Seasons of Change part 1

So ok.... I'm doing it! I'm joining the world of blogging! This is exciting I must say! So much to say and where to begin :)

Really the theme of my life these days is transition and who knew that I would love it? I am surprising myself! This weekend we had our Ladies Conference at church (which was fabulous by the way) and I went to a breakout session on personalities. It was really fascinating! I took the test thinking I would be one color and as it turned out I am actually more dominate in another! For those of you who have taken the TrueColors test... I am a gold/blue... I know...what a shocker! Seriously, I don't think I am all that organized or structured, but as I took this test I realized what a "by the book" kind of gal that I am! And honestly I don't usually enjoy uncertainty, which is why this transition time would normally freak me out, but I have to say I am truly loving life at this moment!

September was unbelievably busy for us! First of all both of the girls started Mother's Day Out this year! I remember thinking... "What will I do with 7 hours all to myself?" Ha ha that is funny! I now have a list that will take me up to the end of the school year! There is that gold coming out again:)! They both love it and their teachers are just precious! So Tuesdays are an exciting day at our house!

So that brings us to the fair! DUNDUDUDUN!!!!! Yes we survived another year! And believe it or not I did not cry even once! That in itself is a miracle! And I didn't gripe and complain either! Again another miracle! Have you ever felt like God kept putting you in a situation to build some character in your life and you just kept failing the test over and over again? This is me with the corn dog stand! Every year I would just dread it coming and every year I would gripe and complain and every year I would have to repent and tell God and several others I am so sorry for letting my mouth and emotions get away from me! So this year I was bound and determined to pass this stinking test (and I do mean stinking...there is no other smell like that of corn dog grease... it might just be a living organism)! Anyway by golly, I think I just might have passed this year! What a pleasant year it was too!!! I officially handed off my sacred corn dog notebook to Pam this last Wednesday and crowned her Queen of Corn Dogs! One chapter closed...another one opening!


Ok so next post I'll catch you up on October so far... it's been really exciting!

Welcome to the world of blogging! And from one gold to another...don't you just love lists? Although they are best when they get to be checked off...

I do love lists!! And spanking new spiral notebooks and untouched yearly calendars:)...This explains so much!

I just found your blog! I like the lists, but I am far from a gold. I must say I am very impressed with your absence of whining this year at the fair! I think anyone involved as much as you are in the Corn Dog world deserves a few moments of whining, but you are one tough lady!!! I'm just so glad you passed the test and the notebook along to someone else!
