It's all in your head part 2
You guys, I’m angry.
If you know me, really know me, then you know that I hardly ever get angry. In fact, most of my friends are always hounding me about how I need to be meaner, stand up for myself, pretty much grow some balls. I may not be good at standing up for myself most times but when it comes down to the people I love, I have no problem standing up for them.

My Hypothetical Children (The decision to have...
I thought I would start this out with pictures of my mom’s children. That’s me on the left, my brother in the middle, and my sister on the right. I guess my brother was the only one who was happy to start preschool?

The Silver Lining (Four years ago today I had my...
I still remember the looks on the faces of those who came to visit me that day and the tears that fell from my aunts, uncles, cousins, and mothers eyes as they wheeled me back into my room as I repeated the words “I can’t do this” over and over again like it was my mantra in agonizing pain. I won’t lie to you - July 18, 2008 was one of the hardest days of my life. You all...

So what can I tell you about the past 2 weeks? That I am so lucky, that’s what. I...
