About {Me, Myself, and I}

My name is Karen.

That is my family.

This is my blog, where I write about anything and everything.

I have been married to my husband, Clay, for over 8 years. We met at Clemson University when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore and have been together ever since.

Clay is in the Army. I think he is absolutely perfect for me, which is why I married him. That and my parents paid him $4000 to take me off their hands. To read more about our military adventures, click here.

We currently live in Virginia (but have called a variety of places in the United States home) with our three-year-old son, Weston, who just finished composing his third symphony. He also likes to stick things up his nose. I am also currently pregnant with a little girl who is scheduled to make her appearance this summer. Our chocolate lab, Lucy, and fat cat, Desi, also demand our time and money.

1. I am enamored with Tom Selleck due to a childhood fantasy that involved his role as Peter Mitchell in Three Men and a Little Lady.
2. I am left-handed.
3. I hate driving over large bridges. Driving on the Thousand Islands Bridge during a violent thunderstorm has scarred me for life.
4. The 80s classic song Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money played a pivotal role in the budding relationship with my husband.
5. I am the oldest of four children and fit almost every single oldest-child stereotpye.
6. I hate the sound of nail clippers.
7. Orange is my favorite color.
8. I grew up in both Phoenix, Arizona and southeastern Pennsylvania.
9. Jalapeño potato chips are my favorite.
10. I am not near as confident as I pretend to be.
