I read Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture” when it first came out and loved it, but I had to watch the actual lecture on YouTube yesterday for a school assignment and was reminded how much I really loved it! If you have never seen or read it, you should go watch it here. It’s one of those lectures that you just think about for days after you hear it… it’s that good. Hearing Randy talk about childhood dreams made me think back to a list I made when I was younger of my childhood dreams. Looking at it now- it is pretty funny!
1. To own a restaurant. (I have the name and menu ready to go!)
2. To get married and have 4 kids. (1 down; 3 to go!)
3. To have my picture taken in front of the Hollywood sign. ( Haven't made it there yet.)
4. To be a teacher, ballerina, or music video producer. (Working on the teacher one, lol)
5. To have a book published. ( Go buy it here)
6. To work at Disney World. (Maybe one day after I retire I can be Cinderella’s fairy godmother.)
7. To swim in the Dead Sea. (It has always been fascinating to me.)
8. To meet the author of “The Babysitter’s Club” books. (I wrote Ann M. Martin when I was 12. She wrote me back with a signed autograph. Good enough, lol)
9. To be just like Anne of Green Gables. (Wow! No comment, lol!)
10. To swim in a pool of jello. (I had such high aspirations!)

Something to Think About: Lesson 1
Always remember there are two sides to every story and one person can not take all of the blame. People seem to forget the part that they play in the problems in their lives. There are always consequences to decisions that we make, good or bad.

Fall Time
My favorite time of the year.. fall time! Other than the stresses of school, this time of the year is great! Bama football has started and the school I work for.. University of South Alabama (USA JAGS) had their first football game ever this past Saturday. Judson watched his first game with his Daddy and Jimbo could not have been happier (Lord help us if Judson decides he likes Auburn, lol). Some more things I am excited about are 1.) the second book to Suzanne Collins "Hunger Games" has been released and I can't wait to get my hands on it! It is called "Catching Fire" I loved the first one, so I am very excited to read this one! Check them out http://www.suzannecollinsbooks.com/index.htm ; 2.) I am planning on making some of Emily Little's "Apple Butter" and canning it for family members. Check out the recipe here... http://ryanandemilylittlearethebest.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html ; 3.) Jimbo's 33rd birthday is this Friday and he has asked me to invite some of our friends and family to join us for dinner. Hope everyone can come! :) He is excited about it.; 4.) My first teaching demonstration is on the 28th and although I am extremely nervous, I am excited to get it overwith! lol wish me luck!; 5.) Mine and Jimbo's 2nd anniversary is coming up. I always love those :); and 6.) Judson's 1st Halloween! Can't wait for him to show everyone his costume! It's adorable!
