Why Marzipan??

Well, this will be my first posting. I've had an account for awhile but never had the time to write anything. Also, I believe I'm not much of a writer so I have chosen not to participate in the past. Quick frankly, I don't know what to "say". Anyone who knows me, knows my life is an open book. There is not much that happens and if something does happen I usually share it with conversation. So, this blog-thing seems quiet usual and different for me. However, I have enjoyed reading my family's blogs. Their postings have been entertaining and informative of their lives. So, I thought I would give it a shot.

Why Marzipan?

One day my husband just started to call me Marzipan. I believe there was some influence from Joshua, my brother in-law. I vaguely remember a discussion about a cartoon character named Marzipan. I don't know if this character has any resemblance of me or not, but the name just seemed to fit, according to them. As for me, I intensely hated the name (at first). I never heard of the word before so it sounded strange to me to be called something I didn't understand or know. Now, I know what it means...and it's not too bad. I've grown accustom to the name and actually enjoy be called Marzipan or Marz. I often sign my emails "Love, Marz".

I have other nicknames that I enjoy too. The most popular among friends is Reese and with family it's both Reese and Marzipan. I've acquired another nickname from a group of friends that I played softball with. I've played softball with these girls most of my life, from the age of 7 until 32. These girls have been with me through many changes in my life. With that said you my be able to picture a young 13 year old girl out in left field yelling (or attempting to yell) a softball chant. One might describe my "yell" as a hight pitched squeak...so my nickname developed from that, as "Mickey" or "Mic" for short. Anytime I happen to run into anyone of the girls from the team they greet me as "Mic!".

That's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this little tid-bit. I don't know when or if I will post again. And, I know I need to add some pictures etc...
