It's Been A While



Hey there! It's been almost 10 years since I posted and so much has changed. I have decided to start back blogging personally mainly for me as a journal and if you'd like to read along that is great! I started by updating the look of this blog and cleaning it up a bit.

I don't even know where to begin and I have so many things to say. Do you ever feel like that? Let's see...


One big change is the kids aren't little ones any longer! Allie just turned 13, I still can't believe that! How is it possible that the baby that made me a mom is growing up so quickly? She is in 8th grade, loves her cats (some things do not change), Irish dances, is an amazing student and a wonderful friend!



Jackson is no longer my squishy little snuggle buddy that he was 10 years ago. He just turned 11 over the summer and started 6th grade! WHAT?! He loves baseball all year long and basketball in the winter. He completed Cub Scouts and is now on to Boy Scouts and loving it! I really can't say how proud I am of both of them! They are both really amazing kids!




I have also gone through a lot of change. I stopped teaching in public school eight years ago (I could write a whole post about that and some day I will) and ran my own photography studio for many years, which I loved! I am now the K-5 Director of Religious Education at our Parish. This is my second year doing this and I have to say, I really enjoy it quite a bit! I love having a positive impact on the faith of the children in our parish. One of my favorite things is to teach them how to give their faith feet and as Catholics if we can do that it gives us a reason to be in the pew each week!


Wilmington River walk at Sunset! So beautiful! This summer, I fell in love with Wilmington, NC and the surrounding area. My brother moved to the area a couple of years ago and my parents moved there this spring. Early this summer they purchased a new home and I flew down to help them unpack and settle in! Needless to say, I LOVED it there. Beautiful location, family and friendly people, what more can you ask for?



I am really looking forward to documenting more and writing more.
