1st time to blog

Im still not quite sure why I am now blogging.. I set this up at the urging of my sister in law, Dana. I wasnt quite sure if I wanted to pursue it or not as I am into several time consuming 'hobbies' already but thought I would I would give it a shot. Its alot different from MySpace or FaceBook. And its another way to put my pictures out there if I decide to post them. I guess more than anything, I decided to start this blog as a way to keep me busy and take my mind off of things. I just lost my mom to an extremely short battle with breast cancer. She fought it so hard. I, along with my family, was standing around her and holding her as she drew her last breath. She went to heaven on her wedding anniversary. I take comfort in believing that my dad was there to greet her into his arms and they celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary together for the first time in 16 years. A little about myself. Im 31 years old and I have been married to Darren for 9 yrs this appoaching August. Together, we have three children. Kennedi who is 7 and is going into the 2nd grade, Emma who is 5 and will be in Kindergarten this August and Dominic who is 2 yrs old. I work on computers and also do photography as well. I also have begun scrapebooking and gardening. Im trying to keep busy to fill my void that my mom has left. Its been 5 days (she left us on May 31) and Im so lost without her.
