Who I am!

I went all political the other night so I thought I'd do a little Holly and Family update.

My name is Holly. I am a twenty-seven year old dental hygienist hailing from good ole' northern Illinois. We are having some record snowfalls up this way this year. We almost had 12 inches earlier this week and I think we are supposed to get another 5 tonight. Yuk! Anyway, I grew up in Winnebago, Illinois. Small town! You know you go to a small country school when once a year for fun they let you drive your tractors, lawn mowers, and ATV's into school. I'm not joking by the way. But, I did like it a lot out there. Wouldn't be opposed to finding a small town to let the kids grow up in, but for now we are content. I went to college at Parkland Community College in Champaign-Urbana and got my associates in science for Dental Hygiene. I absolutely love what I do and can't imagine doing anything different.

My hubby's name is Tim. He is thiry-six. Yes, we are 9 years apart. That used to seem like a bigger deal than it is now but funny how time sorta changed all that. I was 20 and he was 30 when we first met, and then it seemed slightly scandalous! =) Not really though! We have been married 5 1/2 years. I met Tim at a gym in Rockford. We had our first date on Christmas day 2001. We went to see the movie ALI. I didn't like the movie, but I sure liked him! Anyway, Tim works as a exercise physiologist at Rockford Cardiology. He does nuclear stress-testing. He also runs the weight room at Christian Life Schools in Rockford. He personal trains at Peak Fitness too. Keeps him busy!! Some of his favorite hobbies are: working out, kickboxing, tanning, doing "cardio", and playing with his kids.

Timothy Vaughn Bauscher III was born on January 19, 2004. I bawled like a baby. I was so surprised we had a little boy to love on! He goes by "Vaughn". He is a so much fun. ALL BOY! He is usually the center of attention, smiling, laughing, bossy, and imaginative! A sweet and tender heart belongs to that little one! I love him so much! He is going to preschool now. His favorite things are Power Rangers, Lightning McQueen, his cat Mitzer, eating candy, and playing games.

Miss Johanna Faith Bauscher was born on December 16, 2005. I was overjoyed to have a little girl to forever shop, chat, and play dress-up with. She goes by "Joie". Have you notice we like nicknames. She is my sweetly shy and tender-hearted one! Full of love for her big brother, mommy, and daddy! She is a girl's girl! Slightly stubborn at times, but hey it's a woman's prerogative. I love her so much! Her favorite things are Doodlebops, shoes, princesses, the color pink, and tossing clothes out of mommy's laundry basket.

Well, that's us! The Bauscher Family!
