Anyone who is reading this knows who I am. Not everyone knows who my life has changed.

Most of my life I lived in Galva, SEVENTEEN years, in the same house for fourteen. Grew up with small town values, and anyone who has stepped into my life I have taken a little piece of them with me. High School was the best time of my life, from the football team to dancing at the dome to the close circle of friend sitting up at the flats. The time I remember most are; (my favorite, and It just a moment) When we won state I looked over and saw the the guys about as excited as us. I loved them for coming to cheer us on. Those guys made this moment special. (The funniest Pulling pole out of the grown in the jeep, it was great. Sitting at the flats talking about nothing, doing nothing was great, even in the winter.

What I regret most about high school, was when I let go of the people who meant the most to me. Even though most have forgiven me it still to this day and most likely bugs me the rest of my life.

People would always tell me I hate Galva, I cant wait to live, and there is nothing to do here I never understood them. I think they never hung out with the right people. I always found something to do. You could give me a box of rocks and a few friends we find something entertaining to do with it. I knew when my parents divorce and remarried that my life would never be the same.  I get along with my dads side better than my moms side. Probably because my dads side has less kids or maybe because there all little and Im good with little kids. My dad is more down to earth, and laid back. I grew up this way, our house wasnt perfect everyday. I love my dad for this. My dad as most know went over seas after graduation, Im glad he is back. I move up with my moms side, there is always a fight with the children, who got a better car, or who doing what first. There house always has to be perfect, you cant eat anywhere but the dinning room, no drinks in the bedroom. I was always breaking the rules. I was coming HOME (Galva) every weekend. I did not like living with them. The first year I live with them was hell, I didnt have a bed or a room I slept on the couch. Mom had giving me the Grand Prix so that I could come home when I wanted, and the step sister would take my car without asking. One time took it while I was in the shower, and made me late for work. Then the car broke down in Galva and that's when they decided I needed a new car since I had a job. The step sister was so mad, even thou I was in college and had a job and did I say I was older than her. She was just pissed because she couldnt steal it anymore. I finally got my own room and then we decided to move, which was great, a better safer part of town, and I still got my own room. But the fighting still went on.

The Shit really hit the fan, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me when I came home of day of a funeral. I wasnt pretty enough for him anymore. If wasnt for my one good Freeport/Warren friend I dont know what would have happen. When I took her home to meet my entire group of friends for my nineteenth birthday, man was that great. It was my first time ever drinking and was it fun.

I came home and I stop looking for the guy. Then, I got a job at Dominos. Which was great cause I need to get of the house. I meet this wonderful man at dominos, and a week after I worked there we started dating, we were inseparable, a month after dating we moved in together, and a month after living together we go engaged.  

Let me back up, the guy. Nick Davis, he is 23 and amazing, yes we have our moments but everyone does. He has a son, Sean who is 3 and crazy but you cant help but love him. Just look at his pictures of him on my page. Seans mom past away last year, she was very sick and it was all of the sudden. Nick and I were put on earth to find each other. On our first date we could have talked the night away. We just love each other, he makes me laugh, and someday I just cant stop laughing. Sean, what can I say? I have watched him grow so much this year. I never wanted to replace his mother; I never forced him to call me mommy. I try so hard to keep him mothers memory alive in him, even though Nick and I know he will forget. He knows the difference between us. I love to see him grow and talk to him, and for him be so happy to see him when I pick him up from daycare. I love it. We are a FAMILY. Nick and I are getting married next year; we are still talking about a date.

Now I work at a Liberty Village at Manor Court the Nursing Home as a CNA (with benefits) and I love it. I will be back at school next semester part time.  I saving money to move from the apartment we are at now to rent a house in a safe neighborhood with a yard so we can play. Everyone goes through time were they lose their job, move to a bad area, run out of money, or get in a fight with the other. All of that has happened, BUT, Im still here and HAPPY because I have my two guy right there with me. We are getting back on our way. So what If I cant have the luxuries you think I should have, I have plenty of what I need, and well worry about wants later.

 And if Id died today have piece in knowing I had everything I ever wanted. A CHILD!

So dont say that you are disappointed in where I am at when you havent been there. You learn by making your own decisions good or bad you learn. I dont care what you think, I have a family(and deep down I always wanted a child) and I am Truly happy. And If you are my true friend you would be happy too.
