Never thought I would blog but....

I never ever thought that I would be the type to blog, but I see more and more of it around lately, and it just makes me want to embrace the chaos in my life and share it with the world. The way I see it, I am not the only mother/wife who deals with this chaos. Why not embrace it and see what comes of it. Maybe I'll meet some other moms and form new friendships? Who knows, I just figure that it's worth a shot! I don't know if my blog has any specific topic, but I assume that it will mostly be about my life personally and with my family. Very simple I know....

I suppose I should start with a little bit about me. I'm one month shy of being 23 years old, yet when most people meet me their jaws drop to the floor when they hear that I am so young. I suppose it is because I have been married for 3 years and have two children (adorable ones if I do say so myself) ages 5 and 2 that pretty much keep me occupied. I just graduated from Northwestern College with a degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in early childhood and reading. I had my daughter, Jaedyn when I was a senior in high school and I vowed that I would keep following my dreams of becoming a school teacher so that one day I could help her reach for hers. I just recently took a job as lead preschool teacher at a nearby preschool and on the side run my own business sharing my love for books with parents and children by being an Usborne books consultant. It is so rewarding and is my way of sharing the importance of reading with those around me!

There are a lot of missing pieces to this puzzle I call my life. I hope that it is not confusing and that I am able to share those pieces as I continue to blog. I guess my purpose is not to see that others are like me, but maybe to show somebody else who has ever been at a low point in their life, as I have often been in my own, that "this too will pass" and if you just keep truckin, life eventually smooths out the rough patches on it's own. Anyways, it's already 1:15 in the morning here, and I believe that it is far past my bedtime! Lots of things to do tomorrow......
