What are 5 passions you have?
It's sad that I have spent a couple of hours figuring out how to start this blog entry and it really doesn't need an explanation. So here goes, in no particular order.
1. One of my passions is your dad...and I don't mean that in a gross-your-kid-out kind of way, though that's true too. Hehehe! I love your dad so very much. We have such a great and powerful relationship. I want to always be the perfect partner for him and to appreciate how he is the perfect partner for me. I don't want to ever take him for granted or let him take me for granted. I am grateful every day for him being a part of my life. As I've gone through my journey with your pregnancy and plan for being your mom, your dad has been there for me through every step and I can't wait to parent you with him.
2. I am passionate about reading. I have love reading since I was little. I remember your nana reading to me when I was very young and how much I couldn't wait until I could read. I used to spend my allowance on books from the scholastic order forms. One of my favorite gifts every Christmas was the book that I knew I would get. I still love reading and finding new books that will interest me and some that will get my students to find a love of reading. I look forward to introducing you to books. Your dad and I already have some books to read to you and that doesn't begin to include all the books I still want to buy. I want to help you find a love of reading and see how wonderful reading can be.
3. I suppose it probably doesn't need to be said, but it is one of my passions: I am passionate about being a good mom and raising you to be a responsible, caring, respectful adult. I haven't done this parenting thing before so I'm concerned about doing it right. I read all that I can so I can know more about how to raise you so you have every benefit I can give. Your dad and I talk about choices that we are going to make in raising you so we'll be on the same page and be together in the way we raise you. I know we'll make mistakes and that you probably won't appreciate everything we want to do for you at the time we're doing it. However, that isn't going to stop us from doing our best for you. So many milestones to experience as you grow up. I can't wait!
4. I am passionate about sports, most specifically K-State sports, but about sports in general. I participated in sports from the time I was in elementary school through high school. I think sports teach you a lot and can help you grow as a person. I will never push you to be involved in sports if you don't want to, but I will encourage you if you are interested. I coached sports for a while and felt very strongly about the importance of sportsmanship in student athletes. I wasn't ever a coach who believed that everyone had to play, but if you were willing to give it your all, I was willing to give you a chance. I really enjoy watching sports, though I don't always think that the things I value most about sports are shown in the sports I watch. I don't think you stand a chance of not having sports be a part of your life. In fact, your dad looks forward to watching sports with you and explaining them to you. :)
5. I am passionate about my friends and family. My family is incredibly important to me and I would do anything for them. Your grandparents have been my strongest examples of the importance of family. They raised me to know that you do everything you can for your family and never let being upset with someone in your family stop you from loving them. Your dad also values his family, especially growing up with his family as such a huge part of his life. I am also a strong believer that family doesn't stop with those who share your blood. As you will discover, my godchildren and their parents are most definitely a part of our family. I am lucky enough to have some of the best friends ever. They have been such an incredible part of my life, supporting me when I needed it, laughing with me through the good times, sharing the joys, comforting through the sorrows. They have always been there for me and I will always be here for them.
