It's gravy, baby has issued a blogger challenge, and I've accepted it, this being day 2! Today's challenge is "The person or persons that make your world go around." Just to give you an idea, in case you haven't looked at her site to see the entire month's challenge, here are the first 7 days:
- A photo of yourself with 10 facts.
- The person (or people) that make your world go around.
- Your favorite show.
- An experience that made you who you are today.
- Your day.
- A favorite memory.
- Something you use every day.
My 3 boys. They are my life. From left to right is Jordan (17 today!!), Kristopher (20) and Kelly (24 on Sunday). This picture is actually over a year old, so I'm hoping to get a new one in the near future as Kristopher will be coming home from Afghanistan for his 2 week leave. I'm SO proud of my boys. Kelly just got his first apartment, Kris is serving his country and Jordan made it to the State Finals in bowling and plans to join the Army when he graduates high school next year. All of them are hard workers and very respectful and know what they need to do to get what they want. I love having an open communication with them that they feel they can come and talk to me about anything without judgment, but can expect love and honest answers, which can sometimes be a harsh truth that they may not want to hear, but need to, and that's why they're willing to talk to me.
Bryanna, my adorable 4 year old granddaughter. While I may blame my son for making me a young grandmother at 36 and making my hair start to turn gray (Seriously, there is no way it was a coincidence that I got my first gray hair just a few months after he told me he was going to become a father). She is an absolute angel and smart as a whip. I miss her terribly as I haven't been able to see her as much the last few years since I moved, but I'm hoping to change that in the near future so I can watch her grow into a beautiful young lady.
Kevin and I got back in touch with each other just before Thanksgiving of last year on Facebook. We hit it off immediately and began dating in December. I can't put into words how much he's helped me face some tough times and how exciting it is to be in love with someone who gets me. He is my rock.
Okay, so this isn't an image of a person or persons, but it is an image to reflect my housecleaning group, PCC. Every single magazine out there always has an article about how to organize your life. But like anything else that doesn't create a habit, you're back to living your life the way it was and it ends up looking like this again. Our group is based on a point system for household chores. For example, you can earn points for housecleaning, decluttering, running errands, and personal healthcare (such as weight loss). While the group may have started off as a support group for housecleaning, a select few have also become my best friends and have been with me through thick and thin. My best friends, in alphabetical order, are: Amanda, Ann, Annette, Celeste, Jamie and Teresa.
Last, but certainly not least, is the rest of my family, which includes all of my aunts, uncles and cousins.
