First Time Blogger and a Little About Me

So I am trying this blog thing...
I have heard so many people talk about their blogs. My two sweet cousins blog about their family escapades all the time, and I am a little jealous! :) I love keeping up with family from all over through facebook and blogs, so I am going to "give it a go" as a friend of mine from England says.

I promised a little about me...
Where to start? Well...

...I am a proud, Southern, Christian woman, from a long line of proud Christian men and women. Not all of them are Southern. I come from some good South Carolina stock, and some equally good Illinois stock!

...I proudly call Christ my Savior and Lord. I could do NOTHING without Him! I'm sure you will hear more about that as I meander through the blogosphere...

...I am married to a marvelous, wonderful, outstanding man, the love of my life! Joey is attentive, caring, handsome, loving, and an amazing daddy!

...I am a new mommy! John Redden is my sweet Little Man! From the moment I knew I was expecting, I loved the little Butterbean, but when he finally got here, I fell hard for that sweet little bundle! More info on him to come as well, I am sure!
...I have a wonderful stepson, of whom I am EXTREMELY proud! David is serving the United States as a Marine! I am so proud of him I could just burst!

...I am a teacher. I have taught middle school for 11 years. Shhhhh... don't tell anyone, but I secretly love it:) I love seeing that lightbulb go off when a student "gets" a lesson.

There is much more to me, but I'm sure that you will learn more as I head down this blogging path!

Join me if you will!
