**CAUTION - THIS IS GOING TO BE A TWO-PARTER**

Holy hell - it was a 'good' weekend. 

I hope I have some 'The Office' lovers who read these. Remember when Jim and Dwight are in charge of putting a party together for Kelly's birthday, and Dwight makes her a sign - and that's all it says ' It Is Your Birthday.' No exclamation, just a period. Haha ah, that show kills me. Hands down my favorite show of all time. 

My man, my lil’ boo thang! 

Just a little story time this week. 

Where did we leave off? OH YEAH - totaled car. Way to go, Lauren. 

How did we get from there … to here? Married, two more kids, owning a home, working a good job, following a fitness dream, living comfortably.. Just all of the things.

I wish I could write this post and tell everyone all of the amazing things that came from having a child at 18, how I loved being a mom so much, how not having Jack around brought us so close and it was all sunshine and rainbows - but that’s not the case. 

I’ve got no clue where to start with my life, this site or these posts - so we’re just going to jump right in. Sometimes I feel like when I tell people about my kids, this topic is the elephant in the room? How did we get to a point where Mitchell adopted Payton? Who/Where is Payton’s biological dad? There’s a high probability I’m in my head about that but we’ll just start here, and I'll tell ya'll where he's at. 

Alright, here goes nothing! I'm crossing my fingers that this will be the first of many (mostly) exciting stories to share with you in this little space.
