Inside the Minds of Valerie and Mike (and Anna)
Whew, haven't blogged in a bit. I'm going to attempt to start doing some book reviews type entries and it really is no secret that I love to read. A few weeks ago I realized that I was running low on books to read, I literally only had 1 book that I wanted to read. I... Continue Reading →
As I suspected at the beginning of the week, this morning was great. I woke up and for the first time I did not feel sick, of course it was the day we were leaving. I am not entirely sure why, but we had set the alarm to a quarter to 6. It must have... Continue Reading →
After not being able to actually see anything at our last attempt to go to the Today Show, we decided that we wanted to try again. Although, we were a little nervous because it was a big day for us and we weren't sure it would be worth going as we didn't see any celebrities... Continue Reading →
The second morning in New York was a lot better, but still not great. I woke up in the morning with the same feeling in my stomach. Though, it was a lot better because I was not adding another layer by worrying if I was actually sick, I knew that I wasn't and that by... Continue Reading →

“Mother used to come pick me up after kindergarten and we would walk home hand in hand. No Matter how cold it was or how windy it was. Rain, shine, sleet, or snow. We would have had a skipping race all the way home. My smile only grew bigger as I saw the neighbors watching... Continue Reading →
Terror is chilling my veins. I hear the door bang open. My breath is visible here. Surrounding me. Choking me. I curl up as tight up as I can. I try to believe that I am invisible. Maybe, if I think that I don’t exist, I really won’t and he will just go away. The... Continue Reading →
