60 Day Photo Challenge.... Day 23

Today's photo challenge is to post a photo of your favorite book. Since I can't choose a favorite book, I've chosen my favorite series: Harry Potter. I remember when this series first came out, and I always said that I would never, ever, even in a million years, never read them. I didn't think it sounded very good to be honest. But, last year I changed my mind, and decided to give them a chance. And I am so glad that I did! The whole series is just amazing. Harry's story turned out to be a very good thing for him in the end. I like how "magical" it all seemed!

60 Day Photo Challenge.... Day 22

Today's challenge is to post a photo of something you wish you were better at. I wish I was better at taking pictures.... of myself. I don't ever like how I look in pictures. I think sometimes I look too dorky! I'm getting better at it though. This one isn't so bad!

60 Day Photo Challenge.... Day 21

Today's challenge is to post a photo of something you wish you could forget. I wish I could forget Sherry (my real mom) leaving my brother and I when we were little. It hurt growing up. Even though I am now 27 years old, I still think of how much I wish I could forget all of the things that she had ever done to me. I forgive her, but I will never forget. She is the reason I am a good mom. I could never hurt my girls like that. So, I suppose it is good to remember her for that.

Being a divorced mom is hard.

Last week, I had my girls, Natalie and Kira up to visit. It was their spring break. I was worried it wouldn't feel like Spring, as there is still snow over here in Montana. Regardless of the snow and the amounts of rain, we had such a good time. The week went by too fast for my taste. When it was time to send them back to their Dad, Natalie (my oldest) took it hard. Kira was excited to see her Dad though. The whole drive there, I felt so terrible.

Its been about two years since the divorce. It was something that I wanted, and I'm glad that I did it. The only thing I would change is how hard its been on my girls. Since I live in Montana, and they live in Oregon about 6.5 hours away, it makes it even harder. The girls live with their Dad at the moment, so during breaks, I am able to have them come down. I love every single minute of it! I always wish it would last longer. Each time I have to send them back though, it breaks my heart just a little more.

The girls have been gone for 2 days now. Kira wanted to call and talk to me. She's missing Mommy today. How I wish there was something I could do to be able to see her right now. I look on the bright side though. I will be seeing them again next week, as Natalie has a dance in hip-hop coming up. I'll be down in Oregon for a couple of days, and I'm so excited!

I know that any parent who is divorced knows how hard it is on the child(ren). As long as they all know how much we love and adore them, that is what matters. Nothing can ever change that.

60 Day Photo Challenge.... Day 20

Today's challenge is to post a photo of somewhere you'd like to travel. There are a lot of places that I really want to go... but this one seems a whole lot easier to do. It doesn't require me going overseas, and that is perfect. I don't want to travel that long anyway!!! I would love to visit New York City. No specific reason really.... its just something that I've always wanted to do. I'd have to see the Statue of Liberty... go to Central Park, and see where the World Trade Center used to be. I'm hoping in the future, I can do this.

60 Day Photo Challenge.... Day 19

Today's challenge is to post a photo of yourself when you were little. I only have just these two thankfully! I was almost worried I'd have to find one from when I was a teenager! In this picture, I am in 3rd grade or 4th grade. I lived in California for 4 years. After that was when we moved to Montana to live for a year.


In this one, I was in the 6th grade. Check out that long hair!!! Eeep!!! So glad my hair isn't that long anymore. This was back when we had moved to Oregon. I lived in Oakridge for 3 years.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

60 Day Photo Challenge.... Day 18

Today's challenge is to post a photo of your biggest insecurity. I would say for me, it is my weight. Can't really post a picture of weight.... so instead here is my enemy: the scale. As you all know, the past couple of months, I've been working big time to lose it. So far, I think I'm doing good, but, I am still very insecure about it. I will lose the weight!!!
