On November 30th 2008 at 8:11pm my beautiful daughter, Madilynn Grace Newman, was born and life has definately driven me in a new direction ever since. It's been amazing watching her learn and absorb new things everyday and seeing myself grow as well. Although, she has given me many reasons to smile, it's tough being a single mom. Over the past year, I have been challenged on so many levels and it's forcing me to become a stronger person for Madi. I proudly work in Compliance for Bell Helicopter, love to cook, love to rock out to my favorite bands and sing in the car, love to shop for Madi, love the outdoors and the smell of rain, love to dance barefoot after a few good shots, love to live life to the fullest bc you just never know when the day will be your last.
