freak out if my internet service goes down, because then I couldn't shop online. For shoes.

Ten years ago I began dating a race car driver, against my better judgement. I mean really. Race cars? But it worked out, and now we are happily married with an almost potty-trained son. And there are currently no race cars in my life. (I win!)

I work in health insurance, and since no one cares about it but me, I won't talk about that. 

I write fiction. Ok, I write first drafts of fiction. I'm still working on the edit process, so someone other than Heather will be allowed to read what I write. And when writing stresses me out, I knit and crochet. Usually hats. To match my shoes.

We will post random stuff-isms that happen to us, or things that just make us say "I should post that." Join us, and comment as the whim strikes you! We want to know that others are as crazy as us...
