This is just a post to let you guys get to know me a little better. I am going to answer some silly and random questions as well as fill you in on the important things about me and why I started this little blog.
Let's start with who I am!

The Reason Behind The Shadows
I began this blog as an outlet from my life. I wanted a place I could come to share my frustrations about any and everything. I face what feels like an ongoing list of odds set against me everyday: young, single mother of a mixed race child, in a same sex relationship, on the chubbier side (for now), teacher (low income), serious depresssion, adult ADD, OCD, and so many more. However, as you read and wonder why do I complain of all these things I want to say, I am not complaining just letting you into the world I live in. I know that these are terrible things to me but I also know that I could have it much worse which is another reason I wanted to start this blog, so I could look back on my life and see how amazing it truly is. I want to live everyday to the fullest and document as much of that as I can.
This blog is going to be honest and blunt like me. I might say post things that could offend you and while that is not my intentions at all, to that I can only say... "There's another blog out there you would like better and you should have at it!"
Here you are going to find posts about: teaching, Jayden and his terrible 2's craziness, Taylor and I's relationship, races I run, my weightloss journey, DIY projects I do, pictures I take, books I read, the OCCASSIONAL fashion post, and so much more. This is a catch all for my life and the main purpose for starting it was for me so if I even get one person that loves my posts I'll be excited.
On to the randomness:
1. The first thing I did this morning was: put my pants back on!
2. My strength is: my honesty.
3. My weakness is: my honesty.
4. I feel like a beautiful person: on a good day... we all have bad days but overall I believe most of us can find the beauty in ourselves if we look deep enough!
5. This weekend I am going to: Hang out with my love because she has all weekend off, try to go to Going Bonkers and play with Jay, the niece and nephew, and if it's nice wash my car!
6. A TV character I would most compare myself to is: Ethel from I Love Lucy. I am always up for trouble and would do anything for my best friend!
7. The most important quality in a mate is: Honesty & security. I need to trust and feel safe, multiple bad relationships screw with you!
8. My guilty snack pleasure is: at the moment I am dieting so fiber one + protien bars with peanut butter and chocolate, and they actually are REALLY good!!!
9. My first kiss was: in 3rd grade at recess on the playground!
10. Someone who always makes me laugh is: My brother
11. I'm annoyed by: stupid people and people that don't try!!!
12. The last book I read was: The second book in the Inn Boonsborro trilogy by Nora
Roberts... on to the third and definately a series I would recommend.
13. If there was a fountain of youth I'd: wait till I got to the age where I was settled and content then swim in it.
14. I cannot start my day without: walking my Kallers... she would explode otherwise.
15. My idol is: My aunt Neecie- you never know how much someone means to you until they are gone! I lost her recently and she was a huge support in my life that meant the world to me! (More on this in another post)
16. If I was stuck on a deserted island the one person I would bring with me is: Taylor because I want to spend the rest of my life with her and Jayden has too much left to experience to be stuck on an island!
17. I'd prefer to be beautiful or booksmart: Booksmart because there is always that someone that will do whatever it takes to make you feel beautiful!
18. Three wishes I would ask for: Health for family, happiness, and my aunt back!
19. One word to describe me is: Unpredictable!!!!
20. A surprising fact about me is: I loved Taylor before I knew I loved her!!
So there you have little random tidbits about me! Feel free to comment or email with anything else you want to know, I am an open book!
