About

Well believe it or not people actually come to our website. Imagine that. Some of them don’t even know who we are! So here’s an About Me page (BTW our last names are rushing, so rushingaround.com is a funny, haha…ha…yeah).

Steven Rushing

I am a jack of some trades. I: Design webpages (although this one is a common WordPress installation for ease of use), Write, Teach (at church!), Game (Wii and DS currently), Read (OSC all the way!) and try to keep up with the news through my overstocked feed reader and talk radio. I am husband to Märia and Daddy to Seporah and Felicity.

That is the short of it. Life would be bland and grand if that was all it was. But there is this word to describe life (mine and yours) and it is “complicated”. Seporah and Felicity are a handful. I have them 1-2 days a week all by myself all day long, and you can just cross off all those other things you see up there, as they take up all day. I hear this is normal. I wonder why we aren’t extinct yet.

But when I don’t have them all day Märia is the most wonderful helpmeet I could ask for. She is the most wonderful mother I could have hoped for for my children, the most adoring wife I could ask for, and gorgeous to boot! Home life is great, and if it ended there, I couldn’t ask for more.

But yeah, again, life is complicated. I am in the army, and pull an interesting shift schedule. For the last 6 months or so I have pulled 12 hour night shifts, leaving me just about useless during the day to my wife. Not so fun. Not for me, for her, or for those two little terrors I started off with. =) But we all do our best and if the house isn’t always the cleanest, at least our kids are alive at the end of the day, and everyone is happy enough.

We live in Hawaii. I would say “Enough said”, but you would interpret that as my saying it is a good thing. Heck, interpret it however you like.

Märia Rushing

Hello all, I am a naturally born klutz who is far too gullible for her own good. This is a constant source of amusement to those who surround me and a constant cause of injury to myself.

I’m currently working double full time. One job as a Pediatric Registered Nurse. And the other as a Mommy to Terrible Twos Seporah and Colicky Felicity. As well as being a wife to Steven on the side. How do I do it? Well, partly I’ve lost my sanity and gained the ability to function on no sleep. But mostly I’ve got a great husband who does half the cooking, half the cleaning and half the child raising. He also gets thoughtful gifts well in advanced of the actual occasion they’re meant for. And yes he does have a brother, but he’s already taken.

I have recently started running in the anticipation of completing a marathon, yes that is 26.2 miles, and no I am not crazy. I love reading chick-lit and mommy blogs (when I get the chance) and am a person that constantly has the music on too loud (or at least when 2 little beings I created aren’t in the car). If I could, I’d have an entire walk in closet devoted to shoes, as it is I have a little tiny quarter of the shelves next to the front door.

Living in Hawaii has made me realize that no one should have to live without Target and the Olive Garden, so understand that if I happen to visit you on the mainland that’s on the To-Do List. I wish I had more hours in the day; with my creativity I’m sure I’ll be able to figure out how to accomplish this someday. However, with my luck the extra hours will be filled with poopy diapers and broken crayons.

Jason Rushing

Hey You!… yes… You! I’m Jason.. I’m kinda the third wheel of RushingAround. I’m the little brother to Steven, and brother-in-law to Märia, the son of Lonnie, and past running partner to Russell. I live in South California and am a self-diagnosed internet addict.. I play a few video games and guitar from time to time.. and am almost out of the Marine Corps! YAY!

I am the proud completer of three marathons, and am hoping to run the Rock N Roll Marathon with Steven and Maria this coming June. I’m kinda a goofball, and tend to carry my sarcasm too far. I love food… I’m just recently not single any longer.. I.. guess I only have one more thing.. it’s a quote that you need to take seriously.. Within the meanings of these words you will find and lose yourself… take them and apply to every aspect of your life.. “Rubber ducky… You’re the one..”

Sarah Rushing

Actually her name is Sarah Ming, but since she’s marrying Jason relatively soon, we’ll ignore that little fact. She’ll write her own about me when she gets the chance between making wedding plans and teaching her preschoolers.
