Introducing...

Hi!  My name is Kellie.  I am many things to many people.  Most importantly, I am a Wife, a Mom, a Christian, and an RN in L&D.  I've decided to create this blog to give advise, opinions, and facts about life in general!  I am no expert, by any means, but I have experienced many things over the years that may be helpful to someone.  So, here it goes...

Let's start at the beginning.  I am a born and raised Okie.  I have lived here the entirety of my 32 years.  I love Oklahoma.  Some might question why? or how?  I would tell you that you have to live here to be a believer.  I have been married to my husband, Troy, for almost 11 years.  My husband is from Oregon and he got stuck in Oklahoma when he decided to marry me.  We have 3 beautiful children, Collette-9, Dakota-6, and Elliott-4.  They make our life very interesting and busy.  I wouldn't have it any other way, though.  We live on 10 acres with 3 dogs and all the wild life that you could imagine.  At one point we had 5 goats, 16 chickens, 4 dogs, and a bird.  We have since downsized.  The 3 dogs are way more manageable.  I have been an RN for a little over 5 years now.  The 5 years before that I was a scrub tech in L&D.  The last 5 years I have worked as an RN in L&D and a Pediatric Case Manager at a home health agency.  I absolutely love being a nurse and caring for people.  In my free time, I homeschool my kids, coach 3rd grade basketball, and run the children's ministry at our church. 

After typing all of that, I realized that I sound like a crazy person.  When do I sleep?  Free time?  What's that?  I figure that I can sleep plenty either a) when my kids are older or b) when I die.  You only live once, right?  My free time is very limited.  Luckily, I have an amazing husband who gives me nights off whenever I need them. 

Check back soon.  I am planning on tackling all kinds of interesting issues.  I am looking forward to your feedback on the issues that I bring up.
