The First One

I always have the hardest time with this first post. Its not that I don't have anything to say, or any ideas on where to start or what I wish to share, but its how to not overwhelm my brain, and yours. So there is always that "First One" on blogs which are usually some type of introduction as to where I hope to go from here...so I suppose I will do just that. 

Hello.

I am the HG or Head Geek around here. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a sister, and just a general all around Geek. I have two children (both girls), whose ages are 10 years apart (only 6 days away from a full decade to be exact) and we will refer to the oldest, now 11, as Bogger and the baby, age 1, as ChopChop. 

 I am also happily married to the love of my life, Geek Dad, who is a fantastic dad and provider for our family and allows me to stay at home for our kids and supports all my crazy ventures. 

I am one of those general Geeks who celebrates all of my fandoms and shares with whomever is interested. I would like to think that I have some wisdom to share from my crazy life and a shoulder for those who may need it. I have recently begun standing up for myself and my beliefs, which is incredibly hard at times, but always rewarding. I believe in being open minded and open hearted and helping other as often as I can. I believe in (sometimes brutal) honesty and loyalty; but above all I believe in the power of family. The family is always a place where you SHOULD feel like you are accepted and loved; embraced BECAUSE of all of your faults and accomplishments. I know not everyone feels like this. I am one who doesn't; but as a parent with the special chance to have a family of my own and create those feelings for my children, and my husband, I am starting to every day. 

This is the journey for us, the Geek Family. We have lived on both coasts of the U.S. and several places in the middle. We have had our series of ups and downs. We have struggled with money, fertility, family, and just life in general; but we are stronger. 

These are my crazy rantings. My attempt to stand up for me... and hopefully encourage you to stand up for you too. 

Welcome.
