A New Start for Me

Well I have a few friends who have blogs on this website and I absolutely love that you can share so many things with a blog, with your friends and family, so I decided to try it myself.  I'm sure my blog won't be as beautifully laid out as the ones which lit a spark of inspiration within me, but I wanted to try my hand at the blog world nevertheless. 

So where do I begin?  We begin all stories in my family the same way:  I was born a poor black boy. . . And so I was!  And they called me Megan.  

My childhood was happy and full of adventures.  My parents loved me and my brother and sister annoyed me (at least at first).  I was raised to be taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the traditions of my family and the testimonies of those who loved me inspired me to learn the truth for myself, and my own knowledge of the truth has shaped who I am today.  Who am I?  Well, I'm a wife and mother, a legal secretary, an afghan-maker, a cookie-baker, a sunbeam teacher, a singer, a pianist, a giant, a diabetic, an occasional cryer, a daughter-in-law, a nintendo-player, a bed-maker, a diaper-changing booger-wiper, a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a Daughter of God.  Yeah, that pretty much sums it up, and today I become a blogger! 

Today I carry out my duties as wife and mother the best way I can while our young family struggles through times of questionable politics, economic uncertainty and natural disasters.  I work part-time as a legal secretary to help support the family while Scott attends school full-time.  He graduates in May, 2011 and we are so ready to be done with school and to begin next big adventure in our life.
