Well, here I go...

...into the land of blogging!   I have never been one to dip a toe in and check the water temperature.  I usually just jump in feet first and have at it!

This is my first attempt to begin blogging, so let me introduce myself:

I'm a Christian.  A sinner saved by grace.  I don't deserve how much God loves me, but He does.  He loves you, too!

I'm a wife and mommy.  My handsome hubby, Joey, and my cute as a button little man, John, are my world.

I'm a country girl.  I am blessed to have grown up in the country, and I LOVE it!  I live in a farming community, surrounded by fields, woods, farms, and family.  I'm so glad I can have my family's garden in my backyard and reap the benefits from it.  I'm looking forward to canning and preserving all kinds of stuff this summer.

I'm a teacher.  By trade.  I choose to teach.  I love to teach.  It is life-changing.  I've been blessed to be in the lives of middle-schoolers for 16 years.  Wow, I cannot believe I've been doing this for 16 years!  It hasn't always been easy, but it has always been rewarding!

I'm a proud Plexus Ambassador!  Plexus has blessed and changed my life in so many ways in the past 6 months.  Even though it is a recent addition to my life, it is a part of who I am as much as the things above.

I want this (hopefully) daily blog to be beneficial to me, as well as an inspiration to you.  If you choose to make me a part of your online world, you will read about:

1. Christ's saving love, 
2. my family and its wild and crazy adventures, 
3. recipes and country "stuff" I have tried and loved (and that may have failed miserably), 
4. school stories (with names with-held:)), and 
5. Plexus.

Thanks for giving me a read!  I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
