Introductions Are In Order

I have had this blog lying around for over a year now. I never really posted anything but a couple recipes and what-nots. Time to change that. It's time to open up and blog more. So, here goes...

The name's Kim (or Michelle to some). I am a licensed massage therapist. I work at a day spa - which, for some reason, I love. I am a full time momma to two wonderful lovelies. C and E are the lights of my life; they make every. single. day. worth living and surviving. C is a feisty redhead (don't know where he gets that from...) and E is a strawberry blonde diva-in-training. Ever read "Where the Wild Things Are"? Yea, that was written about my kids. True story.

I am a recent graduate (from massage school) and divorcee. Divorce. It's a crazy thing. It turns your world upside down, and not in the best of ways. Life has taken me for a ride, but I'm hanging on tight and allowing things to happen. It's hard to not stress during difficult times - very hard. I'm still learning to deal with what life hands me and not lose hair over the small or big things. I was married for 6 years - 6 not-so-happy years. I'm still trying to re-learn how to love and live life without being scared or regretting things.

With all that said, I am not single. I have an amazing boyfriend who is showing me how to love and be loved. He is great with my children, and they love him more than sliced bread. I'm pretty sure E and I will vie for his attention FOR.EVER. He's amazing. As I type this, he's sitting across the room gaming. I don't think he's aware of my affections towards him - fully aware, that is. Mark my words, I'm going to marry this boy. One day.

I am an inspired person. I try to make the most out of the small things in life. I have BIG, but attainable, goals. Pre-med is in my very near future. I am a professional student, if you can believe it. I am the epitomy of nerdiness (or intellectual badass-ness). Anatomy fascinates me.

I love reading, cooking, crafting, crocheting, massaging, the outdoors, and much MUCH more. I have the brain and imagination of an eternal 5 year old. I love kittens, bubbles, flowers, sunshine, kites, fields, glitter, cupcakes, and vintage stuff. Yes, my daydreams often include kittens bounding through a field of flowers, while I am blowing bubbles and flying a kite. Told you - eternal 5 year old. I am FOREVER smiling - even through the pain. My red hair and smile are my signatures. I have a weakness for bows and rainbows. I'm ALL girly. The frillier the better.

Welp, I think that about covers most of it. I'm sure we'll delve more into my childish mindset as we progress through this blog.

-Michelle
