The very beginning...

It has always been me and Hailey. We've been through a lot together. I knew from the moment that I found out that I was pregnant that this was going to change my life forever. I knew I had to succeed because then my baby would as well. I was in my senior year of college when I was pregnant with Hailey. I took off the spring semester to have Hailey, she was born in March and then started back up in May.

Come December I finally graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. It was probably the proudest day ever because after all the hard work and stressful moments of juggling a full-time job, going to school full-time and being a full-time mom. The best part was to look up in the stands and see Hailey, clapping along with everyone else during my graduation ceremony. I wanted to prove to her that no matter what your education is a huge thing in life and you need that no matter what life throws at you. I knew that me getting my degree would make our life better and allow us to have that good life.

Hailey and I have a very special bond. We know each other pretty well and know exactly what buttons to push to drive the other one nuts or what battles to not fight with each other. I hope that over the years our bond stays strong and that we keep the communication lines open and who knows maybe someday we'll be the Gilmore Girls.

I just know I am so blessed to have Hailey. She is my guardian angel and I adore her. She has made me the person that I am today. It's amazing how much love you can have for someone. And I always want Hailey to know that I will always love her no matter what. She is going to make mistakes in life, that's how she learns. I can't be everywhere with her, I just have to help her know how to handle each situation. I hope that someday she'll be able to share everything with me. I will always be an ear for her to talk to.

Just exciting and nerve racking all at the same time to see where life is going to take us, we just have to pray and that no matter what God is going to be right there with us every step.
