Here is the slate article that interested me most.

Every Easter no matter how warm it is, there is always the Easter snap as my mother calls it. On Easter morning it was very cool in Alexandria. Although I was not able to attend church services due to just having a baby two weeks prior, I was still very excited about Easter. My family believes strongly in me and the baby staying in the house for at least 6 weeks only making exceptions for doctor's appointments. I was excited about getting Kaelyn all dolled up for church. She had the most beautiful dress made by Cinderella (a Dillard's original brand). It was the ultimate little girls dress. The dress was Ivory with three blush pink rose ensembles about the was with ribbon dripping from each rose. I place gorgeous ribbon in her hair and place on her Ivory stride rite Maryjane shoes to top it off.

Although I was unable to get up and get dressed I was ecstatic about seeing her all dolled up with her Easter basket ready to attend church with her grandma. She was a doll indeed. After church she was changed into her after church attire to attend Easter festivities with her father. She had a blast. This was definitely true for the night before Easter as well. The night before Easter we put Jaxon to bed and Kaelyn, my mom, and I dyed eggs until Kaelyn made the biggest mess possible. This is what I remember most about Easter and I wanted her to have the same fond memories of this day and its true meaning the resurrection of Christ.

Sharing all my love.\

Well since my last log in alot has taken place. I am no longer the parent of just Kaelyn Brenae Goff, but also Jaxon Isaiah Goff. I was so afraid that I would not know how to share my love. Well he is only four days old, but it happend almost instantaneously. My littely girl was in labor and delivery with me and my mother and fiance all day. She was acting a little unusual, almost as though she could tell something really strange was about to happen. When I first had little Jaxon Kaelyn didn't want much to do with either of us, infact she would not even look at him. All of that changed really quickly. She began to come around and when we allowed her to hold him for the first time she did not want to let him go. Oh, did Imention that she gives him more kisses than she gives mommy now.

This experience has opened a whole new chapter of my life. I realized my strength and faith in and also a new found respect for the power of prayer. I had a bad experience with the anesthesia and through the powerful prayer that my mother prayed I knew that all would be well. Well I just had some type of technological problem with blogger so this is my second time typing my blog. I must admit Iam pooped and must rest before mylittle prince's feeding.

The HGTV dream home

A lot of people may or may not be familiar with the HGTV dream home giveaway. If you are a dedicated HGTV watcher then you are sure to know what I am talking about. Many people think that because I am twenty one almost twenty two that I would definitely be spending my time watching something else. Well HGTV is the only channel I need as far as I am concerned. My fiance always teases me by saying " you watch all of that HGTV and can't do one thing that they do." Well this is not true at all. Had it not been for HGTV I'm not so sure my house would be as coordinated and decorated as it is.

Back to the topic at hand. Every year HGTV builds a home in different locations around the world. The networks sends out a person to pick the ideal location each year.This year is the 11th or 12th dream home giveaway. The home was built in the Florida Keys on Islandmorada. The home is showcased on January first of each year and the entry period goes from January 1st to Approximately February 19th of each year. You must be 21 or older to enter and you can only enter once a day from a valid e-mail address. I am quite sure their are some people who create an infinite number of e-mail accounts and enter from all of them. This was the first year that I was able to enter and I entered my mom and I everyday except about two.

My fiance kept say "Get serious do you know how many people are entering this drawing? Those two days may have cost you." I said "No I don't know but I do know one person who is, Me." Well I know this may sound crazy but I am patiently awaiting my call, but I must say I hope they don't call while I am in labor on Friday. This home is worth 2.2 million dollars and comes with a Yukon Hybrid truck. Did I mention that the house is fully furnished by Ethan Allen's Home furnishings? Well to be honest I'll just take the 2.2 Million come back here where the cost of living is much lower, build me a nice 250,000 - 300,000 dollar home and invest and save the rest,but who knows? Just make sure to watch the giveaway live on March 16th at 8:00 or 9:00p.m. to see if I'm the lucky winner. Lets keep our fingers crossed. Me and my new family could surely benefit from this giveaway, but after all who couldn't?
