I am so glad that I decided to do this so I can have everyone updated on everything that is going on because we are so far away from family! I don't know if most of you know, but I have had a really hard time adjusting to life here in Houston. I have always moved around from place to place when I was younger but I always felt like Austin was a place that I could call home. I have been here it the Woodlands for nearly four years and I am just coming around to calling this place home. It was hard to let go of all of the memories and the emotional attachment that I had in my place I called "home" because I felt like it was just ripped out form under me. I feel that writing in this blog has also come to help me deal with the letting go part and also let other people who I love and care about deeply to understand me a little bit better. I would love your advice because I thought it would be harder to talk about after my parents divorce and coming to realize that I am never going to have help(that is with me being a single parent). It will be and will always be me taking care of my little girl, and I am okay with that. I know that I would not have been able to do that with out the help of my family!
If you would have asked me before, I would have lied and said I still was ok, but deep down I know I wasn't. I took me a long time to become the person that I am today, but I am still a work in progress! I just wanted the comfort of sharing with my closest friends and family so they could help me heal.
Love all of you!
Also I wanted to share with you the beautiful pictures my friend Jennifer took of Valerie! She did such an awesome job and they turned out amazing!
Enjoy!
