It was several months ago last time I posted. I was living with a boyfriend who wasn't right for me at all, and pretending everything was okay. I left him on New Year's Eve, after he completely cold shouldered me like he was so fond of doing. I was single a few months, and enjoyed it a lot, until I accidentally fell in love with the man of my dreams. I wanted to stay single for a while, but it was love at first sight, and the more we've gotten to know each other the more in love we fall.

I took my kids to Mexico in February, which some of you may remember was a major goal of mine, more important then basically any other goal I had set for myself. I worked so hard to be able to do that. I want to take them to Nicaragua next. World travel is my highest priority.

My kids are 9 and 5 now. I'm turning 27 next month, and I am so proud of the woman I am. I have my own business doing a job I love and feel great about, and I'm just really happy. No longer the depressed teenage mama I was when I first found this site.

Thank you, girl-mom, for supporting me through so many changes and helping me learn and unlearn so many things.
