A moment ago a felt inspired and started this whole blog process. Once upon a time I did this at least weekly. Just pouring out recent thoughts to anyone who might read it, which I am not sure anyone really did. However, it helped.

So here we are again, writing. On a blog. I guess I feel I have something to say, that I hope might help someone, or just be honest about where I am at in life right now. I suppose that is always the hope, right, to be able to help others in one way or another. To make one laugh or let them know they are not the only one to experience such things!!

So you might be asking who I am:

My name is Dawna, I live in the Midwest. I have been married for close to 15 years, which is crazy to me, doesn’t feel like that long, but then it does. We dated for 5 years prior, and that my friend was a rocky road. He is a Police Officer, which I never once saw myself as an LEO wife. Never. Nor did I see myself falling for a Marine! It really is amazing who captures your heart! I also couldn’t be more proud to be his wife!

We have three truly amazing kids, although I am sure most parent’s say that about their children. Even on the hard days when teenage hormones are raging and my youngest keeps pushing the boundaries. They are still mine, and I am so grateful for them!

We have three animals: Charlie Sirius Black, our 11 month old Great Pyrenees, Luna Rey Lovegood, our 5 month old Golden retriever, and Gizmo, our 5 yo Tabby Cat! If you cannot tell by the names, we are a Harry Potter/Star Wars loving family.

My husband and I met at our church, got to know each other traveling back and forth for Harp & Bowl and his rough exterior ended up giving way to this kind hearted man who I couldn’t see living without. So you will probably hear a lot about our relationship with God and how that shapes our lives on a daily basis. Cause it is a big part of our lives. Even when we are stubborn and don’t want to hear it!

One more thing you should probably know is that we are a homeschooling family. I have been homeschooling my kiddos for about 10 years, geez, another no way moment for me!! That, my friend, has also been a road I didn’t think I would walk, it has been a journey all it’s own!

Anyway, I am sure there is more I could say. But I feel that is all I have for now!

Thanks for reading!
