CELEBRATING MY 100TH POST!!!

Humm...how to celebrate? I remember in elementary school we used to celebrate the 100th day of school my decorating our clothes. I remember wearing 100 safety pins on my shirt (not so bright now that I'm looking back), 100 cotton balls glued to my shirt in the shape of "100", and having treats in class to celebrate the milestone.

Thinking about this post got me thinking about other milestones in my life...memorable milestones. I haven't displayed them in any order, but here are a few of what I consider my most memorable or meaningful milestones in order to celebrate this not-so-meaningful one!

1) I graduated highschool with a 3.7 GPA (and still wasn't in the top 10)! (2003)

2) I married the sweetest man in the world, my best friend. (2004)

3) I graduated from APSU with my bachelor's degree. (2006)

4) We had our first child together, Michael, and changed my life forever. (2006)

5) We found out we are expecting our second child, a daughter, in late March. (2010)

My life has always been defined by my family, both immediate and extended. I may not have had the "Beaver Cleaver" type family, but we've always had love. My parents taught me by example and through life lessons that you really don't need much in this world to be a happy person. I don't need a mansion, or a brand new car, or even brand name cereal (LOL). All I really need is a positive attitude, to be true to myself and the woman I want to be, and love for and from my wonderful family. I hope that in the future, what ever milestones I am fortunate enough to cross, only bring me closer to my family and closer to being the woman I was raised to be.

Cheers...
