Public Blogging!

This is my first leap into public blogging. I have been a private blogger for over seven years now, but I feel like it's time to leap into the world of the unknown! Let me give you a little bit of background about myself....

My name is Christy, and my husband's name is Billy. We've been married for almost 5 years, and together for over seven. We have definitely had our ups and downs, but we have a very solid love and foundation to our marriage. We have three children now, our oldest two our boys, Donovan is 3 1/2, Trenton is 2, and our baby is Miss Delilah, born 10/1. She has brought a whole new depth of love to our family. The boys adore her, and she is the sweetest baby I've ever met! We currently live in a small town in southern Louisiana. My husband is going to school to finish his electrical engineering degree. We hope to be done with school in about 4 years.

I am currently a work at home / stay at home mom. I am able to work from home for an online only retailer and be with my kids as much as possible. My husband is home during the day when he's not in school (he works a very early morning shift at a local hardware store) so he cares for the kiddos when I'm focused on working. We are VERY blessed by this job, and though it's not secure (due to the ever changing economy) I know God will provide whatever way He sees fit.

I am hoping the point of this blog will be to post pictures and the like for our friends and family that we moved far, far away from, and to post about all my frugal homemaking and thrifty shopping. I'm a bit of an addicted coupon-er, but I figure there are worse things to be addicted to. I also hope to publicly blog about my struggle with my weight and my goal of losing a good amount this year. Billy has a 10-year reunion for high school this spring and one of my best friends is getting married in October and I am a bridesmaid!

I consider myself very lucky and blessed. I have a great family, great extended family that I married into, and great friends. :)
