Hi Leah,

I think you would find that I am sometimes and in someways more "traditional" and not in others. I do believe God made us all different for a reason. You might be quite surprised to find some things about me. Like 2 weeks ago Friday, I was hurt in a mosh pit at an Anberlin/Hoobastank concert, and although, I don't care much for the lead singer of Hoobastank's language (my more traditional side), I still thought they played well (although I really wish he wouldn't have told people security was bored and they needed to crowd surf more. I was rather partial to my nose. LOL)

I like Pop punk a little more than pure punk, though, although I would probably like some of the borderline music in that genre. They all cross over so much. I've gone to Warped Tour the last three years. I like a lot of alternative rock, pop punk, some pop, Christian Rock, Contemporary and Alternative - pretty much most things that aren't rap or screamo. As you can tell, I'm very much into music and concerts AND photography, especially concert photography. I can share my site with you sometime if you are interested. I also like to write, but I do it somewhat sporadically.

While I am not much into tatoos, my daughters have enough I don't need any. LOL As you might have guessed by my last comment, I am not a youngster and my kids are now grown up. It wasn't always easy, and there were a lot of ups and downs. Still going through some of them from time to time, but still worth it.

I do read my Bible, but admittedly and probably not often enough of late (and often enough means not often enough for me.)

I think you will find we are all different and coming from different places, and our relationship with God is not always static.

Of course you are welcome here. This board is here because many of us have been in crisis pregnancy situations in our lives, or have a special love for women and children and that's why we are here. Feel free anytime.

Pity parties are normal. I've been there too many times. LOL Really, I could throw a big one this week. They can be a lot to carry around if they go on for years I suppose. ;) I know you love your baby, but each pregnancy is an adjustment, and if you are like me hormones coupled with uncertainty can make things seem a little crazy for a while. Hopefully they continue to settle for a bit even with the ups and downs.

Anyway, take care, and feel free to keep coming back anytime.

It's been really great reading your stories ladies....it's nice to know a bit about the women who helped me through an incredibly tough time! I am happy I got to share some stuff about me as well. Melanie...you attend Warped Tour awesome so do I...it may be kind of tough this coming year as I will be HUGELY prego lol but if there's a will there's a way lol...anyways are you familiar with an organization that tours with Warped? They are called To Write Love On Her Arms.....they work with youth who have been affected by self-harm(ie cutting etc) suicide and abuse(substance,emotional etc) If you haven't heard of them you can just google the name To Write Love On Her Arms and the site will come up,actually I would recommend this to ANYONE who reads this. It is an amazing story with so much hope and inspiration.....I am a HUGE supporter of this movement so if any of you have the time PLEASE PLEASE CHECK IT OUT...I know there are probably alot of youth who post here,and I had read a post where one of the young girls took her own life...maybe you could find this a useful resource when working with the young women who post here? It is also based in finding help from God..so please check it out. Sorry wasn't trying to do a plug there but it is just SUCH an amazing movement. Thank-you all again for sharing with me! Oh and I have been thinking about baby names I like Sadie for a girl(it means princess :) )and Cashton for a boy (I love Johnny Cash) what do you think? Till later ........
