For as long as I can remember, I never had my mind set on a career. Little girls wanted to be princesses, ballerinas, doctors, nurses, etc... But not me. From a young age until now, I have thought about tons of different options and I'm still looking. Psychologist, Veterinarian, Nurse, Business Manager, Office Assistant, Cosmetologist, Teacher.... the list could go on and on. One thing is for sure though, I always knew I wanted to be a wife and a mother at a young age.
Family is the absolute most important thing to me. I'm a homebody, I would rather spend my days at home with my family. I love to cook and bake, I enjoy decorating a doing crafts. I loathe working and doing anything that doesn't involve my home; my mom has always joked and called me "Miss Suzie Homemaker"... I am the exact opposite of her.
But I guess things happen, life happens. My dreams sort of fell through and I kicked myself in the butt by having a baby at 18. My husband and I have been together since we were 16, but didn't get married until 21... we did things sort of backwards according to traditional society, and it was a long and hard road that I don't think I would wish upon anyone. In the past 6 years I have experienced more things than people my age are even beginning to experience... but I would never take back one second of it.
My life is beautiful, my family is beautiful. I have so much to be thankful for, and so much ahead in my future.
This is a little bit about me and my family... and I can't wait to share more about our daily events and never-ending laughs. It truly is never a dull moment in the Newman household. :)
One reason why i cherish the friendship that you and i have is because of the things we go through. We pretty much go through the same things if not at the same time, then its one thing right after another.
ReplyDeleteYour Strength and will power to continue in life as a mother and wife is what i cherish the most.
You and Tj give me the hopes that one day...I too will be as happy as you. The way you to love and care for Brooklyn together, despite all the negative things you two have gone through is strength beyond words.
As young teen parents, we have been called some very ugly names, spat upon, talked about, we have even been made fun of and we've been told NUMEROUS times that we weren't going to make it...but we did... YOU DID. Look at you now.... YOUR MARRIED and living in NORTH CAROLINA. Your living the dream that God has created for you to live. You have proven to all of those "haters" that YES, you may be a statistic of young teen age pregnancy....but you made it out alive, in one whole piece and your doing a DAMN GOOD JOB!!!
I miss you more than words can say and I promise....my first vaca out of this HELL HOLE will be to you. [save me some snow in the freezer if its summer time by then;-) ] I love you Kales. I just wanted to tell you how proud I am to not only have a friend like you, but one that i can still share stories with and run to....only cause your going through it too =)
Love, Devyn<3
