Wow, it's been a while since I've posted something on here. Sometimes, I couldn't even remember if I already had an account on here or not. I think I slack on blogging or posting mainly because I don't know if there's anyone out there reading it. A person tends to feel a bit better if they know at least one person in this big, wide world full of billions of people is listening. Hmm...I always wonder and continue to do so.
Well, since my last post many things have happened (of course lol). I was recently voted as Teacher of the Year at my school. I thought it was a huge honor just to be nominated. I had no expectations of winning. God has blessed me very much with that. I'm not big on being in the center of the spotlight. In the past, when I was in the center of the spotlight I was made fun of or mocked. So, the past continues to haunt me even with my strengths. Weird, isn't it? Do you ever feel that way sometimes?
Jason started a new job (about 5 months ago) which he absolutely loves and enjoys. Financially, it has helped our family a great deal. I'm so proud of him. He wanted to pursue bigger, better dreams and he did just that. I believe he's on the road to breaking all the walls he couldn't destroy earlier in his life. He's such a strong person and knows exactly how to get there, even if he has to ask for directions. :)
Yes, we definitely went out and conquered Black Friday again this year. 3 straight years in a row and still having fun standing in lines in cold weather. lol Deals are what drives us and saving is definitely a big plus. I appreciate the fact that I had to do a lot of things on my own when I was younger. Even at a young age, I had to buy groceries and things that most teens received regularly from their parents. I believe this showed me early that spending money in crazy ways just doesn't feel right. In the back of my mind, I always think about the necessities first and then the special extras. Sometimes I wonder what life would've been like if I was raised in a rich family. Would I still be the same as I am now? I doubt it. I am thankful that I had to start working at 14 years old to provide things for myself. I don't wish things were different back then because I wouldn't have the financial knowledge that I share with Jay now.
