Well it is a new year and I am hoping that this will bring me much happiness. I am working full time, raising my daughter, my boyfriend is with living with us. We are going to church, hanging around with very good people and living each and every day like it was the last day of my life.

This was an exciting year for me and my daughter. I had my very own place and it was perfect for just the two of us. I was working, making good money and living on my own. Of course knowing my luck, something was bound to go wrong. I received bad news that my uncle had passed away and we would have to go up north for his funeral.  My family and I took a trip to New Jersey  & Pennsylvania to visit our family. Growing up we always took family trips. So many times being in Florida we would drive up to see our family. My sister and I would figure out a way to be comfortable in the car one way but not the other way. Go figure. This trip was the first time that we all flew together. My parents, my sister, my beautiful daughter and of course me. We flew into Pennsylvania New Jersey  and drove up to my Aunt Fern’s house.

What a way to bring in the new year. Thinking I was off to a wonderful start I was completley wrong. Let's see I am now 4 months pregnant, looking for a house, and engaged. Well all good things must come to an end. Eventually things did not go so well and we ended up splitting up.

What a year I tell you. One year out of school and what a fun year it was. I moved out of my parents house last year and into an apartment. Working full time going to school full time.

I found out I was going to be a mom. Scared out of my wits not knowing what to expect, I knew I had to give up something to be a wonderful mother.
