My name is Melanie. I am so thrilled to begin this blogging jouney! I have admired those who have taken the time to share their thoughts and precious memories for quite some time now, so I'm finally going to make my own! Who knows how productive it will be, but I guess something is better than nothing. So, here goes.....I am the wife of Ben. We have been married for almost nine years. In those exciting nine years, we have been blessed with three children. Addison Mae, "Addy" is six years old, William Tyler, "Ty", is four, and our precious new addition, Andrew Scott, "Drew", is seven months old. I guess he's technically not a new addition any more. I also work full time as a third grade teacher. I am a Christian and believe that the Lord has blessed me with specific talents in order for me to serve Him, so I am the volunteer pianist and children's and adult choir director at my church! In my free time, (what is that again), I love being lazy at home, traveling, or doing anything that involves fun time with my family.
