Well, I'll start by saying I got married at the young age of 17. We thought we were so grown up, and that it was the best decision in the world. We were WRONG. There is a time in your life when you really should listen to mommy and daddy lol. We've been married 15 months now. The first year, I've heard, is the hardest. Well our first year came and went, and it's still fucking hard. I didn't marry him just to divorce him though. So we're sticking it out. We both have some growing up to do, more him than me.. and we're making baby steps, and hopefully going in the right direction of having a great, real marriage.
I got pregnant on my honeymoon, and miscarried at 8 weeks. I want to say it was a blessing in disguise. Getting pregnant made us realize that we needed to start acting like the adults we had wanted to be, and start living life right. 3 months later we conceived Karlie. I was sick every day from the day I found out I was pregnant, until the day I found out she was a girl. I was on bed rest twice, and had two bacterial infections. I got toxemia, and swelled up like a fucking balloon. I gained 42 lbs. I hated everything about being pregnant. lol.
I graduated high school in 2007 when I was 17, just 7 months before getting married. I started college when I was pregnant, but was forced to drop out from missing too much. Now, starting in January, I'm back in school full time, and graduating in May!
Joshua just recently re-enrolled in high school, since he never graduated. And also enlisted in the Army. He leaves in January for basic.
My life isn't easy, and it's no where near perfect.. but it's MY life. Every day is a challenge, but some days are also fun and exciting and memorable. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
