Friends...

What are friends? Before last year I thought friends were the people that you grow up with and kept in touch with, the coworkers that you go to lunch with and the people you hang out with on the weekend. Until last year my amount of friends was very slim. LOL Once I got pregnant and converted from a TWWaiter to a July Mama I started to realize that friends come in all different packages. They can be in Australia, New Zealand, England, Canada, the South, the midwest and still you can all be friends and share a close bond. These friends that I have now know more what is going on in my life than the "friends" that I had before, they have gone with me through some of the roughest times in my life and offered support, encouragement and an ear that listened. I am so blessed to have found them and so blessed to be able to call all the July mamas my friends.
It is funny when I talk about them to my husband he knows who they are, he asks about their dr appts, their surgeries, there holidays. He knows that these women have made my life more enjoyable. Some people I can tell do not "get it". They are like, "internet friends"? They dont understand how I can be so close with people that I have never met. But really i dont care what they think. I have gained so much knowledge, strength and happiness from all of my July mamas and I am so thankful that God steared me toward our forum.
I cant wait for us to grow old together, have grandbabies together and meet in Paris and paint the town red!

About me...

I am doing this blog because I want to remember all the great things in my life, well at least the things that have greatly impacted it. Whether it be the sad parts or the happy parts, all things great have shaped the person that I am.

I am a mother to two beautiful blessings named Autumn and Declan.

I am a wife to a wonderfully supportive husband named Kyle.

I have survived infertility, miscarriage and a 2nd trimester loss.

I am the daughter of an alcoholic.

I am a domestic violence survivor.

As you can see all things great(good and bad) have shaped my life. But it is my life and no one can ever take that away.
