I liked them both pretty well, although I didn't really like how Something Borrowed ended (I thought she should've gotten together with her best guy friend).<br /><br />Oddly enough, I haven't read either of these books yet. I usually do like to read the book before seeing a movie, but for some reason I've been doing it backwards lately!Jennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04962587342835841240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-20787508216988007972011-05-09T20:23:41.800-04:002011-05-09T20:23:41.800-04:00(New reader here!)
I totally feel your mother...(New reader here!) <br /><br />I totally feel your mother's day pain. I'm married, almost 30, and the babies haven't come, and I don't know if they ever will. Definitely a hard day. I spend so much time reminding myself that life isn't a race, but it's easier said than done. I look forward to reading more of your blog!Unlikely Oilfield Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02339868851944310580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-77674936762952742482011-05-09T12:20:14.415-04:002011-05-09T12:20:14.415-04:00Hey yesterday I was thinking about mothers day and...Hey yesterday I was thinking about mothers day and saw that all of my friends were posting about their moms on facebook, and many of my friends were celebrating their own first mothers days. And meanwhile I was assigned my first child custody case for CASA (an amazing organization that I volunteer with - you can look it up!) and my kid is a month old and already part of the foster care system.<br /><br />I was thinking about how on mothers day we need to think about not only our own mothers, for those of us who are fortunate enough to have good ones, but also those who don't have good moms, or who have moms who don't know how to raise their kids, and who are trying to just be better than their own mom was for them. And finally all the women of the world who act as role models for the children who don't have good moms. I was watching extreme home makeover last night and this woman was a high school volleyball coach and she took in three girls ages 12, 13 and 18 whose parents couldn't care for them and died of drug overdoses. And for the first time they lived in a permanent home with a woman who loved them, and they started to call her mom.<br /><br />I'm totally rambling! I have no idea if you or anyone else will be a mom, but I hope you are if that's what you want. But just remember that there are a lot of roles for women in the world and you don't have to be a mom to make a huge difference to a child. And on mothers day it seems like everyone we know is a mom or has an awesome relationship with their mom, but remember that that's not always true everywhere. And I wouldn't worry about being a mom some day, if you love kids (which I think you do), I'd just keep on working with kids as much as possible. You really never know what it might lead to! xoMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953521704613439518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-33300370823040154982011-05-09T12:20:02.794-04:002011-05-09T12:20:02.794-04:00That is quite the schnazzy incentive deal you and ...That is quite the schnazzy incentive deal you and your friend have going. <br /><br />No worries about motherhood!

I'm not really there yet, because none of my closest friends have kids yet (which is weird, because we're all turning 30 this year and hello... it's the midwest! lol) so I'm not really feeling the pain hard yet. I do see little kids and feel an aching for them. I just can't wait and know I am meant to be a mom. I think most women are!! I am sure you are too. What I have been trying to do lately is give up control and really let God control my destiny. He knows better than us! <br /><br />Love the plan that you're doing with your friend! How motivating!! <br /><br />I loved Something Borrowed too. I haven't read Water for Elephants so I'm going to wait to see it. It's really killing me! I have a feeling I am going to love it! <br /><br />Hang in there, lady! I think you're wonderful!Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.com
