Beautiful blogger

Thanks Shalayne! Even though haven't been great about the blog lately! I promise to be better. In order to accept this award, I must share 7 things you may or may not about me.

1) I am the fifth generation to grow up and live in Sonora, Texas. My granddad's grandparents homesteaded the land. The ranch that I am currently blessed to be living on has been in our family since 1903. Growing up I swore that I would never come back but now I can't imagine a better place to live. Lynden is the sixth generation!

2) I have the privilege and honor of having 2 babies under 1 year 4 days a week. I am super blessed to get to be a stay-at-home mom and the honor to play with Miss Presley Ann a few days a week while her mom is teaching kids at school. Thank you Shalayne for trusting me with your beautiful baby girl. (And thank you Babywise for teaching me how to schedule babies!)

3) In our first year of marriage, we got pregnant, moved three times, had a baby and walked with my mom through her battle with breast cancer. August 16th- Married in Sonora, Texas. Then I moved to Odessa, Texas where Cole was living. Beginning of October- was shocked to found out that we were 4 weeks pregnant! November 10th- Moved to Corpus Christi, Texas. June 4th- Lynden Cole Cearley was born. July 31st- Moved back to Sonora, Texas. What a year!

4) I am a super organized person. I label everything that I possibly can and make a list every chance I get. It makes life a lot easier on everyone! (So I think anyway!)

5) I am sad to admit that my nervous habit has been the same for years. I hate it but I still bite my nails. I quit for probably 3-4 months after having Lynden and thought it was beat but all of the sudden just started back again.

6)Sonic is one of my favorite places to go. (Only in a small town!) Large Coke please!

7) I am starting a new chapter of my life starting January 26, 2010. My entire life my Poppa has been right by my side. He took me to school every day from kindergarten until I was a freshman in high school. He was there for every sporting event, recital, vacation, even weekly dinners. All the good and bad times, he was there. Poppa went to get things ready in heaven for us and I am going to miss him more than words could explain. Now it's learning to live life without him.
