I am so glad you have decided to come in here and visit me.
I know what you're thinking, your wondering why I have two
pictures of myself up. Well, the first one is the one
most people think of me like, it was taken 3 years ago when I was 24.
The second picture is me now, at 27. That picture was
taken April 2000 of my mom and I, whom I hold very dear to
my heart. What a change huh? I guess age and wisdom changes
a person(LOL). I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom, which I enjoy very much.
I get to be with our beautiful sons every minute of every day, which means I get to
experience every new thing they experience and learn. What
could be better than that? Growing up as a little girl, when I would think about what I
wanted to be one day and thinking about plans for when I was grown, all my
plans ever consisted of was being a mother. That's all I ever
wanted was to have kids and be able to stay at home with them.
I guess I have to say things couldn't be more perfect.....

	The Girl I Used To Be She came tonight as I sat alone.. The girl I used to be.... And she gazed at me with her earnest eye And questioned reproachfully: Have you forgotten the many plans And hopes I had for you? The great career,the splendid fame, all the wonderful things to do? Where is the mansion of stately height With all its gardens rare? The silken robes that I dreamed for you And the jewels in your hair? And as she spoke, I was very sad For I wanted her pleased with me... This slender girl from the shadowy past The girl that I used to be.
	So gently rising, I took her hand And guided her up the stairs Where peacefully sleeping, my babies lay Innocent, sweet, and fair. And I told her that these are my only gems, And precious they are to me; That silken robes is my motherhood Of costly simplicity. And my mansion of stately height is love, And the only career I know Is serving each day in these sheltered walls For the dear ones who come and go And as I spoke to my shadowy guest, She smiled through her tears at me. And I saw the woman that I am now Pleased the girl I used to be. Author unknown

This poem is dedicated to my sons!! I love you two very much!!

That Little Chap That Follows Me
A careful mother I want to be... A little fellow follows me. I do not dare to go astray, For fear he'll go the self same way. I cannot once escape his eyes... Whatever he sees me do, he tries. Like me, he says he's going to be That little chap that follows me. He thinks that I am good and fine, Believes in every word of mine. The bad in me he must not see, My life to him must an example be. I must remember as I go Through summers sun and winters snow, I'm building for the years to be For that little chap that follows me.
