A New Look, and A New Leaf

Hello there my few fellow readers. I hope this post finds you well. If you are new to my page then welcome and I hope you enjoy it. If you have been here before then you will notice a new look and some added features. Yes I am slowly adding in varying new aspects to my floundering blog. I started this blog knowing somewhat what I wanted out of it, and even though it was on my mind a lot I have been lazy and not put forth the effort towards it as a should. However, that is all about to change, and here is why. . .

Recently my family and I got to spend sometime with a mutual childhood friend. It was a great visit with this particular individual and his wife, one where a lot of laughter was shared and a good time was had by all. We swapped stories about what we have all been up to lately and the friend turns and asks me "And what grade are you teaching again?" I tell him I am not teaching anything, instead I am staying home with our son. He tells me that is good and then proceeds to say "I'm sure now you have more time to write don't you?" Both me and my husband went "Huh?" He went on and said "Yeah, didn't you use to write a lot or want to be a writer one day?"

I was totally taken aback by this. By the fact he remembered this minor detail of my life, one that I had almost forgotten. In reply I said "Well, yeah I mean at one point I did, I do blog some, but really I just don't feel like people really care what I have to say." The conversation pretty much ended there, but the idea was reborn. I couldn't believe he had remembered something about me, something I had forgotten, something my husband really didn't know existed, just because it hasn't been a big part of my life.

This brings me to here. Today. Right now. With a renewed vigor and interest in writing, in blogging, in doing what I love. I am been granted time, time to do those things that are most important and it is time I used it wisely. I am praying that God will grant me ideas and things to talk about, interesting topics, and will get me over this writers block.

To celebrate the "new leaf" turning, here is a pictures from the fall photoshoot my family and I had earlier this past month.
