So, I guess in keeping with the normal course of things (which I don't often do), I'll do that whole "Hi, I'm Holly and I'm a... (oops! wrong place!) this is my new blog. For clarification, I've spent years blogging, but I finally decided I wanted my own site with my own layout and a little more control.
Let me go ahead and introduce the cast of characters that you'll probably read a lot about (all three of you) as they are key players in my life.
- Holly - That'd be me. The soon-to-be Mrs. Reynolds. I'm mom to three darling children, engaged (for 2 more months) to an amazing man and a soldier in the U.S. Army. As if these things didn't take up all of my time, I'm also a bit of a writer, music is always the soundtrack of my life and I am decidedly a little insane.
- Kris - The man I'm going to marry. It took me 31 years to locate him, but boy did he ever arrive like a stripper into a monastery! If I ever saw a neon sign saying "HI. I was born to be yours!", it was the moment I saw him. If you know me, imagine me without the filter. Seriously.
- Morgan - My daughter. My
holy crap in 8 more days I'm going to be the parent of aalmost teenager. Morgan, sometimes known as Emmy, is a ray of sarcastic sunshine in the life of everyone she encounters. She's got a heart of gold and a smile to match. I'm still in awe of the fact that not only will she claim me publicly, but she'll actually hold my hand. - Madison - The eldest of my two boys (11 1/2). Madison can best be described by a single word. Precocious. He's always been the one to test the boundaries of everything. By no means is he bad. He just has a thirst for knowledge and understanding of all things. It's a blessing and a curse. He's also strikingly handsome and has a built in "model's pose" in photographs.
- Max - My "baby". In 3 days he joins the ranks of the double digits. Despite my repeated requests to stop growing up, he just keeps maturing. Max is bright, quirky and could sing in perfect key before he could speak. He may seem to be from another planet, but sit down with him long enough and he'll really make you think! Still thinks I'm the coolest mom...EVER!
- Logan - My best friend in the world. He's been my rock, my sounding board and is like a brother to me. Also the #1 Dad to my niece and nephew. One day we'll get around to building our houses next to each other and actually just combine the families into one giant blob of love & dysfunction.
There you have it, folks. The main characters on this stage of mine. These are the ones that I'd be lost without and wouldn't want to be lost without. Deserted island - party of 8, please!
Welcome to my world. Sit down, kick off your shoes and enjoy the mental striptease!
