Well I guess i've been TAGGED......whatever!
Seven interesting facts about me are:
1. I love life today! I am seeing things for the first time, it may sound weird but it truly is the coolest thing to be where i'm at. I love being in Recovery, doing things with other people that are on the same path as i am. I love all the people who are in my life today because they are in in my life for a reason. I learn a lot from other people, I never used to be like that I have always said," I need to experience things on my own." I am learning that i can learn from other people that go before me.
2.I love being a mom it's the greatest gift that god has given me. I realize that she is heavenly fathers child and i am going to do my best to teach her the things that will help her become the wonderful Daughter of god that he has intended her to be. I love to watch children, they can be sterssful at times but when i can calmly sit back and watch them inneract with eachother it's pretty incredible. Kids make it real what life is all about. If we could remember whtat we teach our kids this world would be a lot more peaceful!
3. I love being married it has taught me to be PATIEN, KIND, and TOLERANT. I love being married to someone who is also in Recovery and is learning that this life is a learning process. I love that Clayton is his own person and so different from me. I used to expect him to be a certain way,it has taken a lot of practice to see him in a new light which I am so grateful for because he is an incredible person. I am so grateful that he is such a loving Dad.
4. I love to hang out with my family, we don't get to spend too much time as a unit becuse Clayton is either working or I am in school or working so when we get to spend Good Quality time together it's awesome!
5. my ideal day would look like this, Wake up and read out of my meditation book, go to the gym and have a really hard work out, come home put Jayni down for a nap, put some cleaning music on and clean my house spotless. Get ready, Go get lunch at Olive Garden and have the pasta with Green peppers and chicken(don't remember the name) Go to the park with Jayni then go get a Dr. Pepper!!! and then come home and Have my homework done for class, Fix dinner(maybe) then Clayton and I would go get a movie and Ben and Jerrys Strawberry cheese cake and put Jayni to bed and watch the movie then Go to bed at Ten oclock.
6. wow reading that perfect day puts a smile on my face. That's what my days used to consist of but with everything else added to my life I have learned to be ok if there's a spot on my floor and laundry piled up(not too high). I do the best I can each day and am learning to let things happen and not try to Role play my Days. I am becoming very appreciative of every precious moment cause I swear there's not enough hours in the day:(
7. Last thing is that I want to be a therapist for women who have been through some of the things I have and anything else. I say women right now but that could change that's just where i'm at, I want them to feel empowered and see their heads held high.

Maryann I tagged you for a selfish reason, I really wanted to hear your thoughts. I loved reading your ideal day. It sounded great. Isn't it funny what mom did to us with exercise. i think a good workout would be in all of our perfect days. People probably think we are crazy. I have really enjoyed seeing you at least on tues and wed. I would love it if you joined us on the stop sign. Thanks for the good reading it made me smile :) Love you, Michelle
Maryann, it made me smile too. You really have learned alot. Your perfect day sounded great. I want you to know that you have taught me so much, just listening to your experiences and how you have learned from them. Thankyou so much for being you. It is kind of different knowing other people can read our messages, but that's okay, I would love everyone to know how wonderful my children are and that I love each one so very much. I just read Lauralee's and I had to smile also. Michelle's was great also.
MARES!!! Hi!! I'm so glad that you found me on here! That's so crazy too, cuz I just barely found Stephanie's blog! You look like you are doing so good! I'm so happy that you are doing well and in the recovery process (I know it's a long process!) I don't really talk to Nicole much anymore, but I always wondered what happened to you! You sound like you've got things pretty figured out, and I'm so glad! I wish I lived closer to you so that we could hang out! Your little Jayni is adorable! I love that she's a little toe-head like you!
It's so interesting to see what everyone lists. I'm glad you did this!
I loved that Michelle tagged you.. I loved reading your thoughts too! I don't really know you that well, so that was really fun!!! Love ya. Congrats on your progress...
Ya I remember Brady! I love him! He texts me every random once in a while with a random thought! I don't talk to Nicole very often, but she has a myspace account that she checks every once in a while, it's just www.myspace.com/nicoletarr.
And as for the blog template, you have to make your own but you can find the instructions at www.sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com. I bought my papers from www.shabbyshoppe.com, but they have a ton of cute freebies too.
Hey do you know Adam Ingersoll?
Ya, seriously, way sad. Check out their blog, it's www.adamandalissa.blogspot.com.
Do you ever talk to Brady anymore? Did you check out Nicole's myspace? I tried texting her, but I don't think her number works anymore
Maryann...it's your long lost friend Ashlie!!! I found you through Shari Bailey (used to be Kelsh) she is in my ward now, funny huh. Anyways, how the heck are you? Call me or e-mail me or something. I would love to hear from you. Judd and I just barely started a blog the other day, it's kinda lame but you can visit it at www.juddandash.blogspot.com Anways, keep in touch, I miss you!
Love, Ashlie
