30 Day Blog Challenge - Day One

Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts
Hello everyone out there in cyberspace! My name is Dwan Elizabeth Pitre (Originally Pitre, Used to be Switzer, back Pitre again, soon to be Veillon)! I am a 26 year old, single mother of two boys, engaged to a gorgous man who adores me!

Recent picture of me:

15 interesting facts about me: ( I guess they mean things I think are interesting about myself, ok well sorry guys if you don't think they are interesting!)

1. I grew up having a crush on my best friend. For 8 years I had a crush on my best friend and never told him anything! (Until I got drunk one night in 2004 and called him) We havn't spoken much since. Just a nice hello how are you and how have you been text for our birthdays kinda thing. But I do not regret telling him because I never have to worry about "What If?"

2. I have never EVER smoked Weed! Yes I know....there are not many of us out there who never tryed it. Oh believe me...it was out there for me to try...I even rolled a few for friends who thought I was good at the technique! But I never ever smoked it! I never wanted to. I don't know if it was the horror stories my dad used to tell me when I was younger about when he was younger, or what but YES I NEVER TRIED WEED!

3. I don't like to drink. Yes I have been drunk, but I have found that I have to force myself to drink it. Once I get started is a different story! But I have much more fun without any alcohol in my system than when I drink. Drinking makes me sleepy! Yes I get that gene from my mother! I don't like the taste of alcohol, even though when mixed with the right things, I have been known to tollerate the taste! So there that makes me feel better!

4. I do not regret, in the least bit, getting married the first time. If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would do nothing different. It might mess up where I am right now. I am proud of what I have learned and survived. I am proud of the two wonderful boys that came out of it. And I learned that love is not something you guess at or try to control. I am glad that Chris and I are friends now and hope that we can continue to be friends. We are both proud of eachother and our accomplishments and where our lives are taking us. So no I would not change my past!

5. I am a public information assistant for St. Charles Parish. I have the coolest boss in the world. I am scared if she ever desides to do something better with her life, cause if someone comes in to take her position and they start changing stuff I am going to have to find me a new position also! I am part of the Public Information Office for the parish. It consists of me and my boss! We are in charge of the government access channel 6! We update and maintain the parish website, keep people informed of different things going on in the parish, and take pictures and film events that happen in the parish. I am the assistant producer of St. Charles Parish Today! A local talk show that takes you behind the scenes of local govenment! I am also the "on location" girl! Reporter for the show! I work with amazing people and really enjoy my work.

6. I secretly with I was a stay at home mom. Ok well to most of my friends and family that isn't much of a secret. It saddens me that my parents got to watch my boys grow up and that I missed most of their firsts. But if I have to work I wouldn't want to be doing anything else that what I am doing. And one day when I win the lotto or Josh makes millions, then my wish will come true, but for now I am glad I only work 40 hours a week so that I do get the time that I do have with them.

7. For those who havn't seen me lately....this is my natural hair color! Yes that is right! Thanks to Allie, we have found it! After a 12 year search....we have found my roots and now my entire head of hair is the same color. I havn't died my hair in 9 months! Yes I am proud...it is kind of an AA thing! haha!

8. My big sister is shorter than me. For those of you who don't know me that well...yes my big (older) sister is 31 and she is 5ft. I am 26 and 5ft 6ins! She used to be bigger than me until the summer before I turned 13! Bam! Teenager shoots up 3 inches in 3 months!

9. I am addicted to RITZ crackers! I can't help it! They are like pringles...once you pop you can't stop....I believe they have crack in them!

10. I like to stair at Josh when he sleeps! Oh if he knew that he would freak! Haha! He just works so hard for us and I think it is beautiful when he finally gets peace!

11. I want one more kid! Ok I would love to be pregnant like 5 more times but I know Josh would never go for that, so we are going to wait like 4 more years but hopefully we can get our girl! I love being pregnant!

12. I am still best friends with my first best friend. I almost couldn't say this statement 8 months ago, but I am proud to say it now! I have been best friends, on and off (ahaha) with Erin Dugas for almost 22 years! WOW! I love her!

13. If I keep the job I have now I will retire with full benefits when I am 52 years old! What What....then we will travel with LSU and get a RV! That is the plan!

14. Every morning I wake up and walk into my boys' room, and get to fall inlove with them all over again! I am the luckest woman in the whole world. Everyday! Every single day! Woohoo!

15. I am really going to try and not miss a day of this blog challenge, but I have to confess i will have to put reminders in my calender on my phone so I don't forget....man I am a busy mom! But I have a wonderful life and love every minute of it! And I owe it all to the last info about me! GOD is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. And he can happen to anyone if they just believe in him. AMEN!
