Virgin Blogger....great talker!

So yes....I am a virgin blogger but for those who might be reading this and know me I can talk! I will say since I am so much wiser and older now talking is more controlled.....*grin*.
In order for you to understand what I write you must know about me, my husband and our great kids.
I am Erin otherwise referred to as "little e"...married to my highschool boyfriend that I dumped after he wanted to buy me a shirt from the Limited. I guess at the time I thought that was a little "too" serious. Now I welcome those shirts and I lave learned to love the extremely sensitive side that BIG E is. I own a restaurant and cheesecake bakery where I have spent the last five years laboring over. The only way I can describe this venture is to compare it to childbirth where it is extremely painful, yet rewarding. I am outgoing and love social settings, I color my hair as I have way more grey than a woman my age should. I love to cook and read cookbooks, I love to laugh. I love my blessed life!
Eric otherwise referred to as "Big E"...the one who bought me that shirt from the limited. I still imagine that box laying on his nightstand waiting to be given to me as I told him that we just couldn't see eachother anymore. I wonder if he ever took it back. "E" teaches elementary, has tattoos on both arms of what has been his journey in faith, loves music, is an amazing musician, has more shoes than I do, cries way before I do, brings me coffee every single morning before my feet even hit the floor. He is an amazing father and husband.
Addison...our 11year old. What can I say....he is 11, taller than I by three inches, uses more hair products than I do, has great manners, loves to learn, loves his mom, eager to help his sisters, makes us laugh, understands his faith and is going to probably run some company as he is extremely organized and type "A".
Ivee is our 6 1/2 year old. Spitten image of her mom, sassy, silly, loving and all girl. She loves to be the older sister to Jayla showing her the ways of "everything". Talk to me in a few years when they are both teenagers.
Jayla is our petite little 4 year old that does her best to keep up with her older siblings. She loves to color, play with Ivee, knows how to talk Addison into carrying her on his back and feels secure in his love for her.
Our life is beautiful....not without struggles but that is called life and it is character building. I love how God has created Eric, Addison, Ivee and Jayla. In our kitchen sits a candy jar.....we all put our own candy that represents us into it:
BIG E: Gummy Bears, he is at the core very squeezable and a comforting.
little e: Jelly Belly's, I guess I love the tangy flavor they all have and how mixing flavors is even better.
Addison: Skittles, tried and true in the red bag....he doesn't vere from the original.
Ivee: M&M's, lover of chocolate and food in general...she might not melt in your hands, but her smile and sweetness could melt any chocolate.
Jayla: Smarty's, a reference to her petite stature and quiet voice. Tangy and sweet all in the same package. Wrapped tightly by Addison and Ivee that help watch out for her.

May you look at your families today and realize what your candy jar is full of....it will be a sweet reminder of our creator and how we are all made just the way we were intended to be.
