Finally, home from work so I can post!!
I'm StitchIsOurHero or SIOH (which is much easier to type!) aka Brooke
. I'm 30 years old, and I have been married to my wonderful DH for 7 years (8 in December). We haven't been able to have kids yet. . .that may happen, it may not--
. For right now though, we just have a blast together--I guess we're just big kids ourselves! We have 3 dogs (Buster, Keaton & Lucy) and 2 cats (Fish & Maggy). It's like my own little Animal Kingdom!
I'm a high school guidance counselor in the town where I grew up (about 30 miles south of where we live) in a very rural area (amazingly enough, where KAMommy grew up, too. . .we just didn't know each other yet!
). It is a CRAZY job--some days crazier than others--but at least there's never a dull moment! My dream is that one day DH will get a job close to WDW and we can move down there, so I can work there part-time.
I started scrapping 8 years ago as a way to bond with then-future-MIL. The love of scrapping stuck--the bonding, we're not too sure about!
I love it! I do a family album every year (starting with when we started dating), and I do an album for each of our vacations--I'm behind, but you know, it's ok! I'll get there! I'm also a swapaholic--admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
I am Disney-obsessed! I am one of those crazy people who has something Disney on every day at work. People just shake their heads!
I went to WDW twice as a child (not a good experience--middle of July, horrible crowds, my dad doesn't do crowds well, you get the idea). In college, I worked for the athletic department, and I went to WDW as part of 2 bowl trips to babysit the coaches' kids (the ONLY way I ever got on TOT). DH & I have been to WDW 8 times together, since 2002. We are going to the parks a couple of days and then to Vero Beach in June. We were supposed to get to go in October '07 with KAMommy & crew (we vacation with them a lot!), but due to DH's crappy work (just found this out today), we can't. Someone took his week. So, we're going to try to go in September for our 10th trip together--and maybe con my parents into going to show them the "magic" of WDW!
If I'm not scrapping or doing work I carried home from work, I'm watching "Gilmore Girls", "Law & Order" (any of them--that's where the Dun-DUN in my tag comes from) or "CSI" (again, put CSI in the name, and I'll watch it. I also love reading, when I get time.
Ok, that's a big novel--more about me than you ever wanted to know!!
ETA: Hope, I failed art in middle school! My mom taught Language Arts at that school, and the art teacher told her that I had "absolutely no" artistic ability. My scrapbooks aren't the most detailed or beautiful, but when my mom sees them, she says "Would you like to go show these to Mrs. What's her name to show her that you did do something artistic?"
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BUFFY!!
