I am Whitney.
I like large dogs, dark chocolate, Italian food, nachos, Target, people who return voicemails, air conditioning, fireplaces, Queen (the band), tattoos, the scent of sandalwood, the color red, steak and pretty much any kind of booze. This girl? NOT PICKY!
I hate the smell of raw chicken, Jon Gosselin, sporks, Mountain Dew, cat piss, driving on black ice, husking corn, arguing and Huggies. Yes, the diapers.
This blog follows me from my very humble beginnings at 20 years old, living with my then-boyfriend of three years, Shane, and my underlying depression, to when he broke up with me and my later realizations. A month later, I met my now-husband, Stephen. Seven months after that, I announced my SURPRISE! Pregnancy and wrote about my birth experience.
We named our son Dublin Russo. Dublin because it was the only name we could agree on, and come on, BAD ASS. Russo (like Rene) was my great-grandfather’s last name. He passed away before I could make him a great-great.
We live in Idaho, after moving here from Vermont in June 2009, when our son was 4 weeks old. We were married on August 8th, and I look about five months pregnant in all the photos. Sadly, I was actually 10 weeks postpartum.
I am tall and a bit overweight and it sucks, but I’m working on it.
I am on twitter, flickr and Facebook. (You’ll have to ask for that last one.)
