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.

Love is stronger then ever
My feelings, and my intuition that this was meant to be couldn't have been more accurate.

To my husband on his 22nd birthday

Dear Jared, Happy birthday handsome! You're 22.  I can't express how blessed I am to have spent 6 birthdays with you (including this one) , and so many more to come.   I just want to let you know that i am incredibly proud of the man you've always been, and the even better man you've grown to be.  I am so proud of you for everything you've accomplished,  and I am SO thankful for every thing you do for us.  You work your butt off so that we can have the things that we have, pay our bills, and enjoy life.  I know sometimes I may take that for granted, and I'm sorry i know i don't say thank you enough.  I love you more than words can express, and I am SO blessed to be your wife. You are the most amazing, handsome, kind man I have ever met.  You can make anyone smile, and you always brighten up rooms with yours.  You are strong, hard-working, and humble.  You are funny, and sweet.  I couldn't have asked for a better man to spend...

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 j...

My hopes for 2019

  Once again another year has come and gone.   2018 was kind of a challenging year.   We moved out of our home and back in with my parents ( due to us buying a home that we are still in the process of completely remodeling ) but we are getting closer and closer to being back in our own house.  It was another year of trying for baby #1 with no success at all.  It was also the first year since we have graduated that we didn't get to take our yearly vacation.  2018 was kinda tough, but i truely believe 2019 will be a year to remember.  My hopes for 2019! And things I'm looking forward too.  - I start college January 14th! -  My 21st birthday is on January 28th! Finally legal to drink in public, without the hubby having to buy them for me.  💋 - Moving into our house! Only a little left to do.  I can't wait to have our house done and have all of our own things back.   I'm kinda decorating as we get each ro...
