I am starting a new blog series that will tell you a little more about me. I'll write these posts once a week until I'm done telling my story. If you are curious and want to know more about me you'll want to read this series.
Our most recent family photo from a couple of years ago.
I am a 40 something wife and mother of five children. I have been married to the same wonderful man for almost 20 years. I have two girls in college and three boys at home. My youngest hasn't started school yet, so he keeps me pretty busy. Even though my family is widespread in years, I wouldn't change anything. I love my kids and wouldn't want to be without them, even when they are driving me crazy.
My husband is a teacher and a writer with a great sense of humor. He makes me laugh all the time. We have a wonderful marriage even though we have had many ups and downs over the years. If you would like to read some stories about how we got together and started our life together you can go to his website and read the chicken stories. He has written quite a few tales from those years.
Family is very important to me and inspires me to do what I do. My faith is also inspires me and makes me who I am today. I am a Catholic and feel the love of God in my life every day. My faith life keeps me grounded and helps me keep others foremost in my mind. I'm not in this world alone and I have the responsibility to do what I can in a real way to help other people. There are many people in this world who don't have someone who cares and I need to try and show that I care in a concrete way. I do this by any way that I can, which sometimes just means donating money to worthy causes. As a mother of young children it is sometimes difficult to get out and participate as much as I would like. I am working on this and hope to do better in the future.
I hope that you have enjoyed this glimpse of my life. Next week I'll tell a bit about my childhood.
