About Me

My photo
Brunswick , Georgia, United States
I am a child of God, a wife and mother. I have been truly blessed with a wonderful and loving family; they made me who I am today. I have meet some great friends over the past few years, and without them, I wouldn't have made it though some of the hardest times in my life. I decided to start this blog because there are so many things that I want to share with those that I love. From the smiles that I get from my beautiful children each morning, to times where I can't seem to get out of bed. Enjoy!

New Me!

Ok, it's a new year and yes, like every one else....I am trying to lose weight. In the past year I have gained 20lbs! I sure loved to eat while pregnant...but it is time to shred it! I have made it my goal to complete the 30 day shred with Jilian Michaels. I have tried it once before, and failed...this woman is a BEAST! She is so hard core, she expresses it in the way she walks ;-) Hopefully because I have more motivation and support (thanks Heather) I can complete the program this time.
I am tired of not having anything to wear in my closet and I refuse to buy bigger clothes!

I have also made it my goal to become a New Me. I want to laugh more, cry less, love harder and experience new things. The only way to do this is pour myself into God. He has given me the most beautiful little girl who melts my heart everyday, a husband who my best friend and a family that lifts me up even when nothing else can. With all these wonderful things in my life, how can I just sit here and not give God all the glory. It's because of him that I am here in the first place.

Last two goals...

I am using the word "goal." I hate the whole "resolution" word...it sounds so bad. Most people choose an impossible one of dropping 50-100 pounds, stop lying, stop swearing...so on and so on. I use the word "goal" because you can work towards it and it will always be there. A resolution is very advantageous and rarely kept.

I want to stay on track with grad school. It is difficult juggling work, school, and family each day. The item that seems to be the lowest on my list is school at this point, but I would still like to keep in on my list. At this point I have about a year and a half to go....and man does that seem far from reaching!
My last goal will be to obtain a job in public school. I enjoy my job where I am now, but it is not where my heart is. My three year olds are sweet and loving, but I want to get down and dig deep in upper elementary standards :-) I love how students respond, work and think in the third, fourth, and fifth grades...it is magical! (yes, sometimes not so much)

Again, these are my new goals...and hopefully I will be able to work towards them and eventually reach them.
