More About Me

My name is Autumn, and as you read, I will be 30 on July 2nd, 2011.  I’m an only child who grew up in Washington state, but then met a guy who moved me to Texas.  I’m married to an awesome guy named Bryan.  We’ve been married since January 2002 and have two gorgeous girls, Jocelyn and Abigail.  Jocelyn is 7 and Abigail is 5 which means that they will both be in school full time this year!  Because I will have so much free time to myself, I figured I should really concentrate on doing things that I want to do since it’s been about the girls for 7 years.

As so many women do, I have chosen to stay home with my daughters instead of go to work.  Now that I have my days free, I’ve found people often expect me to go to work.  I’m not particularly interested, and truthfully it’s not really necessary.  I’m lucky like that.  So instead I get to spend time doing things that interest me and that I’ve been wanting to do for years.  It’s about time!  It’s going to be a good year.

    I am turning 30 on July 2nd, 2011. Since it is such a momentous birthday for me, I thought it was a good time to finally work toward accomplishing some of the goals I've had on my bucket list. However, I realized some of them are sort of lofty and will take a while to train for, so I'm giving myself an extra year. I have until July 2012 to accomplish all the things on my list. Join me during my journey!
