The life I was suppose to have;

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!

Graduating already! & Christmas;

So Mr.Copeland's present came in the mail today! Well 2/3 of it anyways :) I'm soooo glad because I finally got to actually see it and wrap it! How exciting!

On this note I want to say how much I really want to adopt a child off the angel tree :/ I wish I had enough money to do so but this year it just isn't happening. I'm 100% sure next year I WILL give a less fortunate child a wonderful Christmas.


I bought my cap and gown today! Yeah that's right already a graduate. December 17 I'll have to AA in my hand :) Mr.Copeland has even made it a point to make it home on time to see me receive it. That makes me so happy. It's nice to know that my highschool tassel said 2010 and my college one says 2011 instead of 2012. What a great accomplishment :) I'm very very happy to have gotten the chance to finish up college so quick. I'm ready to get out in the world and get it over with!!!

Still upset about my little car :( and totally not excited to go to class at 7:10 in the AM. Also gotta start on my stocking shopping. I'm so lame!!!
