Wow!  I still cannot believe that I am a mother.  My little Presley is 15 months old and has been the biggest joy in my life.  This is not my first Mother’s Day, it is my SECOND mother’s day.  WOW! Time sure does fly by fast.  It still seems like yesterday when I brought her home from the hospital.  There are times when I can’t believe that I am mature enough to operate a vehicle, balance a checkbook and write bills, much less be a mother.  Apparently, God thinks that I am mature enough and capable, however there are times when I beg to differ.  I wouldn’t have it any other way though!  I don’t even remember what life was like without Presley and even now I can’t bare to be away from her more than a few hours.  She is my little buddy and we have so much fun together.  I love her, and I love being her mom! 

Finally I might be able to keep this thing up dated.  My wife sends out an email bullying people into reading a blog that is never updated.  Maybe I can keep this thing updated and give people a reason to come by.

People always ask me why I decided to be a private investigator, here is why….

Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to be a private investigator.  My sister and I grew up watching Charlie’s Angels.  We never missed an episode.  I was actually named after Jacklyn Smith.  Her name was Kelly on the show (my dad had a crush on her). I remember watching Matlock and wanting to be Conrad (the black guy that was Matlock’s investigator). I was so jealous of him.  I wanted his job!  Growing up, my friends and I always played “private investigator”.  I remember having an old suitcase and using that as my briefcase.  I would put a flashlight in the briefcase along with some “top secret files” and my friends and I would play Charlie’s Angels all day long. We would carry our walkie-talkies around the house and we would pretend that we were sneaking in people’s houses and looking through filing cabinets for evidence.  We would turn all the lights off in the house and use our flashlights to guide us to the evidence. 

After I graduated high school I ended up talking myself out of going to school to be a private investigator.  I just thought it didn’t seem like a very practical career at the time.  After spending three years as an elementary school teacher, I realized that I was not doing what I was passionate about, so I decided to make a change.  It was time for my childhood dreams to come true and actually become the private investigator that I always wanted to be.  So here I am.  I work at a well-known private investigative agency, I have my walkie-talkies (nextels), my briefcase, my spy equipment (video camera and GPS), and I actually have a badge (I didn’t have a badge when I was eight years old). I say all of that to say…Dreams do come true. 

Sometimes I have to pinch myself.

Work has been boring lately.  I haven’t done surveillance in almost a month.  I am sitting at work hoping that somebody will go cheat on their husband or wife, so that I can go follow them.  Is it bad that I pray at night that somebody will go cheat?  Hey, Adam and I have to pay our bills too.  Unfortunately, it is the bad guys that help pay our bills.  My boss said that more cases will come in during the summer.  Supposedly, more people tend to cheat during the summer.  Maybe I can follow somebody to the beach.  I am bored and wondering where all the bad guys are.

One of the two amazing women in my life.

I love Oakleaf Church because:

1. I get to wear my jeans to church
2. The pastor almost makes me pee in my pants.  Never met a pastor who does that.
3. The Word is simple and applicable
4. Anybody can come to our church-no matter who you are or what you look like
5. The atmosphere is relaxed.  I have anxiety in serious situations and can’t handle super-serious churches.  ( I am too “La De Da” for serious churches.  HaHa)
6. I get to watch people get tattoos-never done that before
7. I get to watch eggs fall out of the sky.  Maybe next year it will be the bunny.
8. The nursery workers love my little Presley and take good care of her.
9. I feel needed at my church, and I love to serve wherever I can.
10. I love the idea of “Dominating” in our community!
11. We have met great people in our small group, and they have become our good friends and people who we can do life together.

Hello everyone.  I feel the need to respond to the previous comments about me.  First of all Kelly got it right when she said she had a good man.  However she should add HOT, SEXY, and STUDLY to that list. 

As far as the grass thing goes…SO WHAT.  I like grass. 

Now on to the competition thing I am a competitive person.  I always find a way to win.  I just don’t want Kelly to feel inferior to me.  We can’t even play board games because she get frustrated with losing to me all the time. 

I want to end this post with a big announcement.  Kelly has signed on with a modeling agency.  You can see her first ever photo spread in this months National Geographic. For more details just shoot her an email. 

I think that I have finally arrived at a place in life where I am completely 100% comfortable in my own skin.   I am still in my twenties, but I am not at the awkward stage where I am trying to figure things out in life and where everything seems so uncertain like:

• Will I ever finish college?
• Will I get married?
• Will I have children?
• Will I ever have a mortgage?

I hated that stage in life because the pressure was so immense.  Everyone was looking at you for answers…”What are you going to do with your life?” Today was a hectic morning at the house with trying to get Presley out the door and head to work, but at some point this morning I looked around and realized that I have everything that I ever wanted in life.   I have a good husband, a precious little girl who I adore more than anything in this world, I am working my dream job, and I am at a place in life where I am unapologetic about who I am.  What you see is what you get.  Either you like me or you don’t.  Either I like you or I don’t.  No apologies.

So, I’ve been thinking about some things that Adam and I can start doing as a couple.  We haven’t really found a hobby that we both enjoy and are willing to do together.  I suggested to Adam last night that maybe we can start playing tennis, running, working-out, etc. as a couple.  He told me that doing things together (like sports) are not possible because he is “too competitive for me”.  WOW!  I played sports in high school (basketball and softball) and have always considered myself an athlete and competitive, but my husband begs to differ. He said that I am too “La De Da” when I play.  Basically, he is saying that I don’t take the games serious like he does.  However, Adam is also the person that pouts when he doesn’t win, and he is the guy who always gets mad and takes his ball and goes home when the game does not go his way.  ( I love you baby, but it has to be said).  So, after our small group had a discussion about setting boundaries in marriage, and how we determine whether we are happy in the marriage and not what our spouse does or says that determines if we are happy or not, I decided to not get mad at my husbands response to playing sports together, instead I went back to the drawing board to think of some ideas that we can do as a couple (ignore the run-on sentence).  And here it is, our blog. I have decided to start a blog today for both of us.  This is mine and Adam’s blog that we have as a couple. Instead of running or golfing together, we will be blogging together.  I know he will love this idea.  I have chosen the title as “The Honeymooners”, because if you know anything about me and Adam you will know that our marriage is just like the old show “The Honeymooners”.  I thought I would add some comical relief to our current situation as we persevere in our marriage and as I “suffer for righteousness sake”.  Just Kidding!  The title is fitting though, and I hope that Adam and I don’t get “too competitive” in our new hobby.  Also, I have chosen the theme with the grass because Adam has a weird obsession with grass and baseball fields.  He loves to touch grass, and he loves to touch every baseball field that we drive by.  So, instead of choosing a theme that was pink and bubbly, I chose the grass.  Just for you honey.
