This past week I celebrated my 23rd birthday...sheesh that makes me feel old! hehe...but despite feeling old it was a rather good day. Briana watched the kids for Jonathan and I and I was able to be taken out to dinner by my loving husband. He, and Hannah, also baked me a birthday cake and decorated it, complete with princess candles. But other than that, it was a rather quiet day which was kind of nice. I was able to spend time with the people that I love. I was wished happy birthday by so many wonderful friends and family, and I just need to thank all of you for your love!
Later in the week, we did take the kids up to Thanksgiving Point to Cornbelly's Corn Maze and they had a blast there!
There were so many different things to do! The kids were able to climb on hay and wander around playgrounds. They also watched a pig show and we ate popcorn and watched people attempt to ride a mechanical bull. We even attempted the corn maze with the two little toddlers...and I am amazed and happy to report that we actually finished it 15 minutes faster than the estimated time it took! Hannah was our little leader and thankfully she has an excellent sense of direction, much like her father. And as a reward for their great maze exploration skills, Hannah received a princess crown and Liam a pirate hat. And by the time we got home, the children and I were completely exhausted! Liam even tried to put himself to bed! But I am happy that they had such a fun time and I will certainly take them back!
And, as for the future, the month of November will be a test of my sanity...
Call me crazy...in fact I'll do that myself...I do believe I can be considered quite crazy for attempting to do this...
Thanks to the encouragment from a friend, I am attempting to participated in NaNoWriMo...or National Novel Writer's Month...which consists of writing 50,000 words of a novel in the month of November alone...sounds insane doesn't it? But at the same time it sounds rather interesting. I mean how many people would agree to write 50,000 words in one month? I'm rather excited about it and really motivated to attempt to complete the challenge...
Something I've been debating, however, is whether or not to rewrite the whole novel that I have already gotten complete. That's something I will have to debate and mull over and finally decide on before November actually begins.
Something, that I have determined, is that I believe that my novel will end up being longer than the 50,000 words that are the "requirements" for the challenge. That being said, if I can get to that 50,000 mark and see how the novel is faring, all in the space of one month, then I will be in a good frame of mind! Wouldn't you agree?
All the same, wish me luck! I hope to keep my sanity this next month!
