I am 1 of 4 kids. It originally started out as just me and my younger sister Elishia. We are only 16 month apart in age. When my parents divorced in 2004 they both remarried a year later. My dad and his new wife had a son (she didn't have children) and I finally had a little brother! He's turning 5 this December.
Then to make a very long story short we discovered we had an older sister named Lauren who is 10 months older than me! We have the same dad. So now I am the second of 4 kids.
Time has seemed to race on and on over the years. I cannot believe I am 22 years old and I am married first of all, and a mom! I am thrilled to be who I am and where I am. I never imagined it to be this great. Of course there are bad days, (AJ's whiny/ill all day or me and the husband argue, or we're broke for a month at a time) But God always gets us through. Always. I made Him my foundation and He hasn't crumbled, and He wont.
We live in a very small apartment in a very small town. In July of 2011 we've lived here 3 years. It's been ok and I'm content with it but we have very limited parking and space which makes it nearly impossible to have comfortable company over. Which is very annoying, I love having company and friends over but this place makes it a struggle. We are hoping to build a home within the next 5-6 months after purchasing a lot or some land. We're kind of putting it out in the air and letting God move it into place in His time.
I am very excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas this year since AJ is 2, he better understands whats going on and is a little more excited about gifts and seeing family. His second birthday party was a blast and he had a lot of fun. He's so smart, he can count to 10, he can say his ABC's (missing a few letters of course) but he repeats and remembers everything! Already putting sentences together as well, knows a few opposites (up-down, hot-cold, go-stop, yes-no, light-dark). He's such a joy! I cannot wait to give him a little brother or sister to teach all the things he knows.
I seems I've lived to tell a lot in my 22 years, I wonder how my point of view and experience will heighten in time?
