The Background

Hello all! I guess I will start off by telling a little bit about myself. My name is Becky Rhoades, formally Hall, and I am 26 years young or old depending on the day. I have been married for 3+ years to my wonderful husband, Jesse. He truly is 'the bread to my butter, and the breath to my life." He is a worrier, but so am I. We seem, though, to never be worried about the same things. Which is good because we can support each other. I also have a beautiful baby boy (he's not really a baby anymore he is almost 16 months old) named Samual. He is just the cutest and has the greatest laugh EVER! I never realized how much I could love until he came along. My boys are the glue that holds me together on the really rough days. They mean more to me than I could ever express with words.

Back to me! I have a B.S. in exercise physiology and will be starting graduate school this August. I will be attending the University of North Dakota, where my husband is a professor. We moved to ND a year ago, on July 4, 2010, from Illinois. I am originally from a very small town in Indiana called French Lick. (yes, that is where Larry Bird is from.)

north Dakota is a great new adventure for us, but it is truly far from home. I have started this blog in hopes of connecting in a new way to friends and family and even with myself...

...enjoy.
