About

I’m Sheri.  I’m 39, I live in the midwest. I been married for 14 years, we have 2 handsome boys, ages 12 and 10.  Oh, and a big lunk of a dog, Coach.  Coach will not be doing tricks for you, he is too busy sleeping.

I grew up in a tiny town. My graduating high school class had 15 students. It was a great place to grow up.

I dated my husband for 5 years before marrying him. For those without a calculator handy, 5 years of dating, 14 years of marriage….. a long time. Basically I can’t imagine life without him. I know, I’m very lucky.

I love going to movies. My favorite are really good scary movies, like Silence of the Lambs. My husband and I actually go to a movie about once a year, usually on our anniversary. 

I’m a homebody, but I would like to go out a little more often than our once a year date. 

I’m a horrible housekeeper, not so great cook, absent minded, completely unorganized goofball. The part about still being married after 14 years is really a miracle.  So I should probably forgive him for the once a year movie date.

So what do I do? Hmm, there’s karate, baseball, piano lessons, Boy Scouts. Oh wait, that’s not me. I’m just the driver, but that keeps me pretty busy. I actually do have a job, I work at home for a great company, but I have to fit that job in around my chauffeuring gig.

I love having boys, but sometimes living in a house with 3 guys and a  dog, it’s just too much. Then I have to watch Food Network to decompress. Even though I can’t cook.

 Why UnexpectedBliss?  

It feels like I’ve spent alot of time waiting for the next thing, like when our kids were babies and we were desperately waiting for them to sleep for more than 2 hours at time. Then we were waiting for them to walk, to talk, to feed themselves, always waiting for the next big thing to happen. Then one day I realized, big things have been happening all around me, all along, and I’ve been so busy waiting, I may have missed some of the good parts.

This blog is about finding the bliss, even the tiniest moments, in unexpected places, right now, today.
