Intro

So let me start by telling the world a little bit about myself....

My name is Helga and I am 27 years old, born in Reykjavik Iceland.  I moved state side when I was 10 years old and have been living back and forth between Iceland and the states since.  I now live in Virginia and I love it here.  I am very head strong, independent, loving, motivated, I am a numbers person, I can be a bitch at times but I can't help it :0)  I love to read, the computer (who doesn't?), swimming, scrapbooking, accounting, numbers, and of course my family.  I worked as an insurance agent until my youngest son was 5 months old and then had to quit because he did not handle daycare very well so now I am a daycare provider and I love it.  I enjoy being here with my little baby and I love being here when the big boys come home from school.  I have a great bunch of kids that I watch and I have to say that I am loving what I am doing right now.  Of course some days are better than others.  I go to the gym at night after all the daycare kids leave for the day and try to work out for about an hour.  I was really good at it when I first started doing daycare but the last three weeks have been a little bit lazy but as of yesterday (Monday) I am going to go 5 days a week for an hour each day.  I just want to loose a little bit of weight and feel good.  I lost all my baby weight from having my youngest son when he was 3 weeks old but I would just love to loose a little bit more.  

On to the family....

I have four sons...they are Tyrique 11, Markus 8, Jalen 3.5, and Kobe 8 months old.  The boys are great, Tyrique is going to be a great football player one day.  He loves to be outside playing football, skateboarding, riding his bike or just playing with friends.  Markus is my GENIUS....he has an extremely high IQ and I think he is going to be some kind of computer or video game guru one day.  He loves to play video games and also loves to play with his wrestling guys.  Jalen very loving, he is such a Mammas boy.  He loves Spiderman, Dora, Diego and Superman.  He loves to play at the park and ride his bike.  Now my little man Kobe, he just learned how to crawl and he is all over the house.  He has 8 teeth and says Mamma, Dada, Amma (which means Grandma in Icelandic) and we think he is trying to say his brothers names too but we are not sure.  The Baby is a Mammas and Daddys boy but he does not like to be left with anyone else.  He was in daycare for about a month and then we had to give up because he just cried all day for the poor woman.  He is the sweetest little boy he just does not like to be away from us.

Now on to my wonderful husband Dewayne...

He is younger than I am, he is 25 (almost 26) and he is active duty Navy.  He has been in for 2.5 years and has been stationed here in Va the whole time except for he was deployed to Afghanistan last year for about 7 months.  The deployment was horrible and it was really hard on all of us but we are so glad that he is back home and we hope he never goes away like that again.  My husband is thinking about re-enlisting in the Navy for another 4 years and that means that we would be going overseas for the next 4 years of his carreer.  That would be great if we would get Europe so that I could be close to my family since they are all there.  I guess we will see where the Navy takes us if we stay in.  Okay so back to my husband, he went to College at MO and played football while he was there and then injured himself his senior year and could not play anymore.  He is now all better and plays semi pro football here in VA and loves it.  I am so proud of him, he is a great Man, a wonderful husband and father and I don't know where I would be without him.  

Ok now that I have written about myself and my family I am going to tell you what I want to blog about later on...

I want to blog about my weight loss...set some goals for myself and also hopefully this will be encouraging.  I want to blog about the things in life that make me happy and the things in life that make me mad or sad.  My everyday life and my hopes and dreams.  I love to write so hopefully I will be able to do this and wont get writers block.  It has always been a dream of mine to write a book but I can never get past a few pages cause I always just go blank and it drives me crazy.  Okay enough for now.  I need to take out some meat for dinner and start my laundry.  It is raining so hard today, just had to throw that in there.  Have a great day :-)
