My Family

Hellow!

 I'm not sure why, but I have always thought that the hello needed a "W" at the end and I sometimes accidentally spell it that way when i'm in a hurry. Today I though you needed to know a weird little fact about me and the "W" in hellow is it!

My name is Lindy Reich. In 2010 I married the man of my dreams and man have we had some adventures since then! The army life can be hard, but it is so worth it, at least for us! Because of the Army we are currently living in Northern Italy and it is one of the best experiences of my life. I feel so privileged to live in such a beautiful and wondrous place. Living here has and will provide us a plethora of opportunities to travel all over Europe. My purpose behind starting this blog is to have a place to share my crafting, cooking, travel weight loss and any other adventure that I might have. 

This is me! I volunteer with the girls 12 to 18 at my church and this was taken at a ropes course activity. I have always had a love for anything artistic, drawing, sewing, painting, crafting. I am taking online classes towards a Bachelors in Human Development with a Minor in Psychology and an Undergraduate Certificate in Childhood Development and Care. I grew up as the middle of 5 kids, but when my parents remarried (different people not each other, hehehe) I gained a few more family members. 

Let me introduce my dashing husband Leland! We met in high school, started dating my senior year and got married the summer after my freshman year of college. Leland joined the Army in 2011 and in 2012 deployed to Afghanistan. He's home now!!! He is an adventure junky, loves snowboarding, skydiving, hiking, and fishing. Needless to say anything outdoors and that gets his blood pumping he loves. Leland is the youngest of 6 kids was born in Idaho and claims Spokane Washington as his hometown. His ideal place to live is in the mountains with no one in sight .

Meet Odyssey! She is a Shih Tzu and she knows it. We got her in 2010 when she was 4 months old a couple months after we were married. Right off the bat she knew that she belonged to us and wouldn't stray far in new situations. Odyssey is definitely more my dog than my husbands. Perhaps because she knows that she isn't his favorite either. He thinks that to be a "real" dog they have to be tall enough to pet at ones side without bending over. She is sweet, cuddly, loves to explore and gets supper excited to meet new people and have them come to the house.
