Introduction

 Welcome to my blog!  I talk to myself.  A lot.  I am starting this blog to do it some more.  I have dialect in my head, ALWAYS.  At all times.  I think in conversation mode.  Then weeks go by and I forget everything I ever thought about anything.  I just had one of the most special experiences of my life last week and I know I need to write about it so I don't forget how I felt.  But I will save that for another post.  This one is to introduce myself.

I am Macy.  I am going to be 25 years old in 2 weeks.. I am scared of that.  I played basketball for 15 years of my life, it was my identity for all 15 of those years.  I had a hard time having both femininity and athleticism in harmony.  I wanted to be feminine but it was just not me for the longest time.  When I was 23, I met my boyfriend Vincent.  He allowed me to be whatever on Earth I wanted to be.  Allowed me to be girly or boyish on any given day.  I quickly embraced my femininity.  

I am a nanny to two adorable girls who I love so much.  

I am a full-time student as well.  I graduate in a few months! After graduation I plan to get my masters and teaching certification.  I want to teach middle school english.  I have always wanted to teach in some capacity.  I always thought I would want to teach little children but I recently have gained an interest in teaching teenagers.  It was at an eighth grade promotion where I made this decision.  I went with my boyfriend and I knew only one student at the entire ceremony, but I cheered for every single kid and cried multiple times.  I saw something in them that I can't even explain.  It's somehow innocence, fear, loneliness, pride and excitement all at once.  In that moment I knew I had to teach middle school.  Those kids need someone who loves them, someone who shows interest and genuinely cares.  Someone who tries to understand them.  I am that person.  I feel for them.  

I recently moved into a small home with Vincent.  I have enjoyed making it match our style and personality.  I am embracing becoming a home maker.  I am learning to cook.  I am learning to decorate and organize.

I am an author.  I enjoy writing children's books and short stories, some of which you will see on this site.  

I am exploring the realm of friendship outside of organized sports.  It was so easy to make friends on a team.  The real world is different.  It takes effort and care.  I have a couple of new friends who I love.

Adulthood has been growth in every way.  My relationship with my parents is something that is ever changing.  

My blog will cover experiences I have that I want to remember or thoughts that I want to share.  I am so excited for this.
