jankinaround: First Day of High School

About Me

Location: Metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States

I am a crazy busy Mom. I have started this blog because it looks FUN. I named it jankinaround. Let me explain....when I was in college I picked up this term. It means"just having fun, being silly,etc.." ( example: I'm here just jankin around, playing with my new blog! ) I have a fun husband of 19 years and 2 great kids. I have been on a music ministry staff for 14 years directing the youth choir! About me: I get focused very easily, If I had a motto it would be "Work hard,play hard." My life verse is Micah 6:8 ( ...And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) I like to have fun with my girlfriends ( okay - when I get focused they call it FOCUS FACE -- thankfully they love me anyway...) , I am sometimes reclusive when I get too busy, I am ALWAYS for the "underdog!" I LOVE Mexican Food.I have a new business with my very cool and fun partner -- my husband! We own a tutoring franchise and run it together. It is called CLUB Z! We are excited about this new adventure!! I am blessed to be a child of God -- that is the most important fact about me!

First Day of High School

Here is my girl! We are so proud of her and wish her the best as she begins High School! Thanks to all our friends who have invested in her! Here is my prayer for her " that she would love the Lord her God, listnen to HIS voice and hold fast to him." Deut. 30:20

Being the parents of two great kids - such a joy! The above verse stays on my desk so I can pray it for both of my children. I have really read up a lot on praying blessings/speaking a word of blessing over my family.

Robby thinks that he is "all that" because he has a new laptop for school!! He starts in 2 weeks - so he is still sleeping late and loving it!!

Dianne said...: It is hard to believe that this is the grown-up version of that same little girl who licked her fingers at Arby’s and told me she didn’t like me so many years ago! Where has the time gone? I know we have had our share of storms Julie, more than our share at times, but thanks for weathering them with me. I am grateful. You are a blessing and a true friend.; 5:23 AM

Oh, and Robbie told me he appreciated the invite to the Braves game Monday, but that he couldn't go......he was going out of town. He made me smile.; 5:45 AM
