Hello you wonderful people! Let's share, shall we? Let me apologize for this super long post!
So I've been thinking, since I'm technically an
adult now (Eewh! I hate that word.) I should really take the initiative to keep up with things that I really enjoy doing and teaching Bentley new things! So I have made a list and what I want to expand on. Let me tell you why! :)
To start out one of my favorite things to do is
crafting. I think my love for all things paper, fabric, and glue has come from my mother and how she raised my brothers and I. You see, in order for her to actually be able to raise us she did home daycare for many years and then worked at a child care center while I was still young. When working in these areas you have to of course keep the kids entertained, so thus crafts and homemade games were born! I have developed my own love for different, more difficult crafts including
crocheting! I am trying to build a better understanding for this wonderful art and plan to create a granny square throw for my living room. Wish me luck? I think crafts are important in people's lives,
especially kids! They need an outlet for creativity and I love to see how their little minds work with materials. Bentley's always going to be busy creating things with me! :)
Another thing that I see to be of great importance is to get Bent out of the house. A couple of ways that I am to do so is
camping and
gardening. These (I think) are super fun. You get to be dirty and run around outside. I have the greatest memories of camping with my family and Logan's. I hope Bentley will like it as much as we do! I hope to take him on a waterfall adventure where we go all around and see how many waterfalls we can see in a day, camping at the last one! Fun, right? :) Planting a garden is also fun to me. Seeing all of the beautiful colors all together when you plant a flower bed. Tasting the fresh veggies hand picked from it, knowing there aren't any gross chemicals on them to make you sick. In the spring, we plan on planting container gardens since we live in apartments and don't have a big yard. Do what you can though! I've even been seeing some very pretty Primroses out already! Woo-Hoo!
Blogging! Duh, I love blogging! It has opened up a new world for me where I have the ability to share and journal my feelings and thoughts. Tracking Bentley's milestones along the way. I started out just using a notebook and keeping a diary, but found that I didn't really enjoy it as much and would forget about it. With my blog I love designing different things for it to make it pretty and always, I mean always want to be on it! It's rather addicting. From wanting my blog to be the best it can be my love for
web design was born. I have even been interested in taking college classes to better learn and understand about all the programs available to me. We shall see what my future holds for me! I hope to keep blogging and maybe even open the door to my children as a way to help them it their feelings and coping mechanisms.
Being active is super important. Finding different activities to do that you enjoy and keep your body up to par is a big part of life. For me their are many different things that I love to do to keep myself happy. These include
Water Skiing and
Cheer leading! In high school I was on the cheer squad for 2 years (would have been all 4 if I didn't have such a hard high school life) and was totally in love. I went to camps and bettered myself with different skills. I wish I would have joined an elite team to travel. Another sport that was a huge thing in my life was water skiing. I grew up on a lake and would go out on the water with my family. It was learned at a young age to have fun tubing and skiing. When my oldest brother's ex-girlfriend came into our life she introduced me to the world of the water ski show teams! I got to climb human pyramids, and do tricks with a doubles partner! We went to state and had so much fun. Since it was such a big time commitment (4pm to dark all week and shows on the weekends) I could only do it for one year since I got sponsored. I was devastated and hope I'll be able to join up again when I move back to Wisconsin!
Talking about Wisconsin, the hubs and I were actually talking about our plans on what we are going to do when we move back. We might just go right ahead and
build our dream house! Since we have our vehicles now and the loans will be paid off by the time we go back home we thought our house was the most important thing. We want to buy land and build in Madison since it is so beautiful and far enough away from our other life so we can set our own roots on a city! Plus schools are amazing there and it's beautiful!
Okay I think I can shut my mouth now since this post is very long and probably boring (sorry)... BUT if you do like this idea, why don't you link up? Don't forget to grab a Dreamy Meadow button to post underneath! :) You can find on on my sidebar or on my about me page!!
