Blog Challenge - Day One

Since H has arrived and I have started working part time I have really gotten into reading and writing blogs. Right now this is the only one I author, but I have a few ideas of others to start so stay tuned. Anywho, a friend of mine, Melanie , is doing a 30 day blog challenge and I thought it would be fun to join in. So everyday for the next 30 I will be blogging about a specific topic. I haven't yet seen all the topics so some may be fun and some not so much but bare with me and you'll learn a little more about me and my family and hopefully be entertained in the process.

DAY 1: Introduce yourself, include a recent picture, and tell 15 facts about yourself.

My name is Jamie Rebecca Spell Ely (but I dropped the Rebecca part after marrying my man). Jeff is my cute little red headed husband and Hayden is my cute little red (maybe) headed daughter. My day job is an RN at Sta Home Health and Hospice but I only work on the home health side and thankfully I only work 3 days a week. I get to stay home the rest of the week to play with Hayden! It's the best of both worlds. We live outside of Jackson, MS in our "starter" home that we are quickly outgrowing. Abe, Minne and Mugsy are our dogs and Mickey and Nemo are our cats. I love them but since H came to live with us, I'd give them to a loving home at the drop of a hat! ( Any takers :) ) Most importantly, I love Jesus! I don't know how people make it in this world without Him. He is my Rock, my Comfort, my Joy, my Healer...

15. Nursing was my calling, you can't be a (good) nurse without being called to it. And when I say good, I mean compassionate, which is the basis of nursing in my opinion.

14.  I don't eat meat on a bone.

13. Living within your means and having no debt is important to me. Thanks Dave Ramsey.

12. I like the show "16 and Pregnant".

11. I have learned that the only person's actions/thoughts/feelings you can control are your own. DON'T think you can change that but Do make sure you control yours.

10. My crockpot is my new appliance BFF, right after my vaccuum.

9. Now that I have a child I have a slightly better concept of Christ's love for us. I still can't fathom how He loves me but am so glad He does!

8. Accessories are important, that's why little H wears a bow EVERYDAY.

7. I want to be a PROVERBS 31 woman.

6. I'm a MSU fan-atic!

5. My sister lives far far away and I miss her.

4. LOVE really is all you need, well and some Jesus but I think that's synonomous.

3. I have the cutest baby girl in the world.

2. Listening is much more important than talking.

1. I love my hard working, family loving, God fearing husband!
