I don’t have a glamorous Hallmark-like story about when I became a mother. It’s not a fairytale by any means. I was heartbroken, hurting, scared, and everything in between. But I fought for my son in more ways than he will ever know. While a lot of friends were celebrating the legal drinking age, I […]

And unlike the decisions I have made in the past, I prayed for God to lead my […]

For whatever reason, I disregarded my first loss. With my second loss I felt that because it was so early, […]

My husband and I started dating the day after we graduated high school. He packed his bags two months later to follow his dreams on a scholarship to play college football and I followed mine as a starting freshman for women’s golf. We both had big dreams and a year later we were more determined […]
