My Mama {Day 12}

Today's topic is to blog about something I miss. Well today is an appropriate day to blog about my sweet mama :)

Even though my mother isn't with us on this Earth anymore. I know she is with us in spirit. 

I think about her at least once a day and it makes me so sad that she is not here to share in the joy of little Sally. Yup, my mama's name was Sally too. That is why I now have a Sally of my own. 

. 

 My mother was the most supportive and loving mom that a child could ever have.

 I am so fortunate that she was able to stay home with me when I was little and I love all the memories I have of us together.

 I am so happy that she stayed on Earth long enough to meet Joe and be present at our wedding. I know it gave her so much joy to see me so happy with a man that she had been able to meet, spend time with and love.

 Happy Mother's Day Mommy! I love you and miss you every day!

My training group that I have been doing did our 5K(Oak Hall) on Sunday. Although I did not go super fast by any means, I was very proud of myself and set my PR! Here are some pics from after the race!

Bonus points if you know who this is!! It's Hollywood from the movie, Mannequin. I was so excited when I saw it was coming on Tv this week...so naturally I set my DVR and recorded it!

It's totally 80's and super cheesy but I love it. Here is my favorite scene:

Woo-hoo! Our whole city is swept up with Grizzlies fever!!

I did Zumba last night at the Germantown Athletic Club. I felt pretty silly since there were some girls there that looked like pro's with their belly dance belt things on. I had fun though!

Day 6

What I Do

How much time do you have?? I kid, I kid...but I do several things.

First and foremost, I am a wife and mother. Those are the most rewarding things in my life. Being a wife and feeling loved and needed are so important to me. I cannot imagine not having this in my life. Being a mom is something that I always wanted and I feel so grateful and blessed that God has given me the opportunity to be Sally's mom.

I am also a Kindergarten teacher. I have been teaching in the same school for nine years and love it. Having my days filled with songs and art and learning is very fun!

I am a baker. I own a special order cupcake business called Monkey Bread Bakery. Baking a hobby that turned into a side job. I love creating pretty things that people can eat. 

I am a travel agent. This is my newest side job. I love all the planning that goes into travel so I decided to start helping people. My passion is Disney World but I can also do all-inclusives, cruises, etc.....just about anything! Here is my new blog for that. It's a work in progress :)

Day 7

The Thing I'm Most Afraid Of

My worst fear is loosing someone that I care about. After loosing my mom to cancer a few years ago, I saw how difficult this can be. Every day is easier but its still a struggle. My fear now is loosing Joe or Sally. I cannot imagine the pain involved with loosing a child.
