Day 1: introduce, recent picture, & 15 interesting facts.





I'm DJ, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a Navy wife and Momma of one (soon to be two!). My wonderful husband, Tim, and I have two babies: Kylee Marie, who is 14 months old; and Bentley William who is due December 19th. We live in San Diego, CA but both are originally from West Virginia. I L O V E San Diego! I could live here forever.

I guess this isn't really THAT recent, but it's really one of the only pictures I have of myself lately. Being a Momma = Taking picture of the baby! Plus I look the same. haha.

15 Interesting Facts:



1. My babies (hubby included!) are my entire world. I honestly don't know what I would do without any of them - even Mr. B who has yet to make his grand entrance into our world. I love the life that we've built.



2. I'm a proud Navy wife - but I don't go overboard. I don't think I deserve any sort of special privileges, I don't run or bake for charities, and I don't participate in the FRG or any other random group. I'd rather cut my arm off than attend any ship function or Christmas party. However, the wives that I have met (baby maker kickers<3) are GREAT friends. There's NOTHING like the bond between two military wives going through a deployment. There just isn't. And I love Elaina. That is all.



3. I love going to church. I've gone ever since I was born and I'm so glad I had parents that raised me in a Christian home.



4. I really want to build a house.. I pretty much have the layout all worked out in my head.



5. I love planning things, especially youth churchy things!



6. If I could do anything in this world, I'd be on Broadway.



7. Being a Mommy is the best thing in this world!! I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. But, I'm not sure if I want anymore after Bentley. (Key words: not sure)



8. I have a LOT of fears. Drowning, fires, being alone, my babies being kidnapped, birds, bugs, rodents, mold, pretty much anything gross.. I DESPISE anything that flies, seriously. Butterflies, moths, flying bugs; ew, ew, ew. It's just not natural.



9. I wish Hogwarts was real. Just saying.



10. Sometimes I feel like my life is a waiting game and I forget to "live."



11. October is my favorite month. I LOVE Halloween so much. The decorations, the Disney movies, pumpkins, everything! When Walmart starts selling "pumpkin spice" candles - my whole year is instantly better.



12. I can't stand stupid, negative, and immature people. I've done a good deal of "cutting out" those people in my life. I honestly just don't have the time to deal with the drama. I'm sorry your life sucks - but I have kids to take care of and bills to pay. Come back and chat with me when your parents stop paying for everything.



13. I can tell if I'm going to get along with someone within .5 seconds of talking to them.



14. Now that we have kids, I LOVE Christmas! I spend months figuring out what Santa will bring and what will go in stockings. I've even been searching for our 2010 ornament since we'll have Bentley this year!



15. I haaaaaaaaaate being pregnant. Detest it. I always wanted to be one of those glowing, beautiful pregnant women, but I'm just not. I hurt, I feel huge, I throw up, and I hate the waiting. It's just no fun for me. If I could just pop the kid out the day after I get the + sign, I'd be one happy camper!
