Well, I've decided to join the "blog world". I guess I was inspired by all the blogs I've read since I have joined Pinterest. Speaking of Pinterest, it has changed my life. When I make my grocery list each week I have to pull up my food board to find recipes. I am becoming as reliant on Pinterest as I am on Google! Anyway, I guess my first blog post could be a little bit about me.
My name is Mindy. I am married to my best friend, Timmy (aka Tim, T-Bo, TJ depending on who you are), and we have a wild, fun and sweet 2 year old boy, Maddox. We also have a dog, Tucker, that sure has brought plenty of excitement to our lives! Luckily since Maddox has come along, Tucker has calmed down a bit! We are also blessed to have a lot of family that live close by and can be a part of our lives.
Since my husband says I can't be a stay at home mom, I am a special education teacher for kids with learning and behavior disorders for grades K-6. I'll go ahead and respond to the comment that I get on most occasions...yes, it is challenging some days but most days it is fun and rewarding! I think being a teacher is the next best thing to a stay at home mom because you still get to be with kids all day... oh yeah, and you get summers off!
I also really love taking pictures and learning about my camera and lighting for good pictures. I am hoping that someday I will be good enough to do some photography in a more professional way. For right now though, I will just keep practicing by taking a million pictures of Maddox, my nephew, and my niece (soon to be nieces). The other day I walked in the living room and saw Maddox holding my phone up to his face with a big smile saying, "cheese". It made me laugh because most times when I tell him to smile and say cheese, of course, he won't!
Some of my other interests are scrapbooking, reading, and shopping. However, since I have a 2 year old and we are working on becoming debt free it pretty much means I don't have a lot of extra time and I don't have a lot of extra money for things like that right now.
Finally, probably the most important thing about me is that I love God. I know that everything I have and everything I am is because of Him. I go to God with everything. I am almost incapable of making a decision without praying about it first. I know that I am so unworthy of God's love, but He loves me anyway and for that I am so grateful. I find my comfort, peace, strength and joy in Him. My hope in this life is that I will be the person God has planned for me to be and that I can learn to be more like Jesus.
