make new friends {a blog commenting challenge}

I never participate in blog challenges but I thought Jenna's sounded fun! 

 I've been wanting to spice up my Google reader for a while now & this sounds like a fun way to find new reads! 

Todays Topic {okay, I'm a day late to starting, so technically this was the topic yesterday}:

Tell us about YOU! What's your name? Where do you live? Who lives with you? Do you work outside the home? Have kids? Pets? (Psst! Don't spill the beans about your blog or hobbies quite yet!).
Hey y'all! I'm Laura. I'm an Atlanta raised, Mississippi educated girl living outside of Nashville! I'm the 27 year old wife to Ben & a stay at home mama. Ben & I met in college at Ole Miss (hotty toddy!) & have been married since July 19, 2008. He's my best friend! 
Grayson is our little blonde-headed bundle of energy. He will be 2 in September & is a busy boy! In my former life I was a first grade teacher, but, for now I am staying home with G. He is ALL boy and loves trucks, trains, animals, and dirt. 
I'm also currently pregnant with our 2nd baby boy, Griffin! VERY pregnant...as in, Griffin will be here in less than 5 weeks! Our boys will be 22 months apart & I can't wait to be a "boy mom!"
 As if life weren't crazy enough, we also have THREE dogs. These were our first babies & they are all spoiled rotten! Jack, the eldest, is my chihuahua from the early college years & thinks he rules the house. Hudson was a stray that we rescued our senior year at Ole Miss & is pretty much the sweetest dog ever. Ellie was an unplanned rescue from PetSmart & is our wild child.
That about sums me up in a blog post! Thanks for stopping by!

  12. Love your blog! I'm a fellow Tennesseean. I love finding blogs of other people living in TN. ;o) I'm a middle TN native, implanted to the midwest for almost four years and then now back down south. We live in East TN where everything is ORANGE. ;o) I'm following your blog now. Found you via Jenna's Journey. Good luck with the second baby on the way! =) Your first born is adorable!
