My first post

Well, world...this is my first attempt at a blog. I am not sure there is anyone out there interested in the daily goings on of the Holliway clan, but I thought I would give it a shot.
First, a little about me and my family...My name is Erin, I am a 33 year old married mother of two (and a half). My husband James runs fireworks stands and so is currently VERY busy. I have a daughter, Jessalynn Maxine. She is 8 (going on 18), going to be in 4th grade, and is a competitive dancer. My son Jaxon Paul was born on Februaury 4th of this year. At this point he is growing & changing like crazy. I am sure there will be much more information about his amazing accomplishments as this blog goes on. The half is Braxton Andrew. He is my husband's step-son from a previous marriage. After Jimmy's first wife (and one of my childhood best friends) passed away, Braxton moved to live with his dad in Chicago. We miss him very much and wish we could spend much more time with him than we get to. His sister asks about him all the time and tells everyone about her "Bubby"!
Although, I'm not sure anyone is interested, I will tell you a little more about me...I grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri, where I lived with my mother and two younger sisters, Elicia & Emilee. My father re-married and had another daughter, Rachel (although according to facebook, she is now spelling it Raychel). I have a "brother" who came into our family late in life. He was one of my mother's former campers from church camp and they reconnected when he was in college. The dorms were closing for the summer and he needed a place to stay, so I inherited a "big brother". I have also lived in Overland Park & Olathe, Kansas with my dad, Stanberry, Missouri with my mom. I went to college at Northwest Missouri State University, and later spent a couple of years in the South Bend, Indiana area.
When I finished college at the age of 29, I had a 4 year old daughter and was planning my wedding. James & I got married & moved to Lathrop, Missouri where I currently teach preschool at the local elementary school. I am also working towards a master's degree through Park University (which I would not necessarily recommend).
Well, if anyone has read this, I am sure I have bored you enough. I will close for today by quoting the scripture that was addressed at my church this morning...
Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Galatians 6:7
