Tell us a little something about yourself.

I was raised by a single mother until the age of 10, when my mother married. I didn't meet my biological father until the age of 17, our relationship since has been off and on. I swore off having children, not wanting myself to go through what my mom did, or my children to go through what I did. Though at the age of 18 my boyfriend and I found out I was pregnant. Much to my surprise he stuck around, and I couldn't ask for a better father for my children or husband for myself!
My daughter Myranda, son Logan, and husband Khris are the most amazing part of my life! Though having children at such a young age has put my hopes, wants, and dreams on hold. I disapointed many family and friends by getting pregnant at 18, and outside of marriage. I was determined to prove to them I could be an amazing mom despite my age. Though because of that, I've spent little time thinking about the "me" in mommy.
I've lost track of who I am as an individual, what my dreams are, my goals, and what I want to accomplish in this life, however fleeting it may be. I think i've started to realize how lost I am recently, it really hit me today when I realized I couldn't answer any of the following questions, because I don't know myself well enough. I feel it's starting to affect my parenting and relationship with my husband. I plan on doing some major soul searching and soon! Maybe then I'll be able to answer the following questions!
Wish me luck!
