Thankful...

 The WCMS fundraiser is always a good time. I  laughed, talked, and spent to much money with fellow workers and friends. The smile was on my face but my heart was a little heavy. A year ago today one of my former students was killed in a freak accident. Spencer Nicodemus was a senior in high school who was getting ready to graduate and take on the world. As people remembered Nico and talked about him, it was amazing at all the lives he had touched. Nico lived a life that was ready to meet God at any time. He lived each day to its fullest and left a mark on this world. He knew no strangers, helped out anybody, and put others ahead of himself.  Life is so short and I want to make sure that when it is my time to meet God I am ready. Even though my heart was a little heavy, I enjoyed tonight and tried to live like Nico.

    I'm sorry your heart was heavy last night, but I think you did a good job hiding it and pulled a Nico on us all! Hugs friend!

Last Day...

Today is the last day for me to blog. I have really enjoyed doing it BUT I do not have enough time in my life to blog right now. There were times I was stressed to the max because I would get so far behind. I would get caught up and then get behind again. I love the ability to just let my thoughts flow so freely and see them in print.There were times I would want to write some things but didn't because of who could see my blog. Will I blog again? I will absolutely do it again!!!

Baseball...

      Well, tonight was the first night of Little League baseball practice. We had our first travel ball tournament last weekend in Arkansas. Baseball and I have a love/hate relationship. I love watching the game and Brody play it, and I love watching the game and hate watching Brody play it. The minute the game starts I get millions of butterflies in my stomach. This is his eighth year playing so you think it would be no big deal for me. When it comes to Brody and sports, I am a worrier. He can hold his own and stay right up there with the rest of his team but I always worry that he is going to get in a slump and everyone else will shoot way ahead of him in skill and ability. I have no idea why I feel this way.  I can tell you that it is a miserable feeling. I would love to be able to go to the games,  sit back and enjoy them, but instead I sit there and worry with millions of butterflies in my stomach. When the game is over, the butterflies are gone, I hug him...

Life...

     Life is so short!!! It seems like not long ago I was young carefree and living life as a high maintenance teenager. Now I am middle aged, with a child, trying to figure out how I got so old so quickly. Don't get me wrong, I love my life and wouldn't trade it for anything. Most of the time I don't really think about it but there are those times that it hits me like a brick wall. For instance, we had a travel baseball tournament this weekend. One of the other mothers was talking about how it was her mother's ?? birthday...she is only 3 years older than me😒. Yep, that's when it hits me that my life is halfway over. Eat the cake, buy the shoes, and take the vacation because life will be over before you know it.
