Why I Love Being A Godmother
Kylee Lynn Sampson

As a woman, I tend to get ahead of myself with my thoughts of the future.

I want to get married, and I want it to be beautiful.

I want to have kids.

Wait, now I don't.

I want to travel. I want to be married before I have children. I want to be financially stable before I start a family. I want to own my own beautiful house and be in a place with my career where I can stay home with my babies for as long as I want.

For reals, I get choked up about my younger siblings growing up and getting on with their own lives, how the heck am I going to be able to raise a kid and let it become independent like I always wanted growing up.

Well, at this point in my life I have a way to calm these feelings.

In June of 2016, I was asked to be the God Mother to one of my greatest coworker's son.

The best part about being his Godmother is everything.

I have been in his life since day one. I have gotten to spend time with him and watch him grow and learn.

I get to experience just about everything a parent would get to (besides the lack of sleep, darn.)

When I am down, his cute little smile makes my day do a complete 180.

Through this amazing experience, I have gained lifelong friends, his parents are great and he is a handsome little miracle.

I can't wait to see all the amazing things this little man will do. I am just embracing every single minute of it!

"A Godchild fills your heart with love and joy as if they were your very own."

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
