Introduction: I am I am not.

There are alot of things I'm not but I want to start with what I am. I am alot of things but I feel each one comes with an explanation.

I am Holly. I am not who you think I am.

I am a Navy wife: my husband is my best friend and my hero. He is the person who really gets me and has seen every single side of me. We've been through hell and back and are stronger for it. I am not a typical wife. I don't throw a party when my husband helps me with our children or the house. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate all he does and I understand there are men out there that don't do a quarter of what he does. My philosophy is if you're not prepared to do every thing that's required to take care of a child you shouldn't have one. I am a person who believes that while life in the Navy is crazy difficult it's also an adventure. I've gotten to do and see so many exciting things that if our family wasn't a Navy family we would've never gotten to do or see them. Being a Navy wife has made me strong. I am not a fan of the uncertain but It's getting easier to go with the flow.

I am a Mother to two of the most gorgeous boys on the planet. My children are amazing. They are strong, confident, and self sufficient.  I am not a pushover. No child is so cute that it keeps them from getting out of trouble when they do something wrong. Not even mine. No means no and consistency is the key.

I am a good friend. I am loyal and devoted to those deserving of my friendship. I am not going to waste time on people who don't understand that friendship is a two way street. I am blessed to say that the friends I have are the most wonderful people ever. I am so blessed to have them in my life.

I am painfully insecure. I second guess everything. I am not shy. I can hold my own in any situation but then will go home and agonize over it.

I've never been a confident person. I started running 8 weeks ago and the journey has been incredible. I've learned alot in the last 8 weeks and I decided to put the lessons I've learned out in the world.
