Genesis; The Creation

I was reluctant to start a blog, I didn't know if I really wanted to write about my life. I felt like my best friend who fought tooth and nail not to get a facebook account, now she's on it more than I am. So okay, fuck it! oh! Can I say that?! Yes I can, I can say whatever I want to say! Fuck, Shit, Son of a Bitch! awww... that feels good, the first session is always a bit of getting to know you and letting guards down. So after much convincing and conversation, I'm writing this blog to tell my point of view. It "should" be quite entertaining; my little life stories, my ever increasing neurosis, and my everyday therapy session navigating through parenthood. It may not always be grammatically correct, but at the end of the day who gives a shit.

This is Genesis

My name is Naoj(accent over the 'a') Andrews. Unique name you say... why thank you! well thank my mom. Kinda sounds like nuage or neige, but it's not french. It's my grandmothers name spelled backwards. I am a wife, mother of my two beautiful girls, daughter, sister, and friend. I would call myself a free thinking spiritual person. The power of positive thought and words can heal, change, and empower. My husband and I had put positive thoughts on moving out of Las Vegas for the past three years. Our dream was to raise our growing family in an environment that was exciting and enriching to all of our spirits and minds. Besides the fact that I wanted to go home more than anything in the world and Vegas just didn't quite fit on me. Like many blessing; out of the blue, this past May he got laid off from his job and within three weeks had a new position in Northern California. So off he went, leaving me (8 1/2 mo. pregnant) and our almost 3 yr. old Avery to pack the house up(with the help of "the moms") and end one chapter of our lives to begin another. It's been 3 months since I've relocated and I still can't believe we are here. We have done more, seen more, and ate better than we had in all the time we lived in Las Vegas. I have made fast friends and am enjoying every moment of this life filled with fresh air, fresh food, and refreshing personalities. Our newest addition Berkely is a spit fire fatness ball of joy(sometimes, lets be real). She has more to say, grabs more, and in tradition of our Andrews babies; is a sassy lil somebody. Avery (the personality) has coped so well to our new environment and a new sister. She just started preschool yesterday and was very comfortable being left and playing/interacting with the other kids. The only thing the teacher said, was that Avery was "sharing" in other kids snack bags. What's hers is hers and what's yours is hers too! Rick(the hubby) is thriving at work and in better spirits all around. He's become quite the Bay Area guy; AIDS walks, helping neighbors, BART enthusiast, and PRIDE Parades! We are enjoying each others company and getting to know each other in a whole new way; through weekend adventures... what can I say, Life is good!

Until next time...
