Hello! I'm Kara*. I'm 26 years old, born and raised in Virginia, which is of course in the good 'ol United States of 'Murica. I have a Southern accent but I'm not a typical Southerner. ;) I've been calling myself a nerd before being nerdy was cool. I love webpage design, HTML coding, Photoshop and binge watching series on Netflix (I'm looking at you, Orange is the New Black). I rarely go outside willingly, unless it's to a body of water like the pool, lake or ocean. The sun and I have a volatile relationship. He's given me sun poisoning and second-degree burns so needless to say, he's not my friend. Anyway, I'm sarcastic, spiteful and I love to make others laugh. I love to write and I love to vent. I'm opinionated ... maybe a little too much so. I listen to a variety of music. I love metal, aggrotech, techno, dubstep, industrial, classic rock and most recently, country. I guess it's the mom in me, but my
friends see me as a metal failure for listening to it ;) I'm atheist. I do not believe in any god or other deity. I was raised a Christian Baptist and I swore to my baby I would never put her through that. We're choosing to raise her in a secular environment with good morals. When she's older, if she wishes to follow a religion, who am I to stop her? It's her life and I want her to lead it as she sees fit. As for my romantic life, I've been happily married to my awesome husband for nearly four years. We met when I was barely 20 and we've been together ever since. I love him more than words can say. We're the proud parents of a beautiful little red-haired, brown-eyed toddler nicknamed "SJ". She's made everything possible. Because of her, I've returned to college to finish my bachelor's degree in Accounting, despite working full-time, paying bills and raising her. She makes me want to be all I was meant to be, and that means so much. She's the reason I get up in the mornings and the motivation to get me through each day. I love her more than I've loved anyone or anything. She's my miracle, my heart, my life. I would sacrifice everything to see her smile.
This blog is about my inner thoughts, day-to-day happenings and ultimately, the struggle to conceive a second child. For more information about what I'm up against, read my page titled "What is PCOS?". In all essence, if she's the only child we ever have, I'm fine with that. I'm just hoping I can have my cake and eat it too, although I probably shouldn't eat the cake because I'm on a damn diet for the millionth time and I'm a little cranky.
* = not my real name, sorry
