First Post

I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now, but I felt like I needed to wait for life to start (aka started having children) before I had something to write about. But I have realized that I need to be satisfied with my life now, in the present. And I am! God has blessed me so richly, and I want to use all that He has given me for Himself. The purpose of my life now is not to pass the time idly, until some point in the future when I can really start 'living,' but to bring Him glory. I hope that I demonstrate those values in my blog.

I am a 21 year old college student, and have been married to my wonderful husband (Reed) for almost 2 years. We moved to VA to go to school, and while we now are students in a distance learning program over the computer, we still live in VA. I am a full time nanny, the next best thing to having my own. I watch 7 children during the week, all under the age of 5. Reed and I view children as a blessing from the Lord, and hope to start our own family soon. I assume that our trials and successes in that area will be a large part of this blog. :) Reed works at Starbucks while he finishes up his degree, and is an amazing, selfless husband.

Though I don't know yet how often I'll post, I look forward to 'meeting' whoever is reading this. Feel free to comment. :)
