My name is Jamie, most of my friends call me Jay. I was born in Vallejo and moved to Mill Valley when i was 16. I graduated from Tamalpais High and tried to do the college thing. I have had so many up's and down's in my life that i cant even count them all!! Some have been good and have changed my life forever, and some have been bad to where i wish i never remembered them. I have failed. I have succeeded. I have learned. I have grown. I am what I am today because of the love of my mother and the strength and confidence in myself, because of my past and my mistakes that i take full blame for.

I have recently became a mother to a very beautiful boy who i named Jared. He has so many nick names from Jare Bear, Pooh Bear, Bear Bear, to JARED KYLER (only when he is in trouble LOL). I am a single mother going back to school in hopes to becoming a Medical Asst and hoping when my son gets a little older i can go back and be a nurse.

Who ever thinks that being a single mother is easy, they are truly wrong, and if you honestly think it is i envy you and put you on a petal stool!! :o)

Being a mother is a very difficult job. Being a single mother i think is harder. I struggle everyday, and pray that it gets better. I have to admit i sure wasn't ready to become a mother, but i don't look back and regret on anything. My son has saved me and made me a complete different person. i am truly blessed that i have him in my life and that my Heavenly Father chose me to have one of his sons. I say that because i have recently gone back to church and I'm just now understanding that we were already born and picked are family, parents etc.

I'm starting my blog to keep in touch with my family who i wish i see and spend more time with. I never really valued or cared about family tell i had Jared, and started reading The Book of Mormon, i come to realize in the end your family is all you got. I can never make up the time and days that i was never involved for, but what counts the most is that I'm trying. Family is all i need right now to help me grow as a Daughter, Grand Daughter, Niece, Sister and now a Mother, and i hope they will all be standing there clapping there hands as hard as they can when i walk across that stage with my certificate of completion to my future for not only myself but for my Son. I'm also doing to because it sounds like fun! :o) I hope you all enjoy.
