Bushwacking and Tush Smacking

Who doesn’t wear a few dozen hats in their lives? I’m first and foremost, a Christ follower. After that, I’m a wife to a supportive, down to earth, and patient man. Without Chris I couldn’t do most of the things I enjoy so much in life. He keeps me grounded and brings realism to my irritatingly optimistic mindset. Through him, I’m a mother to 5 pretty fantastic kiddos ranging in age from 6 all the way up to 15. I get to spend plenty of my time with them being as we homeschool. Somedays it goes perfectly, other days it can be a loose interpretation of a standard education. But it’s always worthwhile. In addition to all of those, I’m also a standby Labor and Delivery RN. If we could afford it, I would love to be a stay-at-home mom, but if I have to work, L&D nursing is where I want to be. And finally, I’m a loose interpretation of an endurance junkie. My first love is Adventure racing, but I really enjoy just about every outdoor, physically challenging sport I’ve tried. If we lived closer to the opportunity, I would be a regular on any river with some rapids, or on the slopes of a ski resort. Alas, we are in Delaware and options for either of those are nonexistent. So, I’ll stick to my trail running, biking, and occasional CrossFit, and get my kicks on vacations (which I love!!) and on races.
