All About Me

I have always wanted to write in a journal. I have entire notebooks half filled with my futile attempts at keeping some sort of record of my feelings. For some reason, I always fail. I will write diligently, every day, until I forget once, then twice…and then it just seems like so much work to fill in my diary with everything that has happened the days I have forgot..so I just give up. I am also very aware of what I write, knowing that anything written down is fair game to be interpreted by others. However, I love to hear peoples stories, and I hope one day my children will want to hear mine. Hopefully I will be around to tell them, but if not, I want to make sure they have a way to feel like I am here, telling them myself. That is why I decided to start this blog. To share my story.

My life did not turn out at all how I had planned. It turned out so much better. I fell so hopelessly in love when I was 17, got pregnant with my beautiful son shortly after getting married at 19, and here I am. I am currently raising an amazing little man, struggling through school, running a daycare, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of my second baby! I have my wonderful husband by my side through it all. I am consistently in a state of quarter life crisis. I am trying to figure out what the heck I am going to do with the rest of my life, what I believe, and what kind of mark I want to leave on this world. I am a work in progress.

I am ridiculously silly. I always have food on my shirt. I dance more than I walk. I cannot sit still. I think WAY too much. I cry when I think someone has gotten their feelings hurt. I read the news every morning and then panic about what the world is coming to. I really need to stop reading the news.

This is my Wonderful Husband:

And Our Wonderful Son-Zane
