An introduction

I have started this blog three times now, and I think I'm just going to mentally dump my thoughts and put it out there.  No more "editting" myself.

I'm active duty Air Force.  Have been for twelve years.  I've been married to a wonderful man for 8 years (tomorrow)!  I have two children BEAUTIFUL children.  Both boys.  I am a big advocate of breastfeeding, and not judging other moms!  I am a lot of things to a lot of different people.  I recently added another hat to the many that I wear.  One that I never anticipated.  I am a mom to a child with autism. 

I don't want to have an *autism* blog, but at the same time I do.  It is so prevalent in our society, but people know so little about it.   

I think I just need an outlet.  I need to not feel alone. 

So here goes.

My oldest son was diagnosed with autism in March 2012.  He's 3.  He's a brooding genius.  Serious.  Artistic.  He writes letters, numbers, draws cars, people, aquariums, lollipops, waffles - he's amazing.  And he's also the snuggliest kid you'll ever meet.  A true romantic.  His father's son for sure. 

My youngest son is 1 and a half.  He was a surprise, but definitely part of a "plan."  He's a hurricane, and demands his own attention, but he's a teddy bear.  If big brother just says he wants juice, and little brother has some, he gives it to him.  He loves to hug, laugh, dance and enjoy every moment of life.  Mostly like mom.

I really don't know how to end this post.  My thoughts just keep going. 

Ok.  This was just an introduction.  So, I guess I'll just start another post.  Thanks for reading!
