Cole (3/5/98) is the first-born child to Jamie and Heidi. His parents were young when they had him. His father was 23 and his mother was 18. His parents met in 1995 at their workplace, Langley Electronics and Camera. Jamie worked in the front of the store, helping customers and selling electronics, and Heidi worked behind the scenes in the photo lab. They were friends for two years before they became romantically involved.
Although both his parents wanted a boy, they opted not to find out if the baby was a boy or a girl. However, blue was Heidi's favorite color and everything that she purchased for the baby was blue. This dismayed her mother, who thought the baby was a girl. During her pregnancy, Heidi worked at two different photo labs and then did temp work at an auto dealership. At the time of Cole's birth and through his babyhood, Jamie was working as a web developer in a company he started with his mother and step-father.
The couple had great trouble agreeing upon names for their upcoming arrival. Jamie liked "salt of the earth" names such as Matthew, while Heidi preferred unusual names like Adriel. Through much deliberation they came up with a list of about 20 names each for boys and girls. They decided not to choose one until the child arrived. They also kept the potential names a secret from everyone, not wanting any negative input, such as "I knew a girl named Mary in first grade and she picked her nose and peed her pants. I hate that name."
Cole was the first grandchild on both sides of the family. His birth was so anticipated that there were dozens of people at the hospital waiting while his mother was in labor. When he arrived his mother wept tears of joy and his father was so giddy that he could not stop smiling. His father took around 200 pictures in Cole's first hours of life. The name on their list that they'd been considering the most was Lyle, but the name did not fit their son's face or personality. They chose Cole, another name they loved. They felt that it was a very noble sounding name for a baby who seemed to be a very noble old soul.
Cole spent his first year in an apartment in Rosslyn, and then the family moved in with his maternal grandparents so that they could save some money. As a toddler, Cole was adored by all who knew him. He was enchanting with his cleverness, his clear speech, and his sweet personality. He met all of his milestones early, and his parents have always been so proud of him and find him a joy.
Cole has grown to be a brilliant and sensitive young man. He absorbs knowledge easily and is an expert on many topics that interest him such as ichthyology, computer programming, chemistry, biology, geography, the Presidents of the United States, creative writing, and illustrating comics. He is a friend to those in need of a friend and he is very concerned with doing what is right. He has friends that love him, teachers that are rooting for him, brothers that look up to him, and parents who encourage him and want for him to be happy.
Cole has interesting adventures ahead of him. In the future, Cole would like to attend MIT. He will surely be successful and happy in an occupation of interest to him. He is such a sensitive sweet and handsome fellow, that this writer feels that he will marry the girl of his dreams, live nearby, and have a beautiful family with lots of children for his mother to be a grandma to. Kidding aside, Cole's future hopefully holds hobbies that he enjoys, a job that he loves, people around him that love and appreciate him, joy, and many mistakes to learn from, for as Albert Einstein said, "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” With Cole's amazing abilities he will certainly be trying new things.

I have no accent. None whatsoever. I have taken many scientifical internet tests and I have a total non-regional accent. And for this I am sad because I love almost all accents. I wish I had an exotic accent. Actually almost any accent would do. I mean, except some sort of New York/New Jersey/New England and I don't want a backwoods twangy one (which is totally different than the very cute deep south drawl). Sometimes I try one on for fun when no one I know is looking. After having watched Flight of the Conchords for two or three days straight, I spoke in a New Zealand accent for an entire shopping trip once. My kids didn't call me out on it or even ask the whole time. They are too used to my weirdness.
My question is, does a non-regional American accent sound cute to anyone? Probably not here in the US, but maybe in other countries? Is there anyone anywhere that hears it and says "I love your accent!" I get the feeling that all American accents sound like a slack-jawed-yokel to the rest of the English speaking world. I think it's so prevalent in the movies and on TV that it just sounds like how water tastes.
And for fun, here is a World Guess My Accent quiz. And here is an American Guess My Accent quiz.

On January 2nd 2008 I bought a Betta fish named and named him Adriel. I bought a fish because my youngest child had gone off to school and I needed something to take care of. I named him Adriel because that was the name I wanted to name my oldest child, but my husband said "No." That is what he says to mostly everything I ask him. Except he didn't say it that nicely that time. Adriel is a boys' name, by the by, albeit a kinda girly boys name, and here is my proof. But he was a very beautiful fishy, so it seemed right that he should have a fancy name.
As I have mentioned previously, I am frightened of animals. This was the beginning of my exposure therapy. I bought myself a pet that I didn't have to pet!
Adriel was the most friendly little fish I've ever met. Miles even taught him how to jump. I was very sad when he died last November. I buried him near my morning glories that are the same shade of blue as he.
I started writing a little memorial blog for him, but I didn't want to do it until I could get my pictures of him off of my phone. But my phone was broken and wouldn't send picture messages. It had been like that for a few years. A few weeks ago, while we were in line for Lombardi's Pizza in New York (which? so freaking delicious) Jamie decided he'd had enough and called our service provider to tell them. And what do ya know? They fixed it right over the phone. In like five minutes. So now you know how lazy I am. But also I now have pictures of Adriel (and also a good many other people that were stuck on my phone).
Here is my nice fishy Adriel. Wasn't he just beautiful?
