The first of many.....

So, i've started a blog. I've been talking about it for a long time now and figure, while it might just be one of those things like journals and excersize that seem to be put on the backburner in my life...maybe this habit will stick. As for the title. My entire life, well since I was 15, there has been an issue with my name; Deborah Leigh Brown Holt, thats it. It seems like a simple enough name, the issue is that when I was 15 I decided to become "Leigh" instead of the "Debbi" I had been up to that point. Recently one of my friends found out about this prior use of "Debbi" via the wonderful world of FACEBOOK and now it is a big joke amoung my new friends who know me as "Leigh". So, her husband who thinks he is SO amusing asked her, to ask me, if i've ever "Done Dallas". Well I thought it was funny because I think he is SO amusing too and that is where my blog title came from. Sorry mom, if this has any bad implications....for the record I have never "done" any kind of city, well not in the way that it implies.

The meat of who Deborah Leigh Brown Holt is. I was born in a tiny town, Harrisville, MS and considered myself not as much from there, but only being reared there until my parent's found a city more presentable. I have since become very fond of my childhood in my very tiny town. There is a lot a country girl knows about things that I think would have otherwise passed her by and for this, I am proud of Harrisville, my hometown. I will skip a whole lot of nonsense and put you to the me I am today.

I am 28 years old. I have a fantastic family and wonderful friends. I married a wonderful man January 15th, 2005 who is a pilot in the Air Force and is the wonderful father of our 2 boys. Parker is almost 3 and is exactly like his father in action and genetic makeup. They could be twins and are both annoyed by people's lack of understanding on things they think are important. Elijah is almost 2 and is hilarious and big goofball and thinks its hilarious to get on the nerves of those aforementioned men, mainly his big brother. I also have a cocker spaniel, Jolene who my husband bought for me just 2 weeks after we got married and 3 weeks before he deployed for the first time being my husband. She is as spoiled as any dog who was raised by a lonely military wife can be expected to be and thinks that she owns our house, and well, she does get her way most of the time. All of the people in my life are delights and I have so much fun with them and lots of worry, and LOTS of wondering where my sanity will go when the final thread does leave me. That is enough for today.

My following blogs will probably be about these people who I have named but i'm sure I will drag more names into this whole thing before its all said and done. I hope SOMEBODY out there can relate to my crazy life and has fun reading and commenting!

Leigh, or Debbi (yes this is what it has become)
