I have written and published many "about me" pages only to go back and hit trash a day later.

Where did her summer go? Her and I have both been wondering the same thing. It just sneaked up on us and we didn't even see it coming. Suddenly, it was time to register for school and go shopping for new clothes. Suddenly, it was time to say goodbye to the long days of just... Continue Reading →
I would have never given her up, but I had to :(
I really didn't have a choice to give her up. She was like part of the family and has been with me through so much. Her name was Harley. The day I left her there, after the tow truck dropped her off, I never saw her again. I didn't even get to say goodbye. Is... Continue Reading →
