The Start of the Journal

I had been thinking about recording my thoughts for some time now. It really became an easy possibility when one of my best San Antonio friends started her blog. While I was reading her blog, I noticed that I could start my own. I feel a little like a copy cat, but hey, that's okay. I want to be able to look back on these days and really reflect on how I was feeling.



Just to set up who I am...I am recently divorced. Joel and I separated in November of 2006, I filed for divorce in March 2007 and the divorce was final on May 30, 2007. I have been a single mom now for a little over a month and have gone through a range of emotions. I have an amazing little boy, James who was born on December 13, 2004. I also have an amazing set of close friends and family who care about me deeply and who I would do anything for. I will elaborate a little more in future blogs.



I hope those of you who know me learn something new by reading this. Hopefully, James and any future children will enjoy reading my thoughts when they get much much older.

Found your blog link on Melissa's blog, so now I'm in your brain and know your thoughts- hope you don't mind. Don't feel like a copy cat- that's how all of us get started with this thing (my friend inspired me to start mine and it looked exactly like hers). I happened to mention my blog to Melissa one day and the next week, she had countless blog entries and features that I didn't even know existed. And now you...
Side note- I did the exact same Elmo cake for Alli's 2nd birthday. It was a little more work than I had bargained for- what did you think? That didn't stop me though 'cause I'm making a dump truck for TJ's first birthday. I'm sure I'll regret that.
Well, I guess I have a new blog to visit routinely for cute stories about James (more to keep me from doing my own blog posts).
