I have always wanted a blog... I have my friend, Will to thank for planting the seed inside my head... Thanks, Will... You can catch up with him at: http://quietfunnyserious.blogspot.com/
I used to love writing. When I was younger, I dreamt of publishing novels and poetry. I would carry around a notebook and pen with me everywhere, like some sort of Harriot the Spy. Somehow, I lost touch with that girl. ((shrug)) Well, I'm here now. Let's give it a whirl.
I don't even really know who I am. I'd like to introduce myself to you, whoever you are, but I'm not sure what I want to say. "Hello, welcome to my blog about.... nothing.." That's intriguing. I know what I am not. Hahaha, don't we all? I am not a hardcore health nut, not a veagan with a thing for the "au natural," I am certainly no "super" mom with fool-proof ideas and suggestions to make your parenting experience a breeze... I am absolutely not a first class chef, creating amazing menu plans that change your kitchen life into a wonderous part of your day.. I'm also not a drop dead gorgeous creature, who comands the attention of everyone around her with simple glance or smile. I don't have witty things to say at the drop of a hat, nor are my jokes funny.. Well, I guess sometimes they are. My point is, that I am your average, everday woman... I don't have anything AMAZING to contribute to the world of blogging.
I think I want to know more about myself.. I know I'm in there, somwhere... Obviously I know the simple things... Favorite foods, pet peeves.. But what makes Heather Nelson tick? What are the special secrets that make me a blue-ribbon human being? I think that's what I want this blog to be... Whether 100 people end up reading it, or no one at all, I want to have a safe place, to open up about whatever comes to mind.. and maybe shed some light on my life's motives..
So, back to my introduction.. I will give you a list of facts about me..
~I am a 27 year old mother of 2, wife extraordinaire, part time failure, full time optimist.
~I am a Christian. I love Jesus and my faith is the glue of my life.
~I will wear my tongue ring until the day I die. No one believes me, but they don't understand the dedication I have to that very piece of jewelry.
~I love tattoos, breaking the code of the "norm" and someday I WILL ride my own motorcylce.
~I hate wet socks. It's truly the most uncofortable feeling ever.
~I don't have many friends. The ones I have are very special to me and I will exlpoit a loyalty to them like none other. Even when it hurts...
~I am bossy and selfish. I'm working on that.
~I always try to find the beauty in things.. Sometimes its harder than others, but I can usually appreciate various angles of one situation.
So, in a nut shell, here I am.

Your faith in God is amazing! You are truly a wonderful example of being who you are and believing in what you want. Don't change except the bossy and selfish part unless it works for you. Keep sharing, I love it!
