Well I am taking my older sisters advice and giving an inrto. into who I am so that you all have a better idea about me and can connect. My name obviously is Tiffany Ripley(Barr). I am 30 years old and a mother of one. I am married to the love of my life, Shane Ripley. Our daughter, Julia, is almost two years old. I can't believe it. It's so crazy! We live out in the middle of nowhere! It's quiet out here, and beats living in Quincy hands down! However, it's also very secluded, and it gets old really fast sometimes being out in the country all day. I laugh about living in the dust bowl, because the dust is ridiculous out here. The wind blows all the time. I feel that I can relate to the people who lived through the actual dust bowl years. When ever the wind blows, the dust just comes in so fast. I end up with a sand box on all the window sills. When I vaccum there is at least a half a cup of dust in the trap. I hate that it is in the carpet. My house never feels quite clean because of it. Oh well, I guess. Where was I, oh yeah, so I moved here from Bremerton. My hubby was in the Navy then he got out and after a short stint as a Shipwrite, he got hired here at one of the data centers in Quincy. I miss the convience of how everything was so close to us in Bremerton, but I love living only an hour and a half from our family. I get to see everyone alot more often now. So that is a little about my family and I. There will be more to come over time I promise. I went out side tonight to let out Joey(he is our wiener dog pup) and smelled the sweet night air. It made me feel so nostalgic. Remembering the Summers of my child hood, and how things used to be. I miss the care free days so much sometimes. Before I had a child, before I was married, before I was even out of school. My mind waundered back to when my sister and I were little kids. We spent our Summers playing outside, and going down to the pool almost everyday. I miss that so much. Playing games, being up late and no one cared. We used to play ball tag and hide an go seek, life was always fun. Now life is still fun, it's just so different because we both have families. But I am happy with the here and now, but some times memories make me miss the old days. Life is funny that way. When you are a kid time goes by so slow, then when you become an adult time flies. What is that about? Why does it work that way? Sometimes I just wish I had the knowledge to understand things. Well I suppose it's time to shut this blog down for now.
