My very first blog!!!

So, here it goes...I'm not sure how this will turn out, but here is my very first blog (drum roll please!!). I guess I'll start off with a disclaimer - the only reason I am taking the time to work on this now is because I am on Thanksgiving vacation. Not unlike any other vacation, unfortunately, it is flying by!! No worries though...we're having fun.

This morning we awoke to a wonderful surprise...it was SNOWING!! We couldn't have been more surprised. We had just enough time and snow, for Riley to roll a small snowball before we headed off to school. School was a blast as well, since I volunteered there this morning. I try to go at least once a month; fortunately I am able to since my schedule is so flexible while I'm in school. This morning I watched the class during music and we made a book about what we were thankful for at Thanksgiving. The last page of each book was a picture depicting the friends and family they were thankful for. It was a really great project that made me think about what I was thankful for.


Being a single mom, while going to school is no easy feat - especially financially. However, we have always had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our back...which is more than some people have. With that said, I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving. I'll leave you with this quote: "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present." ~ Anonymous
