A New Start

So, it has been several years since I've posted anything on this blog. Wow. I have done some new things in the past few years, but updating this hasn't been one of them. Obviously.

So, what is going on in Melissa's World?

Well, I took up Substitute teaching. I love it. I have a real heart for Special Education. The students are so precious. I have been doing it for four years now.

I have dabbled in some content writing, but want to do more. So now I am thinking I should start with this blog. I don't know if I can be committed enough to blog every day. I want to do it, but I know me.

I guess I will see how it goes.

Thanksgiving time

I love Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite times of year. I always loved being with my parents at this time of year. Now I'm married with my own family and a large extended family, so Mom doesn't do Thanksgiving anymore. In fact, now my parents usually are gone south for the winter way before Thanksgiving. My husband will be hunting, which is his family's tradition for Thanksgiving and we will go to his sister's house in the evening to have the big family dinner. So during the day, the kids and I will have our own dinner and spend the day together. Maybe we will hit the stores that are open so that the people who are working won't have to stand around twiddling their thumbs.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Home at Last!!

Ahhhhh! Finally, my dream of staying at home with my children has come to pass. Thank you Lord! Nathan finished school last week and now our summer will begin! I am so thankful to be finally able to spend this time with my children. We have planted a garden, we will play outside and ride bikes. We will read together and enjoy each other! I will hone my cooking skills instead of fast food, we will have nutricious meals around the table together!

Together! That is what is so awesome!
