Hello everyone! I have finally decided to join the 21st century and start my own blog. I never thought I had enough to say to have a blog but have realized that I have plenty to say! I'm sure some people would argue that I've always had too much to say!
Let me start with some personal information. My name is Melissa and I'm 30, married and a mom. My family and I live in a small town in TN, Lafayette. Please, I ask you, do NOT pronounce it like Lafayette, LA. We are country folk and we say it like laf-ette not la-fa-ette. It's 2 syllabols not 3 here. That being said, I type much like I speak so I may have to do a "redneck dictionary" on here somewhere!
As I said I'm married and have been for 7 years to the most wonderful man! He's put up with all my "craziness" like a pro so he's worth keeping around! Plus, he helps keep me grounded. We have two beautiful daughters, MacKenzie and Cassidy. Kenzie is 8 and she's the oldest. She looks just like me and, unfortunetely, acts just like me. She's a tomboy and don't care who knows. Cass, 5, on the other hand is the EXACT opposite! She looks like her father when he was young. Matter-of-fact, as soon as she was born I said "that can't be my child!". LOL. She's the most girlie-girl that I know. She's the sensitive one of the family. My girls keep me busy with school and Girl Scouts but I wouldn't trade it for anything in this big ole world!
I am a career gal. I am a certified crime scene investigator and work at a local police department. It has to be the perfect match for me and I'm thankful every day that I found my dream job! It truly makes getting up every day (or in the middle of the night) to go to work worthwhile. Working with police officers is different than any people I've worked with before but I feel 100% safe with my life in their hands on a daily basis. That fact alone makes us all like one big, happy family.
I think that's all for now... I'll begin posting regularly with stories, funnies and all sorts of goodness!

Blog On!
