Hey there

So this is my first blog post ever and I just want to warn everyone that this entire blog is probably going to be very boring if you are not as obsessed with my kids as I am. Basically I just want a way to chronicle my beautiful twin baby girls' lives and maybe be some moral support to another mom of twins, because I know I could have used some.

Like I said, I am the proud mom to twin girls Analiese Sophia and Harper Elisabeth and wife to my English hubby Dan. Dan and I met while working at the best summer camp ever Southwoods in the adirondack mountains in New York in June of 2010. He is from England and I met him in his third year working there.

After we left camp we started a long distance relationship, traveled between Evansville, Indiana and buckinghamshire, England, made a pit stop in Bangkok, Thailand where we made the crazy decision to quit the distance and get married. Four short months later we got married in a very small ceremony on the beach in Virginia beach, Virginia and started our crazy life together.

Just a few weeks after our wedding we moved to Sevilla, Spain where I studied and Dan worked, then four months later decided to live close to his family in england while we were waiting on Dan's green card. Two days before I came back to the states for my sisters wedding (Dan was following me a month later, as we still didn't have his green card and I was a bridesmaid) I found out that I was pregnant...SURPRISE! Then a couple weeks later I found out it was twins....BIGGER SURPRISE!! Literally I would have fell to the floor if I wasn't on an exam table when the tech told me. luckily Dan got his green card and became a permanent resident of the united states just 3 weeks later.

On October 17th, 2012 at 8:31 and 8:33, 5 and a half weeks early, we met the most beautiful little girls in the world and became the proudest parents ever (yes I know I'm biased, but hey, aren't all moms?) Analiese spent one week in the hospital, and Harper spent two. While they were the hardest two weeks of my life, it made bringing them home that much more amazing. Since then we have settled down, Dan is working at a job that he loves in Chicago, and I am working at a job that I love at home with the kiddos (being a mom is the best job ever!)

I am using this as a tool for my family near and far to keep up with the Hills, and for any moms who just need to see that they are not the only ones wanting to pull their hair out sometimes ;) I hope you enjoy, and happy reading!
