Tradition blog

In my family Easter is a big holiday. I grew up in a very christian household and celebrating the day Jesus arose from the grave is very important. The day begins with church services, (for most of them) then back to my sisters house for family time and a big meal. We usually enjoy lamb of some variety, and other various side items, and of course the traditional lamb shaped cake for desert. The real tradition in my family however, is the time spent while this meal is being prepared whether it be helping out in the kitchen, hanging with everyone who is not occupied, or taking care of the kids. Holiday dinners bring out the best and the worst in my family and some are great and others disasterous, but always part of life.

What's In My Wallet?

The contents of my wallet will tell you a little about who I am. I carry my driver's license, which gives you my basic statistics, debit card, club cards for Best Buy, Costco, Petco, which tells you that I like to save money and that I have pets in my home. I carry little to no cash at any given time. I have car insurance and carry proof of that with wherever I go. I also have my concealed weapons permit. I carry pictures of my son, nephews and other relatives to show off to other people I meet. These things could say I take pride in my family and that I  take my responsibilities seriously.

My wallet will not tell you a lot of things about me. I like to sew, knit, crochet, and quilt. My movie and music preferences are very eclectic. I am the single surviving parent of a nine year old boy. These are just a few examples of who I am that you won't find in my wallet.
