My first blog entry! Yay
I should start by introducing myself. My name is Sharon, and I am 29 years old. I am married to my very best friend, and high school sweetheart. We have been married for almost 5 years! Wow! Time flies when you're having fun. I can close my eyes, and still remember the proposal. I am also a mom to two amazing boys; Darien(5 years), Dylan (9months). They are my world, but I'm in a new state of constantly reminding myself that I was here first. I told myself that this year, I will put myself more. I never want to lose my identity in caring for my husband, and kids.
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist, but the road to get there was LONG. I was that untraditional student that didn't know what she wanted to do. My uncle always told me to "stay in school until you figure it out." In hindsight, great advice..but EXPENSIVE! My great grandkids will be paying off my loans. I've had about 4-5 majors. I started college, dead set on being a journalist. When I actually started taking courses in that field, I realized that I hated it...but I loved the writing part. That led me into English. I double majored in Speech, and English for awhile. However, it began to be too much for me, and I had to drop one. So, I ended up with an English minor. School was long, and hard..but I am very well educated. I know a little about everything.
Right now, I am in the process of earning my license in Speech-Language Pathology. It is a 9 month process if you are working full time. I've never felt so lost, and exhilarated all at once. That "ah-ha" moment when you know exactly how to help your client is an amazing feeling. You can never be bored. I am constantly challenged. It makes me want to do more, and learn more.
My family life is a rollercoaster. My oldest son is my mini me in every way. He is definitely a mama's boy. From the first day I laid eyes on him, I knew he was mines. We just had an instant connection. I call him my little linguist, because his language is ridiculous for a 5 year old. He's also very slick with the tongue. However, he knows where the line is. He creeps up to the line, taps it, and falls back. I get so annoyed, but I realize it's karma. My mom said that I always had to have the last word...not much has changed since then :). He's such a busy kid. He does gymnastics, and karate 12 months of the year. He also does swimming, cooking class, and soccer seasonally. My husband and I are like his chauffeur. He sits in the back of the car reading, using the iPad, eating, or being the worst backseat driver. We have a weekly schedule of who drives Dari to his classes. Most of the time, I don't mind it. I even sit, and observe his classes. He loves the support, and I like to see the progress. It's also a great way to spend time with him. He's such a busy kid, so I have to get in quality time whenever I can. Other times, I don't like driving him around. I even resent it. Then I remember how blessed I am to have a family, and a career. I think it's our nature to always desire what we don't have. Sometimes I am envious of my friends that are single, and without kids. I remember those days. However, everything I accomplish means so much to me because I have a husband at home waiting to hear my news, and I have kids to love on and inspire.
My baby boy Dylan is a moody little cutie. I call him my lazy baby. He refuses to exert himself. Up until recently, he was very laid back, and calm. I think being around my oldest son is turning him into a wild beast! Labor with him was hell! He just didn't want to come out. As a result, I had to have a c section. I remember the doctor trying to pull him out. My whole body was rocking with the pull motion. He really didn't want to come out! When she finally got him out, he had such an angry scowl on his face. He was also GINORMOUS ! 9lbs 9oz. No wonder I couldn't push him out! He would have ripped me down to my butthole!! High on morphine in the recovery room, I held my baby close. However, this one is definitely a daddy's boy. He lights up when he sees his daddy. I actually think it's incredibly sweet. My husband works alot, so it makes him feel good to know that his baby boy is waiting for him to come home.
My husband and I are now getting back into the groove with eachother. Having a baby can be a strain on your personal time together. It becomes all about the baby, and also making sure our oldest son feels extra loved. It also takes time for hormones to balance out after having kids. This time around, mines were out of whack up for awhile! So I was in that "don't touch me" type of mode. Now that we're over that hump, it's like falling in love all over again. I am so in love with my husband. He's kind, considerate, outgoing. I can take him to my speech conferences, and I know that he will be a great conversationalist. He has his vices, but so do I. We just accept eachother, and build up one another to new heights. I can't wait to celebrate our 5th year anniversary!
So I hope you guys like what you have read, and will subscribe to my weekly blog. It will be about any, and everything that comes to mind: Marriage, my juicing quest, family, raising kids in the city, friendship, speech chronicles, sex, etc.. I have thoughts, and experiences about all of these things.

Sharon :)
