If You Really Knew Me...

I've seen this floating around for the last couple weeks and probably months and I figured what the hell, miswell be the millionth person to do it, and c'mon, don't lie....you know you want to know a little more about moi : ) 

So here goes nothing...

If You Really Knew....
.....you'd know that I was named after my great grandmother. 
.....but you'd also know that wasn't my original first name
....my name before what it is now was Serena Lorraine
.....f.y.i. I like my name now much better
....I also didn't meet my dad, brother, and sister till I was 12
.....I can't stand the sound of nails being filed, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me
...... I also hate when people rest their hand on my shoulder, it seriously gives me the willies
......My sister, mom, and me all have a beauty mark in the same exact place
.....I went to school for Elementary Education, but never finished because I lost a majority of my credits when I moved to Pennsylvania
.....Though I would love to, I honestly don't think I will go back to school now
....I do not plan to stay at my current job forever though
......My dream now would be to venture into photography (like a million other bloggers) or to work with children in some avenue
.....I would also love to be a stay at home mom when the time comes, bu t I don't know if we'd be able to swing that at this point in our lives
......Yes, Big Man and I would love to have some babes, soon. 
.....I would love to have 3-4 but Big Man is settled at having two. Will see how it goes, I might be done after one....haha. 
......It's 5:25 a.m. and bleh,  I still have two more days of work
....Now I have to head to work and wrap this up.....womp. womp. 

Let me know if you want to know anything more.
XOXO, 
LW

I hate people resting their hands on my shoulders too, ewww. I said I wanted 3 until I had one, now 2 is pushing it :)

Laura said...

I didn't know that about your name. I could see you being a Serena. :) But I do like Ivy much better.

When people put their hands on my shoulders, I just want to push them. True story.

I think your name now suits you! And I know I've said it a million times, but being a SAHM is totally doable...esp if you work part-time as a photographer!!!

Jess said...

I *never* knew about the name change. That is amazing.

Lindsay Pav said...

ZOMG! The hand on shoulder thing is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves...gives me the chills just thinking about it!

CeCe said...

You changed names? I'm not sure I knew that was possible; aside from the last name. That sucks that you lost all your credits. You would think that similar courses should count for something. Don't give up if it's what you really want to do! But I know school and full time work sucks big time.

I hate filing my nails. It's the worst thing for me! Hope you guys get your baby soon :)

Neena said...

I did a post like this once. It was one of my favorites to write!

You will have your moments of not wanting any more kids and you will have your moments of wanting 4 or 6. I've been waiting for you to send me pictures of pee sticks!

Cheerful Homemaker said...

M is the same way about kids! I want a house full of kids.

Sarah said...

I love this! I had never heard the part about your name before! So, would you mind elaborating on why it changed? Was it your decision or your moms? I think both are pretty first names.
p.s...I'm thinking of starting to blog again, have you missed me? ;)

English Anderson said...

I'm so so intrigued by what your name is now and why you changed it. Deets?! I also think it's pretty cool that you, your mom, and sister all have beauty marks in the exact same place. A good way to show family unity, yeah? I do hope you get into photography, I would love to see what you come up with!

Brit said...

I would pay you to take pictures of my kids. Photography and kids....boom :) I love this little diddy, heck maybe I should do one too! I am such a sheep.
