let's meet...

hello there and welcome.. well let me start by introducing my self.  My name is Heather.  I have always liked nicknames, so you may also know me as Heath, Feath or Bug (the hubby).  I am married to a firefighter/paramedic, we live in Moses Lake. Yeah.. I have two dogs, Pita and Mona, and one cat, Sigmond.  I am stumped now as to how I should tell this.. I have no children.  There I have said it.. the weird thing is that I get this question almost daily.  It's not hard for me to answer.. "do you have children?" No... "Oh, are you and your husband going to?" " No"... "I can't".... "Oh"... then the silence steps in.. (insert change of subject here).  When your introduced to someone new.. I think it would be fun to have name tags.  You know like the one's that say Hello My Name Is.. see then you could get out the answers to questions on your name tag.  I am okay with this question for the most part, I think that it's harder for other people.  My husband and I have a child right now.  We decided this year to have an exchange student come and live with us.  Great experience for us all so far.  So as of the past two months, until the end of Jan. we have a 16 (almost 17) year old.  Her name is Hanna and she is from Brazil.  I will say that going from no children, to a teenager is easier than I thought.  She is a great kid, and we are lucky.. a good pick on our parts I will say!  


I have been a nail tech for almost 16 years, love it.  I would break down the entire family, but really that is just extra writing.  I am sure you will get to know each and every one of them following my blog, unless this is the last you read..


Now that we have gotten to know each other lets start off with how I ended up in Moses Lake.  I am from the west side.  Some call it the coast here and it really annoys me!  I mean I get that it's closer to the coast but it's not the ocean!  Ah!  So my family and I moved around a bit when I was younger.  We moved to Lake Stevens Wa the summer before I started 5th grade.  I love it there.  As someone who grew up there, you know that the weather is not the best, but it's home to me.  So my husband had a job opportunity to come and work for Moses Lake, I had been here a couple times, and thought okay, we will do it.  A good job for him, better weather and we are closer to my mom.  So here we are working on 4 years.. I will be truthful and say I don't love it.. but I the more that I am here, it's growing on me.  I have made a few close friends (and have had 3 of them move away) and I really enjoy where I work!  So there you have it.  In my mind, there are always thoughts...
