30 Days of Thanks- Day 3

Today I am thankful for my education. 
Without my education I wouldn't be:
Where I am today. 
Able to write this blog. 
Read the books that I love.
Cook and bake my favorite recipes.
And so much more. 


Going to school and getting an education was always something that I took for granted until I got older. I always thought that everyone, everywhere received the same education as me. I was wrong. Once I realized that, I learned to cherish every lesson, easy or difficult, that was taught. I also learned that your education isn't limited to just the classroom. A persons education consists of everything they learn in life. 

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."- Nelson Mandela

Sadness of September

The month of September is a very emotional month for family and for myself. September brings birthdays, wedding anniversaries, cornfest, and anniversaries of the passing of my Grandpa and Grandma. Just as anyone else would say about their own grandparents, my Grandma and Grandpa were two of the greatest people I have ever known. They were full of love for each other and full of love for everyone else. Words can not begin to explain how much we miss them both each and every day. My Grandpa and I summer 2009 I was very lucky to have spent the last month of my grandpa's life with him. I was able to gain a month of memories that I will hold in my heart forever. On September 27, 2013 my family and I got to say our final good-byes to such a wonder man who will forever be in our hearts.   My brothers and I with our Grandma. Summer 2013 After my Grandpa passed away, my Grandma moved in with my family. Four days shy of the two year anniversary of my Grandpa's pas

Dear Future Me,

Dear future me, There are so many questions I want to ask you! There are so many things I want to know about you! Did you graduate college yet? Have you gotten married? Have you had kids? Where do you live? Do you work? If so, where? Did you ever figure out how to do winged eyeliner without looking like a total mess? Although I have all these questions, there are a few things I want to remind you of just in case you have forgotten. . The first thing I want to remind you of is very important. I want to remind you of all the bad, upsetting, and trying time you have had. You may be wondering why I want you to remember these times that you have tried so hard to forget; but trust me, there is a reason. Just think back to them. Do you remember? It's because of those times that you are where you are today. Yes, the good, happy times play a part in the success you're living today but it's because you worked hard, stayed positive, and looked toward your future during those r

30 Days of Thanks- Day 25

Today I am thankful that I was able to start Thanksgiving dinner prep.  We were able to make pumpkin pie, crust-less pumpkin pie, cheesecake and the cheesecake topping.   We were also able to put together the relish tray and chop the vegetables that we need for tomorrow.  Having the time today to get some stuff done for tomorrows dinner comes in handy because it is less we have to run around and do tomorrow.  It's also helpful because we were able to make sure we didn't forget anything for Thanksgiving dinner.
