I am what I am, but I am not defined by what I am. I wish I was intelligent and beautiful, both of which I am not. I crave knowledge and read voraciously. I will read anything once and probably twice without hesitation. I am an adoptee reunited with my natural family in the Summer of 2009. Although my reunion was far from anything that I had hoped, I feel a bit more complete, whole. I still am searching for my place and identity that I feel might be lost forever. I am also a birthmother/natural mother/first mom(whatever the proper terminology used is these days)to the chillest beast of a little dude, Asher James, who was born October 7th, 2010.

A little of both.

Saturday is fast approaching. I am very excited and incredibly nervous. Feels quite similar to the days leading up to getting on a plane by myself, going to a place I had never been and meeting people I was genetically related to but had never met, my birthparents. I am meeting my birthmoms side of

Time.

Time flies when you’re having fun which is really a bummer. It should be time flies when the going is tough which is kind of where I am at now. I have wanted to start regularly blogging again but I never know what to say. I feel so conflicted about so much in my life [...]

Old Habits Die Hard.

So I had surgery on the 7th and have been essentially stuck at home since then. Surgery went well, a lot longer than expected because apparently the damage was much greater than anticipated on the MRI and x-rays. What was supposed to be a routine two hour procedure ended up taking nearly six hours d

A Revelation.

I miss writing here! I can tell when I haven’t blogged in awhile because I have words and thoughts all scrambling in my brain trying to get out and blogging is my release. I’m not going to lie and say I’ve been busy because I haven’t. I had my reconstructive ankle surgery on the 7th [...]

Good.

I got my acceptance letter to the college I applied to for this Fall. I am not super excited about going to this particular college but it is the right choice for me right now. It won’t be a bad thing, I just wanted to move far far away. This college is 8hrs away from [...]

So much.

I have known for a little over a month now that my youngest brother’s girlfriend is pregnant. They have been together since August. When they first got together they lived by the river and in his truck in a grocery store parking lot. They have since moved in with her step dad who does not [...]

First Visit.

My first visit went amazing! I was so nervous beforehand I cannot even tell you. I wasn’t sure if it was the not eating for a few days before, the three trips to Starbucks during my three and half hour drive or nerves or a combination of all three but by the time I made [...]

…and a month has gone by.

Whoops. Kinda didn’t realize a whole month has gone by since I last updated. I am glad I didn’t post on moving a month ago because it isn’t happening now. I will be moving but not as soon as I hoped and when I know much firmer plans I will update then. E texted me [...]
