It's not a new beginning...

My life is a lot different now.  It's not where I expected to be.  It's also not a new beginning.  My past is part of me.  My past shaped me.  I learn from it, I grow from it, and I own it.  This isn't a new beginning for me.  My life began years ago.  Just like everyone else, I've faced hard times and experienced good times.  Why would I want to erase all of it and start over?  That isn't who I am.  I am who I am today, because of my past.  I'm still on the journey of my life.  I will still have good days and bad days just like everyone else.  I'm not perfect, and that's okay.  I'm not trying to be perfect.  I'm just trying to make each day count, make each relationship count, and at the end of the day make sure those close to me know they are loved and valued and so special!  This blog is created to help capture my memories, thoughts, and of course keep my mom updated on what's going on in my life.  Love you mom :)


I absolutely love my kids!  Tyler is 8 and Grace is 10 and they are so fun to be around!  They are incredibly smart and loving!  The rule of taking pictures with them, is if they have to take a nice one, they have to take a "fun" one as well.  Most of the time, I'll post the nice pics, but this one was too much fun to pass up!
I am also a Notre Dame fan and doing my best to get my kids on board!  So of course, I signed them up for the Notre Dame kids club.  We went to our first event, women's basketball game, and we had a blast!
