About Me

About me...hmm...this always seems a little awkward

Hi my name is Ruth I have been married to my hubby, Pete for 15 years now.  We have 5 kids (an no we are not crazy)
  • Mr. H - 15y/o ds
  • Princess - 12y/o dd
  • Cutie Pie - 9y/o dd
  • Pooky - 5y/o dd
  • Chunky Monkey (Faith) - 3y/o dd
I have been through a lot in my life.  I had a great life, with some unique experiences and some awful ones.  All of my past has brought me to become who I am today.  I wouldn't change anything that I have gone through, no matter how difficult it was.  I believe that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.  I believe in a strong family.  I work in a group home with some amazingly exceptional people.  My youngest daughter has a brain injury from birth. Some days the glass is half full while other days it is half empty.  I am learning to navigate the waters of special needs parenting.  My faith is growing all the time.  I have a lot of questions sometime.  I love to write and will one day write a book.  Not sure what it will be about yet. 

I am a Christian.  I love God.  I love my husband.  I love my kids.  I love the chaos that we call our life.
