My Story.

So this will be my introductory entry! I suppose I should have made this blog a long time ago to follow my pregnancy and my recovery postpartum. But I'm a lazy ass, so I'm just now getting around to it! Here's my life story, lol.

I graduated HS in 2004 as a mediocre C student. I was a daydreamer, and spent most of my "study time" working on my artwork for my AP art class or practicing my flute for the many solo, UIL, and marching contests. I've always been more of an artistic/creative person, than a book smart study freak. I had 3 horses then, and spent my weekends at a friend's team roping pen, where I learned to rope and was pretty good at it. I acquired my '95 Ram when I was 16, you'll learn that it was/is a big part of me.

After graduating and entering the college world I sold my horses and was involved in a serious, and mentally abusive relationship for 3 years which robbed me of a lot of self esteem and self confidence. It took me two years to get it back. I sunk into a deep depression, but in some ways it helped me out. Since I wasn't allowed to go anywhere or do anything, all I did was study. Those 3 years of college were not wasted, as I made all A's and B's in all of my classes, and had a steady 3.5 GPA.

In 2007 I wrecked my truck and was unable to return to school. I ended the 3 year relationship, finally, and I entered my "party phase". I spent more days/nights intoxicated than I care (or am able) to remember. I was involved in yet another mentally abusive relationship, but thankfully it only lasted 6 months. I held a job at Baytown Dodge during this time as well. I partied pretty hard until January 2008 when I met my husband, Cade.

Cade and I started seeing each other that January and into March when we made it official. It was pretty much love from the start. I stopped partying so much and started to settle down. Cade is 5 years older than me, and was already in the process. He had a great job, but lacked a bit of direction...as did I. We were exactly what the other needed, and I knew it immediately. We were engaged in January '09, moved into a new house in February '09, conceived our son in May '09, and were married in August '09. We welcomed Nolan Wayne into the world on February 5th and life is amazing so far. I love being a family :)

That's my story, shortened and put bluntly.
