I have been following this blog for months, and it has severly touched my heart. Please pray for the amazing miracle. She truly deserves to grow up one day. Until then, please pray!

Writer's block?
I have no idea to write about. Then again, most days I'm never too sure on what to write about. I must not be that interesting. I'm sorry...LOL Ok...here we go...
Well, let me start off by stating that I went on a date last night. A date! Literally, the opening doors and a good night kiss kind of date. He was a gentleman all around. I have to be honest, and I know I'm still young at this, but I didn't think guys still did that kind of stuff! I was just wowed beyond words. I had a great time and I can honestly say I wouldn't mind doing it again. I sit here and ponder the idea, and it makes me grin from ear-to-ear. Is that silly? I feel like it’s all new to me and it very much is in a way. However, at the same time, it’s like I’ve been through the ringer and back and just 2 weeks ago I would’ve told you that I wouldn’t even have thought of going on a date with anyone. Once you’ve gone to emotional hell and back, there’s a promise a person makes with themselves and they vow to respect it. Never again. That’s what I told myself. Never again would I let myself get hurt like I did. So now, with all respect to my date last night, I am going to open up a little bit and take it with a grain of salt. No two people are alike (and nobody’s perfect!), so I really have nothing to lose. So, bring on more dates like last nights! (Can you tell I’m a bit elated? I have every right though, it’s been awhile since I’ve been this happy. So let me gloat!)
I will leave you with these two quotes I stumbled across today in lieu of Valentine’s Day. One light, one heavy. Enjoy and have a great weekend!!
You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip. ~Jonathan Carroll, "Outside the Dog Museum"
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. ~Henry Van Dyke

Changes!!
Change can be a good thing, however it can also be a bad thing. Currently, I'm a little bit in between.
2 girls from my department at work got let go yesterday. One was my partner, and one was one of my good friends and lunch partner! One was also nearly 6 months pregnant! Wow...it was a shock for all of us at work. It wasn't easy on our manager to let them go either, but we can blame it on the economy and all the stuff that goes along with it. I just wish them both the best of luck and I hope they can make it through this.
Now, I had to change partners at work again. Which means I had to change desks/offices AGAIN. This is my 4th move! I don't think I'm going to move for awhile, or at least I hope! I'm really going to miss my old desk and my old office. It was surrounded by floor to ceiling window's. Nice corner office with an awesome executive like desk! Ton's of room to spread out and work! Now, I have to sit side-ways at my new desk, which makes it hard to work out of the job folders. I'll have to just grin and bare it and just be thankful that I still have my job! So, I'll take the time now to say THANK YOU GOD for everything I have. We really take things for granted until it's taken away. =(
On a better note, I'm going to be spending Valentine's Day with my mom. Not exactly clear on what we're going to do. Probably wine tasting and dinner. We'll see!
And as for Travis, he will be going to his dad's again this weekend. My little Valentine will be leaving me...I'm sad. But I'm going to buy him little crafts to make tonight to give to his day care friends.
Well, I'm going to run across the street to grab the craft supplies! Have a great day everyone!

Beginning...
Welcome!
This is the beginning of our blog. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm not sure what is in store for the future. But if you're here, I hope you're ready for a journey.
It has been amazing being Travis' mother for the past 29 months. He is my loud, rambunctious, loving, over-the-top, drama king, clean freak, nail biting, Mohawk sporting, gorgeous blue eyed, motorcycle loving, irreplaceable 2 1/2 year old son, Travis Blake. He is, most importantly, the love of my life. I’m a single mom and I chose the life I live. I love it, and wouldn’t change it for the world. It will be me and my son always.
I enjoy reading constructive criticism and the thoughts from other mothers. So please, feel free to leave as much as you'd like.
So I leave you with this quote...
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
