So here I am.
Let me explain about myself. I'm Kat, Well Katrina. I'm 27, Way to young to be complaining about my age, but way to old to not complain about my age. I'm a mom of 2.
Xander who is adorably 8. Adorable for the most part,with All that Whiny, Happy, Sad, Overly dramatic attitude that comes with an 8 year old that is too smart for his own good. He is a lover of Dinosaurs and Outer Space, a Spanish dual Immersion student who speaks it beautifully, Loves to read historical fiction (age appropriate I mind you) and would rather stay inside playing video games and reading than outside exploring the world. He is my best friend, my first born and absolutely the love of my life.. And then there is Eliza, My spunky stylish dress wearing princess. Who loves painting her toe nails with rad colors, braiding her hair in tiny braids so its "Crunchy" in the morning. She is constantly wrapping her arms around her dad and I kissing us all over the face and reminding us how much she loves us.. "I'm lucky your my girl" I say.. "I'm lucky your my mom" She replies.. 
The kids are what gets us up in the morning, and also what keeps us awake at night..
So now a story,
there once was this 17 year old girl who was in the habit of lying about her age.. Adding a year here and there to make herself older, get her into bars, and get older boys to kiss her. She met this super shy young 21 year old who grew up in a small town, raised by devout Mormons, and fresh off his LDS mission in Riverside, CA. This girl, told him she was 18 and graduated from High School. So he shyly asked her out on a date, He picked her up in his new car. She was excited, he was tall and handsome but painfully shy. On this date to the movies he said 6 whole words to her "What did you want to see?" he asked, She told him, he paid for the movie and took her home. This girl, thought he was a lost cause and didn't expect to hear from him again.. In the early hours of the morning her phone went off, with tired eyes she read the text. "I had a lot of fun, I'm sorry I didn't talk much but I want to do this again sometime". It caused butterflies for the 17 year old, Not a uncommon feeling, but this time it was different. You see, this particular 17 year old had seen lots of the fish that swam in the sea. Some nice, but most NOT SO NICE. So it was a strange feeling when a person paid for her movie ticket, opened her door and walked her to her door step. "Maybe this ones different" she thought to herself. So a few nights later, she got a call he said "Let's go get dinner and a movie and we'll get to know each other" She made herself look pretty and prepared for a second date. So he took her to Tucci's Made her eat calamari and walked to the theater. THE RING was the movie he picked. The 17 year old was a scared little cat and hung tight to the 21 year old hand. After the movie he took her home and they began getting to know each other more and more. A mere 4 weeks later the 17 year old got a weird feeling. She Loved him, She knew he loved her and she knew it was going to get serious really soon. So a confession needed to be made. With great fear she typed 2 short sentence that she knew would change everything "I have something to tell you. I'm not 18. I'm 17, I'm sorry I lied. I understand" she pressed send and waited for a response. It took a little longer than expected but when she got it it said "Well, It's a good thing I love you, because that would be a deal breaker otherwise. Within a few days he asked for her hand. she said yes and 3 weeks after she turned 18 they were married With a little bundle of joy on the way. that little bundle turned into a boy.So 9 and a half years later that 17 and 21 year old turned into Kat and Jason. Best friends and Partners in Crime.
