This blog is more for myself than anyone else. I don't want to forget all that happens in our lives. Thanks for walking with me on this journey, we'll see how this evolves!
YAY! I love it! You will be SO thankful you did. It is my journal/scrapbook/online photo sharing/therapy and I am so thankful I have done it. And one day when you want a "real copy" just get it printed :)
We had our first trip to Carowinds in 2017 today! We met Leigh Ann and the kids for a fun day on the first day of spring break. Mom came with us for a little "Disney Prep."We lasted about 4.5 hours until the kids melted down. Mom and I felt pretty good that we lasted longer than them! It was perfect weather and the crowds were low. It looks like Natalie is going to be following after Allison in the daring department. She will ride any of the rides she big enough for.

The lying started in high school...at first, it was just my feelings & emotions. In college I progressed to hiding some pretty horrible behaviors. In the early post-college years I flat out lied about close to everything. The hiding and lying threatened my job and almost took my life. I hated myself. I hated my body, my personality, everything. And I didn't know why. I had no idea why I was so depressed, confused and angry. I had had a wonderful childhood and came from a great family. There was no abuse, no rebellion, no tragic deaths or horrible secrets. So the guilt set in. Shoot, I don't even have a good reason to feel this way. Depression turned to guilt turned to shame. It all became too much and the feelings needed an outlet. Thus, the birth of my 7-year-long struggle with an eating di...
