Double the Fun-Blogtember

So I thought I would follow suit and try this Blogtember thing that a few of my friends are doing. I honestly don't know how well I will do with it but hey--it's worth a shot.
So if you didn't catch on Blogtember is a series of blog prompts for the month. I don't even know who does read this but whatever I like blog prompts.
It actually started yesterday so I will do yesterday's and today's so double the fun.


Day 1:Don't forget where you come from
I would have to say that I come from pretty humble means. Which would probably explain the fact that I'm not all consumed with having the biggest house, the nicest car, or the latest gadgets. On both sides of my family no one was ever swimming in money, or living extravagantly. All of my grandparents lived pretty modestly. My Grandparents on my one side lived in a trailer a lot of their lives and after that lived in a very small house. I too just recently moved into a small house...and found that I was actually more comfortable with it than most people would expect. I mean it's not teeny tiny, but it's small for a family of four...but I find myself more at home here than the house I just moved from. This society is always pushing you to get more, telling you that bigger is better...but I've found that I have much more peace in the opposite. Part of that I know is from where I come from--another part is God teaching me contentment.
Personality wise I come from a long line of stubborn, outspoken, anxious, and strong people. I am the same way. My family on both sides has gone through so much in their lives sometimes that is just the hand we are dealt. But I'm thankful that God has given me those traits passed down from those before me so when the hard times come I not only have the peace and comfort from my Heavenly Father,but the strong will to carry on as well. Family can be complicated, but I'm thankful from where I came from, no matter how messed up it was sometimes.



Day 2: 3 months off-if I had three months off from my current life, I would get out of this town...I've always wanted to go on a Road trip on Route 66...there would be pictures, lots of pictures. I don't think I would want to be away for the whole 3 months so I would concentrate on all the things that I want to get done...like getting all my pictures organized, working on craft projects, etc. I'm not the most adventurous person so I'm completely fine with a boring 3 months off. If it means relaxation I'm in.
