Just to feel like myself again

I just wanted to write a post to remind me that I haven't always been "the mom" and that I love it and I'm a better mom because of all the neat opportunities I've had in life.  Looking back, I'm 28 years old and there's so much that I've done... and still tons that I want to do.

I married the most wonderful man in the world.
I gave birth to and am raising two bright and beautiful kids.
I speak English, Spanish, ASL, and very limited Swahili.
I've taught music lessons in Spanish and English for about 7 years now. 
I play the piano and love it... and play the cello and organ a little bit though I'd love to take lessons again someday.
My sister and I biked and river rafted 100 km down the Danube River in Germany when I was 15.
I lived in and taught school in Kenya and acted as tour guide assistant while on Safari to the Serengeti (Tanzania/Kenya) and got to travel to Zanzibar while school was out.
I served a mission to Ecuador and loved going back to visit.
In 2000, before I left for my mission I competed in foil (Sport Fencing)... and ranked 3rd in the Utah/Idaho/Colorado area... and 50th at the Junior Olympics. 
I was asked to do a solo in the Tahitian dance and was one of 10 that were asked to participate in the poi ball dances... (long and short)... that the Multicultural Club put together in HS.
I've backpacked through Europe twice visiting Germany, Austria, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.  I'd like to visit Italy, Spain, Egypt, China, Peru and New Zealand one day.
I graduated from BYU with a BA in Visual Arts. I love to paint, use my graphic designing and photography... but most of all I love to sculpt in stone.  It's hard to do with my time... I don't get a whole lot of chances for that with my kids running around my feet.  A chisel, hammer and 2 year old don't mix.  And yes, my husband gives me rocks for my birthday... I love it!
I was the first sculpture intern that BYU had had in years.
I also have a minor in Spanish which I still use today.
I am pretty good at finances and really enjoy doing taxes.
I hate cleaning my house and cooking, but I do it anyway because I love my family.
I've had a job since I was 15, but have been helping my dad on construction jobs since I was 8.  I actually really enjoy doing it most of the time.  I love to drywall, mud and build decks.  My favorite time working with him was when we were landscaping our own backyard... we were moving a pile of rocks and mud and it started pouring rain.  It was fun to be out in the rain with a shovel in hand.  I'm not too fond of house painting or the smell of the blue glue you use for pbc pipe.
