This Is Me.

I figure This Is Me is a good title for my first blog. Because this blog is about well...Me. Oh, also my crazy, unbelievable life.  So let me break it down for you.....

Christian
Wife 
Mother of 11
Owner of a restaurant
24 years old

My husband and I got married about 2 1/2 years ago. We had a son, Sebastian. Unfortunately, he was born with a kidney disease. He was with us for 8 months and God decided to take him home. During that time my husband and I opened an Italian Restaurant, Ciao Bella. It is actually quite an amazing restaurant. We serve authentic Italian food, nothing like Olive Garden. May 2nd we are FINALLY opening up our Wine Bar. We didn't have our liquor license for a while. How awkward? Italian restaurant with no wine? Anyway, a little over a year ago my husband, Christopher and I won custody of his 9 children. Yes, nine children. I couldn't believe it either when I first heard. Two Weeks before we got custody of the "Burnham bunch" (what I like to call our gang of kids) we found out we were pregnant with our second son, Samson. Christopher and I went from two boring people to a loud, drama full, chaotic 12 person home. Thankfully, a little over a year later we are all still healthy and most importantly ALIVE. :) 

 
The Husband and I

Adrianna 7 (going on 19). She is the girl that wishes she was the oldest. She is just precious.
  
 Guinevere 5. I think she is the best 5 year old in the world. The kindest, smartest, cutest little girl.
 
Anastasia 4. She is sweet, loud, precious, crazy, and smart. Not a good combination for a 4 year old. She will give you a run for your money!!!
