Hi :)
My name is Tammy. My friends and family call me Tam. Welcome to my blog Stepping Into Forever.
Curious name eh!
If you are looking for a wedding blog or one about marriage, you have come to the wrong place. Though I may talk about my husband and our marriage on occasion, I definitely have no expertise in weddings or marriage. After 20 years, I still learn something new about it myself every day.
It simply means that every day we live is forever. Your experiences, joys, sadness, pain, anger, and bliss are etched into stone as the clocks ticks and all we are left with is the memories.
It is rather amusing to me that it took me so long to come to this realization really. I am a firm believer that most wrongs can be righted if tried hard enough. I also believe we do get second chances...sometimes. BUT each trial and tribulation we endure is a singular moment stamped in the forever of our mind.
A little more info about me. I am 42 and married to a really incredible guy. We can fight like cats and dogs but we love each other no matter what. As I said above we have been married for nearly 21 years and have been blessed with 2 children. Our daughter, Ashley, just turned 20 and our son Cameron just turned 8. I know, I know, huge age difference. That's a story best left for another time. I live in the same small town where I was born. I come from a big family, 3 brothers and 2 sisters. My parents were born and raised in the deep south in the 30's. Their life and mine is vastly different and yet their values reside deep in my soul.
I am a stay at home mom who loves to craft, scrapbook, paint, play games, and read.
Questioner of Life and it's Meaning & Purpose.
I'm not sure why I am here, what is the purpose of my life?
I keep searching every day.
Believer in what goes around come around.
Treat people like shit...you are going to get treated like shit in return.
It's called karma, dude.
I'm pretty much born and raised a country girl.
I prefer going barefoot to shoes any day.
I'm not afraid to get dirty, and I think it shows you either work hard....or play hard. Or a helluva lot of both.
I dream about art, complete happiness, and sleeping under the stars.
I question my choices.
I learn something new every single day.
And I hope I have never hurt anyone, though I know I have.
I don't come from money and don't know what it's like to live like I do.
Money has never meant anything to me.
I live in the moment.
My most valuable possessions are my babies and my memories.
I live to laugh.
I am completely imperfect...but strive for perfection.
I have a trucker's mouth...and a sinner's ;) mind.
But I believe deeply in God.
I suppose that makes me a hypocrite. Oh well.
We will all answer to our maker one day.
...I am prepared...
I want to live without regrets.
But I have a few, I wish I could change.
So that's about me in a nutshell.
This blog will be a little of this and a lot of that. Art, cooking, family, struggles, and joy. So if you are interested in coming along on my journey I will be happy to share it with you.
Tam
