Today I'm stealing a little posting idea from Brittany at Tales From a Sailor's Soul Mate. Go show her some love.
After reading Brittany's post I was inspired to think about where I would be today if a few things hadn't of happened.
While I was still in highschool I had all intentions of going to a big university. It was more then just to cheer for a school, it was to continue color guard. That was a love of mine in highschool. Unfortunately funds didn't really cooperate on that part and I ended up at a local state college, Pensacola State. I decided to attend for my nursing degree and would continue on the route for my four year degree once I moved to Virginia with Chance.
Planes however do change. Last December, my last semester at PSC, I got a funny feeling. I couldn't wake up in the morning without eating because of nausea. Chance and I would soon find out out that I was pregnant.
Needless to say this made Chance and me a little worried. We stressed for a bit but we made it through. On December 17, 2011 (just 3 days after we found out I was pregnant)I graduated from PSC with my AA in Pre-nursing. We were both extremely joyous that I did get to finish my degree.
With a baby coming we decided to get engaged and have a courthouse marriage. We married December 27 and Chance headed back to Virginia the next day.
At this very moment I'm writing this blog with my two month old sleeping beside me on the couch. Never in a million years did I dream I would be a mommy at the age of 20. My dream of going to college for my bachelors has once again been put on hold. B was born at the beginning of this semester so I didn't even try to go back. With a deployment coming up I'll be moving back to FL for a while. I can say that I do not regret a single thing. Yes, I did want the perfect proposal and the BIG white wedding. All of this stuff was put aside when we found out we had been blessed. We got married way earlier then planned but we are both perfectly happy with this. We're so happy to be parents!
Did you happen to get married in the Pensacola courthouse, because that's where Mr and I were married! I didn't include that part, but thanks to the Navy my dreams of a big wedding were put on hold, so I went to visit him while he was in school in Pensacola and we got married! :) So glad you enjoyed my post! I loved reading your's!
ReplyDeleteActually right out side of Pensacola in a town called Crestview. I seem yours actually looked like a wedding though... Ours was done by a lady behind a desk :/
