I'm a soccer mom!
Kaylie started soccer last week, so I am officially a soccer mom! She really seems to like it. I think it will help her with coordination. She practices two times a week and her first game is next Saturday. She will have two games every Saturday for the next few months, so we will be pretty busy this fall, which is a good thing. Her team is an all girl team called the Shooting Stars, and their uniforms are hot pink. (For those of you who know Kaylie, pink is the only color that would have been acceptable. So, I was relieved when the coach made that announcement.)

Who am I?
In the last few weeks, as many of my friends and family know, I have been going through a rough time. I believe that what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. I want to come out on top after all is said and done with this. I have been thinking a lot about the kind of person I am and the kind of person I want to be. I have been asking myself who am I? Because lately, it seems like I am constantly being judged and I want everyone to know who I am and what I believe defines me.
I am, first and foremost, a child of God. I try to embrace that everyday and I thank God for everything he has given me in my life and I pray that he makes me stronger and better through this time of adversity. I am a mother to two beautiful little girls. They have done nothing but bring joy to my life every single day and I love them with everything that I am. I am a daughter to 4 wonderful parents. I have grown up surrounded by love and I am so fortunate to have the love of such amazing people that I am lucky to call parents. I am a sister to 2 beautiful little sisters, 1 big brother, and 1 awesome step-sister. My little sisters are my pride and joy and my big brother is my best friend. I am an aunt to 3 stunningly beautiful little girls and 1 handsome little boy. I love them like they are my own. I am a best friend to some of the greatest people on the earth. I have been blessed by friendships that I have no idea what I would do without. These are the things that define me. These are the things that do not: My many inadequecies, my fears(heights, being alone, cats, spiders, darkness, etc.), my marriage status, my income level, my messiness, and my past.
I have made many mistakes in my life, but I believe that if you don't learn from your mistakes then your mistakes begin to define you. I do not want to be defined by the past or mistakes that I have made. I know that people will judge me and that is human nature and I have been guilty of doing the same thing in the past. I am choosing to move forward with my life and I have to concentrate on myself and my girls right now. I hope I have the love and support of my friends and family and I know that I do.
On a lighter note, I haven't been very good at keeping this blog updated, but Kaylie started Pre-K here in Woodward and she loves it. She is really thriving there. I enjoy my mornings with Allie. It is so precious when Kaylie gets out of the car, Allie breaks into tears every time. I am going to buy a camera ASAP, because I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Kaylie on her first day of school, but as you can imagine she looked adorable!!
