    A Favorite Memory of Mine

    by  • August 31, 2011 • Ramblings

    Today is the last day of the Veracity Blogathon. I’m proud to say that I have blogged every day this month! It really helps to have prompts…even though I have been able to throw in a few regular posts throughout August. Here is the last prompt:

    What is one of your favorite memories that invokes your friends or family? Why is it one of your favorite?

    The first memory that came to mind was the day I gave birth to Sawyer. It is one of the best days of my life, and I was glad that the ones I care about the most were there to share the special moments with me. It’s obvious why it’s one of my favorite memories…without it, I wouldn’t have my amazing little boy. :)

    When I Grow Up…

    It’s a new week of prompts for the Veracity Blogathon. This week is domestication. Today’s topic:

    When you were younger what did you want to be when you grew up? Looking at ur life now, how close are you to that job and what do you aspire to do now career wise?

    As far back as I can remember, I have wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I used to have old desks from a school here, and I would pretend to teach my cousins. If I was playing alone, I would teach my stuffed animals. When my sister was little, I worked with her and taught her most of her alphabet before she went to school. I love children, and to me, teaching is one of the biggest impacts you can make on the future.

    Since having Sawyer, however, my career goals have changed a little. Right now, I want to continue being a work at home mom, doing freelance writing and internet marketing. I cannot imagine having to send him to daycare at this point. I want to be home with him so that I can prepare him for school. Daycares around here are nothing by babysitters, and I want my son to learn as much as he can before he starts Pre-K. James and I have also considered the idea of me homeschooling, but not sure yet.

    A Trip to Heaven

    by  • August 17, 2011 • Ramblings

    Last night, my sister and I went to see Justin Moore in concert. He came to our little town to do a benefit concert for the new high school’s football team. I am amazed that the president of the Touchdown club could get someone famous to come sing for our town. The show was great! Justin sang for over an hour. He did some of his songs and some covers of old rock and country songs. He has an amazing voice and can really hold a note.

    When he sang “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” it really got me thinking about my grandfather. The song is about missing is own grandfather and how he wishes he could pack up his family and take a trip to Heaven to see him and a few other people again. For me, the song hits very close to home. I lost my papa in 2006 to lung cancer. I’d give anything to be able to take a trip up to Heaven to see him again. I’d take Sawyer so he could meet him. While there, I’d also want Sawyer to meet James’ parents. He will never know his grandparents on James’ side because they have both passed away. I never got to meet his mom (she passed away about 4 months before we met), and his dad passed away in 2008.
