288 My legacy

 I say this quote on facebook.  I love it!  My goal in life is to leave a positive legacy.  I want people to remember me for the good I did in life not the bad.  Now I know there are people who have only known me during dark periods of my life when I was on the wrong path making wrong choices.  I wish I could find everyone of them and show them were I am today and apologize for any wrong doing.  But I still think some of them wouldn't let go and believe I have changed.  I am better person now than in college.  I was lost and confused then.  Weren't we all?  I don't want people to remember me for those mistakes.  Here's what I want people to remember me for:




That I just took risks instead of sitting back and thinking what if.  That I followed my dreams while not crushing someone else's dream.  I want to be remembered as a great mother and wife.  I want to be remembered for all my volunteering and helping others.  I want to be remembered as making people's lives better.  This is why this quote today hit home.  I really want to give it a try instead of wondering what if. 

287 Proud mommy

My daughter sold enough magazines to get a limo ride to Chuckie Cheese.  She had a blast.  I explained that we aren't taking a limo the next time we go:)

 

283 family photos

We did family photos today at 3 locations.  We had a blast.  One of my closest friends has started doing professional photography.  So she came into town to take pictures.  We had a blast.  This is a photo I took with my phone in between locations. 

279 Extraordinary Ordinary Man

I am married to a 2011 Extraordinary Ordinary Man of the Year Nominee.  I am blessed because he is extraordinary and HUMBLE.  He is an incredible husband, parent, employee, volunteer, and most importantly Christian.  I am beyond proud for everything he does and he never publicizes it.  He prefers behind the scene stuff.  Tonight he was honored for making our community a better place.  He is on the Executive Board for the State Farm Holiday Classic, leader for ALL Iphone Uversion support, helps with events at Gabrielle's school, plays trombone at church, helps with cameras/graphics for church, helps with internet publication for church, volunteers to ref Upwards basketball, helps at softball tournaments, raises money for Relay for Life, and the list goes on and on.  That is all the stuff he does for everyone else.  I didn't even list all the stuff he does for his family and work.  He is amazing and I am blessed to be his wife.
