Welcome to the personal blog of Alli Crumley. I am the wife of Damon, aka Auburn Elvis, and the mother of Fuller (4 years old) and Tebow (born February 2009). We have a family blog where we write about our family life in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

We live in a house that is bigger than a breadbox, but not by much. My husband says it is just under 1100 square feet. We are living in the house while we renovate it, inch by inch, year by year (going on ten years in April). When we have a big project going on, the house kind of shrinks, making it seem even smaller.

The thing is, I don’t really have a place of my own. I can’t escape to a room with a door that locks so that I can have some “Alli time” and as the days go by, I find that is necessary to my mental well being.

If I can’t have a room or space of my own in my own house, then I am claiming this spot on the internet as my own. I can work through my issues and figure out who I am and who I am supposed to be. I know in the end I will always be Alli, but I need to figure out who Alli is.

This blog is supposed to be a place where I can focus on myself. Sometimes the line between the this blog and our family blog is blurred a little bit, but I usually bring it back to me, me, me. If you want the 140 character version, please feel free to follow me on twitter.

I’m updating this “About” page on March 6, 2009. I really should update it again in six months. If it still says March 6, 2009 in 2010, please remind me to fix is.
