Introduction to the Hawkins




This is my first blog, and I have the best way to start it. I'm so excited about this upcoming weekend...it's my 5th wedding anniversary! Oh how the time has flown. Although Jason and I have been together for 8 years, it doesn't feel like we've been married for 5. I'm not real sure if that's a good or bad thing, but either way, it's been quite the journey. Jason and I have accomplished a lot in the last 5 years. Happiness, a beautiful 1st home, etc. We still have no children, but I'm not in any hurry for that next chapter in my life. I'm perfectly happy with my 3 wonderful dogs...Allie, Duke, and Lucy!!! I am again in Graduate school pursuing my master's degree in elementary ed. And this time I WILL FINISH!!! I have a habit of wanting things NOW and then I get discouraged. But, I am a determined person and I am determined to teach. Kids are my life...I know, I know...then why don't you have any? Well, I want to be settled so I can be a good mom. I know money is never there when you have children, but that's not what I mean. I want to be happy with my career and know that I'm ready to take care of someone else. Right now, I can barely take care of me and my husband. He's like having a grown child. I'm just getting practice. lol Jason is still working at Infolab. I think he's just waiting for me to finish my goals and then he will feel more comfortable to start on his. Life is wonderfully hectic right now, and I probably wouldn't want it any other way. When things are too easy, and everything goes my way, then I start to worry that it's all a trick. I like being on my toes and being prepared for whatever life throws at me. With all that said, I'm hoping for a very wonderful and promising 2009!!!
