Day 242

I read several blogs daily…some I came across years ago, a few I have just stumbled upon. In fact if you have had the pleasure of having a conversation with me, you most likely have heard me at least reference one of the blogs I read. Blogs are just a great way to learn about new things,  see what’s new and exciting in different parts of the nation, and generally compare notes with other women and moms. So, on these said blogs there has been this 30 day challenge circulating. I have seen it several times, and have wanted to find some way to incorporate it into Hadley’s Happenings. So I am going to give it a try this fine Labor Day. I am going to answer these posts in reference to Hadley and me, and I might throw just a little of myself in there too. Here are the topic so you know what to expect:

This is us: Megan and Hadley

I am Megan, a 27 year old single mama to the happiest, sweetest, and not to mention most gorgeous little 8 month old Hadley Grace. That first superlative is not one I thought I would have attached to my name, but I am finding that God has put me right where I am supposed to be. I am a high school counselor in a relatively small town east of Dallas, and I really LOVE my job, in a way that I have never loved any job. I am an only child, which I think in a lot of ways perfectly describes me. I love being in school and from my 9th grade year to now I think there has only been 2 summers I wasn’t taking a class for something- I just love learning. I am an Aggie and the majority of my closest friends are a part of my Aggie family. My parents divorced when I was five, which actually has proven to be a great thing: I got an awesome step father, and everyone is just happier ( I try to remember this daily as I wonder how my divorce will affect Hadley).  My faith, family, and friends are the most important things to me, and I am so richly blessed to have AMAZING people in my life.

Hadley is 20 pounds of personality. She is VERY strong willed, she does what she wants WHEN she wants to do it…this is what I love most and sometimes dislike most about her. She smiles ALL the time, total strangers often remark on what a happy baby she is ( like seriously I can’t go to the grocery store without someone saying something along those lines). From the moment she came into this world, she has always just taken things in stride…she is not like her mommy and daddy- she doesn’t seem to dramatic, which is amazing! God knew what he was doing when he graced me with the most precious baby ever-she came at the exact perfect time; in lots of ways she saved me (I know that sounds so cliché, but in the middle of a sometimes ugly and bitter divorce, she was my peace and sanity).
