Love at first sight

  August of 2013.  Thats where our love story begins.  It was the beginning of sophomore year at a new school.   I was nervous, yet excited for a fresh start.  New friends, cute boys, teachers that didn't know me as the girl who always got in trouble.    Really it was like a whole new "era" for me.   I never expected to fall in love, but life is full of the unexpected. 

  First day of school, 2nd period. Ms. Liddles classroom.  That's English, by the way.  That is when i first saw him.  He was in the first row of the classroom, 4th chair back.   Handsome, muscular, stalky build.  He had this appearance about him that just had "bad boy" written all over him.  ( Little did i know he was the sweetest man i have ever met.)  He looked much older than what he was, probably because of his facial hair which i found extremely attractive.  But from the moment I first saw him, I KNEW he would become my husband someday.

  (Call me crazy, it sounds crazy right? And you don't have to believe me.  But I'm being serious.  Anyways.... back to our story.)  I didn't know his name.  Just that he was gonna play a HUGE part in my life someday.         And again I honestly have no idea how i knew that.

Two weeks pass us by and I'm talking to Katie, a new friend.  Well she keeps talking about this guy that she likes that rides her bus.  Jared Brock.   Okay cool, he seems great.  Good for her! So I tell her about this mystery guy in my English class that I totally have the hots for, but i didn't know his name (probably a good thing at this point.) 

Ehhh... this is when things get a little crazy. So I'm in class the next day, and we are all taking turns reading parts of a book in front of the entire class.  Then all of a sudden Ms. Liddle says "Jared, can you read the next part?" So I started to panic a little.  Jared.  Jared as in KATIE'S JARED?  Not good.   In fact, really bad.  Uh oh.

  So things were kinda awkward for a while after that.  I wasn't really sure what to do at that point.  The guy I knew I was meant to be with, was my friends boyfriend.   My first new friend at this school.  Well one day Katie walks up to me and tells me that Jared wants my phone number, and that she is talking to another guy.  Okay.... turn of events.  

  That night I text him for the first time.  It was awkward, but exciting.  I typed out the message telling him how i felt, but was to shy to send it.  My friend Miranda sent it for me.  Thank God she did,  because lucky for me he felt the same exact way.  We talked on the phone all night long, and on September 7th 2013 we began dating.

Bitterness with infertility

It can be hard.  Really really hard.  Most days are fine.  You can cope with your childless void, and exist in every day life with a smile and truly be happy for your friends and family with children.  With pregnancy announcements and baby showers.  Most days I'm happy for them.  Excited with them even.    BUT then there are the days I miss my period.  I'll go months being completely regular and then out of no where I miss.  For no reason.  I wait a week after i miss my period to take a pregnancy test, just to be safe to make sure af doesn't show her ugly stupid face.  I imagine myself telling jared we are pregnant, us telling our parents, doing a gender reveal,  having a baby shower,  ultrasounds, heck I even picture myself with a big ole pregnant belly.   But the catch? Test is always negative.  I'm never pregnant,  even when i miss.  Never.  It's just a sick game my body plays with my head that ends with me being dissappinted, upset, and angry every time it happ

A letter to the girl I was 5 years ago

  Sometimes it doesn't feel like it's been 5 years.  15 doesn't seem that far off.   But that's how life is.... time passes us by,  things change, and life goes on.  15 was a crazy year, huh? There Was bad,  and there was good.   I can still remember that year like it was yesterday.  I'm sure I'll never forget it, as that year was a very impactful year for me.  I turned 15 on January 28th 2013.  The beginning of that year was pretty normal for me.  I was a freshman at Eastern High School, Skinny,  Pretty,  Carefree, Lots of friends,  but tender hearted and naive.   I went to parties frequently (that my parents had no idea about) and I was pretty much your typical average teenage  girl.  Until my best friend since middle school betrayed me and all of my secrets.  I was embarrassed, I was alone, and suicidal.   I ended up enrolling in Ecot for homeschooling because I was just so depressed.  I did good with Ecot for a while, but i missed having friends... So I s

Advice to new home health aides

  Home Health Aide/ HHA, Personal Care Aide/ PCA.  That's what i am.  That's what i do.  It's a job that I continue to find my way back to.    Being a home health care provider is not an easy job, but it's a rewarding one.   Don't get me wrong, you'll have easy clients.  The ones that just want to sit and chat,  or watch movies,  or bake, or make crafts, or play cards, etc.   And the memories you make are amazing.  Your client becomes apart of your family,  and you apart of there's.   They make your time at work incredibly enjoyable and you are so so very thankful for your job.  And for them.  These clients are so appreciative of you, and everything you do.  They treat you with respect and love.  And you just enjoy working for them,  and they enjoy your company. You'll also have some difficult clients.   The ones who feel their way is the only way and they will ride a stick up your behind until you do it exactly how they want it done ( no, not literall
