Enjoy life

I know I am not the best blogger, and that whole blog everyday thing was a good idea, but didn't work. I am revising my monthly goals a little... I am reading a new book "The Happiness Code" and have decided I need to focus more on enjoying the moment.  Changing my attitude and enjoying everything I do (even the laundry) is so important in life. The grass is always greener on the other side, but once you get to the other side it is just as green as you make it! So for today, I am agreeing with Sister Hinckley

Days 6 and 7

6.  What band or musician is most important to you...

I would have to say Kalai.  My husband introduced me to his music (which I love) but we also went to lots of his concerts when we were dating. I can't listen to Kalai without thinking of my husband. 

7.  Do you read and what are your favorite books?

I love to read but I also love to teach reading. My personal favorite books are Jodi Piccoult books... Sad but thrilling!  I also love childrens books though. I read several everyday to my class but my favorite author is Chris VanAllsburg.  He has more than just The Polar Express.  His books are full of mystery and great for teaching comprehension and other reading strategies!

Journaling

Happy October! I have decided that September and October are my favorite months. I love the weather and all the fun activities going on- plus I LOVE halloween.  Since my goal this month is to journal, I am going to be doing a 30 day blogging challenge.  I'm a little behind so I'll try and catch up to the 5th day.

1.  Write a little about yourself.  

My name is Ashley Averyt.  I am 25 years old.  I am a first grade teacher and I love my job. I have always wanted to be a teacher and it's amazing living that dream.  I am married to Jeff Averyt, the best husband and friend I could ask for.  I am the oldest of 5 kids, with a big age range- 16 years between me and my youngest sister.

3.  Your day

Well, I am at my parents house today because Jeff is out of town. (He went to a conference in Philadelphia to accept a scholarship).  We are watching General Conference! It's a great weekend to remember who I am and things I need to work on in my life. 

4.  The meaning behind my blogger name

I think I have already talked about it a lot, but it's because I read a book and am now doing my own happiness project.
